Man, this site’s admisistrators must be getting unhappy. It was slashdotted at 6:00 EDT and is now on hackaday. I love this sort of senseless innovation and Rube Goldberg-y quirkyness.

actually #1, I am well aware. I read about it at 8:30am this morning. However, my 2nd to last final was today and that was what delayed today’s post. I apologize!

heh vince I don’t think #1 was trying to rag on you, just making a comment about how much usage the site is getting. I don’t think the admins there are too unhappy though, as cornell pages are often slashdotten, and besides, a big univ. should have a decent backbone for this kind of stuff =p.

as far as the project, it’s a really great idea, and I’m looking forward to tweaking it and making my own version.

Ohhhhhhh… I was looking for some 433MHz processors in there! It’s just the wireless frequency though.

Very very awesome project. Excellent idea for a kool-aid stand this summer!

The first thing that comes to mind is, “Share and Enjoy!” Douglas Adams fans hopefully understand what I’m talking about.

Uhm…this thing doesn’t run anywhere near 400mhz.. it uses an 8-bit microcontroller, 433 mhz is the wireless frequency it operates on.

um the intro there is kinda misleading lol but anyone who actually have read it would have know that its not the prcessor power it uses but its the frequency that it runs on, however i would like to suggest that can ya be a little more specific? cuz i first thought : great! now i can bug my computer teacher for that old and useless pc and use it to make a fundraiser for our school band trip!
