Remember to bring extension cords and power strips.
We found out last month that the library added more electrical outlets to the room. Yay.<br><br>Our room reservation at the library will need to be renewed in the near future. Should we try to start earlier at 5:45pm? <br><br>A few of us made it to the Arduino Hackathon hosted at OpenX last Friday. Our project was called the Acme Intrusion Prevention System. It was a real MacGyver effort that involved zipties, electrical tape, fishing line, and a Nerf rocket launcher. Thanks to Mic and Jess and James and Jana for bringing the parts and tools. I think we will try to work on version 2.0 at HAK. It will involve some redesign as we don't have the same list of parts.<br><br>If Braddock can make it, I hope he can give us an update on Internet in a Box. The video from his SGVLUG presentation is up at http://internet-in-a-box.org/<br><br><br><div
