The first project is building a mythtv box. Mythtv is an open

from scratch. If not, there is a Knoppix version (boot from the
CD, loads
everything) http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html
I am thinking about Saturday the 25th at about 4PM at my place in
Nuuanu.
We can test with my cable tv.
Awesome Matt. Count me in.
I will have all the parts I need. I will have two different video
capture
cards...hopefully we can make both work simultaneously.
If you want to build one for yourself at the same time, bring your
gear. I
have a 4.6Mb DSL at my house & I will open the WiFi if people just
want to
hang out.
I'll see if I can frankenstein something together so I can build along.
People can bring beer - I have lots of Vodka, Rum, & Tequila. If
people are
so inclined we can chip in ($5 or something) and get some pizza or
subs. I
live within one block of Subway, Dominos & Papa Johns.
Pizza sounds good.
Let me know if you are interested in participating.
Future projects I would like to build -
OS fax server using a regular modem -> hylafax
personal email server w/ webmail, spam filter, anti virus etc.
firewall with inbound VPN capability
ability to scan a document, enter an email address and have the
document
sent as a pdf to the email address
put OSX on a normal intel box
microsoft exchange replacement
asterisk server for people's house
Great ideas. I could really use a fax server, can we make that the
next project?
Let me add to that a mousebot made from an old ball mouse. It's look
like it could be done in a few hours. It seems like most of the parts
can be found at Honolulu Electronics or Radio Shack.
