[OT] Anti-Football League lunch tomorrow (Melbourne)

2010-09-23 Thread Greg Keogh 
Folks, if you're sick of footy fever (or you've got footy fever), consider
joining us at the Anti-Football League lunch tomorrow. We'll be at the North
  Fitzroy Star Hotel from midday until
around 4pm. It's an informal day of football-free chat, snacks, drinks and
board games. I think a few IT people are coming already, but it would be
great to have a lot more. See:

It's also registered as an event in Facebook somewhere.

 

Cheers,

Remote control hardware / software

2010-09-23 Thread Glen Harvy 




Hi,

I have received a few requests for a hardware / software solution that
will allow a user to enter a PIN at a remote unattended site that will
then contact via a wireless connection my software located off-site and
providing the PIN is accepted, at least allow a door/gate to be opened,
lights come on, dancing girls flash their tits etc etc etc.

Does anyone know of such a beast available within Australia that will
do such a thing via a suitable wireless interface?

Thanks,

Glen Harvy.

Please let us know if you find one. For me, the PIN, door/gate and lights
are optional. :)

Happy Friday!

I don't know of anything that will do your entire solution off the shelf but
you could substantially break the back of it with the relevant gumstix
modules or an arduino board. Not sure about the dancing girls interface.

You might try looking into arduino:

Or just a simple programmable device like:
http://www.netburner.com/products/serial_to_ethernet.html (I've used
something like that before, I can't remember the exact company name
right now though, but they are probably all similar).

DO you have cost constraints?   I'm thinking too, if there are dancing
girls, can you really claim it's unattended?  (if it is, the problems are
going to be vandalism and people hacking it)  (Look at the construction of
modern outdoor public phones, they're built like tanks)
