Nice!  While we're on the subject of silly but fun dialplan bits, check out my
TV remote extension.  When I moved a few months ago, there was a while when I
couldn't find the wireless keyboard that I usually use as my TV remote to
control MythTV.  So, I built dialplan so I could use a wireless phone as my
remote, instead.  The dialplan reads digits from the phone and sends the correct
commands to a MythTV network control interface for the frontend application.

I posted my tested .conf version and the untested AEL version to the MythTV
wiki.  The AEL version would probably be prettier with macros, now that I think
of it ...
