We've got a preview of the monitor review going live tomorrow. And an update on the challenge to Level1 from Bryan Lunduke.
In case you are unaware, Bryan Lunduke (a "linux guy" in the community, writer of Uptime Funk lyrics, author, OpenSuSE board member, etc) and I have a little friendly competition going for who can put Linux on the most novel absurd thing ever.
I wanted to do a belgian waffle maker, but that was a little difficult to aquire inexpensively so I have opted for plan B. (Well, I'm exploring Plan B). [DotDot, the dot matrix printer robot, seems a little too close to Lunduke's own project! haha]
Plan B: The Hayes Smartmodem 1200 baud. I'm building a Modem Time Machine. Because if you're going to build a time machine, why not do it with some style? The slick all-alumium enclosure is perfect for my needs. I imagine the project will be successful if you can "dial" into the BBSes that have been archived. Any BBS in the database is just an (inconvenient) ATDT away. Hahahahahahaha.
^ Here is the video update on that. In the description is a link to Lunduke's video, and his current status as well.
What do you think, gang? Is a modem time-capsule cool enough to challenge an animatronic puppet?
