January 2007

 * Sunday, 2007-01-28 : Got my reflow griddle working. Pictures of the thing can be found at cryptonomicon.net. Still working on making Eagle CAD "work for me." It came up on MacOS X with no problem, but I'm going to have to do a little digging to find the library parts I need.


 * Saturday, 2007-01-27 : Working on myPhone breakout board. The idea is this is a simple board with surface mount pads that connect through-holes to standard connectors for the LCD, LCD Backlight, touch panel, GumStix, Telit module, USB connector and stereo in/out jacks. It's intended to be "just enough" to give us something to work with for the next couple of weeks (and it's going to be my introduction to Eagle CAD.)


 * Wednesday, 2007-01-24 : Very good club meeting hosted by Instructables.Com. We agree'd on which LCD, touchscreen, GumStix module to use. I think we eventually want to use the GSMStix, when they're available, but will be moving forward with the Telit module for the time being.

 * Tuesday, 2007-04-10 : I was chatting with Adrian about getting GumStix stuff working with the Mac. I tried this earlier and eventually gave up. But chatting about it gave me an excuse to try again. So here's the GumStix Software Development with MacOS page.


 * Friday, 2007-04-13 : In response to a brief article by Brad Smith about Palm and Linux, I penned this response. A couple people thought it was a good description of what we're trying to accomplish, so I cleaned it up a bit, and posted it here.


 * Tuesday, 2007-04-17 : Added SpamBlackList module. I hope it works.


 * Tuesday, 2007-04-17 : Hmm, I should probably start documenting 003.

June 2007

 * Friday, 2007-06-08 : Steve Colby made the very important point that we should start distributing "Tech Notes" to establish prior art for concepts we're not going to patent. I remember IBM used to have such a series, but I didn't realize it was for this purpose.


 * Sunday, 2007-06-10 : Jowles UI Elements begun. Uploaded ringtoneseal.gif that I generated at http://www.says-it.com/seal/.
