Message-ID: <46623E6E.3020904@noisybox.net> I've still got 3 remaining shirts from the first batch that haven't been picked up. According to The List, they are for Jared, Brian, and Chester. If possible, please come to the Wednesday meeting at Vendetta and pick yours up! If you can't make it, please email me off-list for arrangements. In the coming week, I will be submitting a new order for another batch of 25 shirts. 8 of the 25 are already accounted for with pre-orders from the last meeting. I'm hoping to finish up the order on Thursday, so if you're interested and have yet to sign up, please let me know. For those who haven't seen the shirts, they look really great...and they're a STEAL at $8, which is our cost. You can see what they look like here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/breedx/506481666/in/pool-dorkbotpdx/ Thomas is showing off the front (designed by Alexis), and the back can be seen hanging on the wall behind him.

I've since taken one apart and to my (relatively untrained/inexperienced) eye, there's a wealth of bits and bobs on the inside for the taking. They're almost all through-hole parts and many of the ICs are in sockets. These things were built for field repair, which makes them good for salvage too :) They have two monochrome LCDs, one of which is a touchscreen. They've all got thermal receipt printers too, so that could be fun for something. I've got something like 20 of these in my basement and I want them gone. They're free for the taking. Also! Last week I bought parts to build 10 ScopeOnPC boards, which is a 100KHz parallel port scope. There is free Windows and DOS software. I haven't contacted the guy, but you might be able to get the source to make a *nix port if you try. Details at http://scopeonpc.tripod.com/index.htm One of the parts had a minimum quantity order of 10, so I got some extra kits. They cost me about $7 each when all was said and done. If you want one, I'd be happy to baggy it up for you for that price. You'd just need some perfboard, a parallel cable, and a probe. If you're interested in either (or both, or multiples of either, or whatever!), email me and we'll make arrangements for one of the following: 1) Pick it up at a meeting 2) Meet me at my office in NW PDX 3) Come to my house in Tigard Cheers, Ben From jason at noisybox.net Sun Jun 3 23:03:53 2007 From: jason at noisybox.net (Jason Plumb) Date: Sun Jun 3 23:08:29 2007 Subject: [dorkbotpdx-blabber] Free POS terminals and cheap 'scope kits In-Reply-To: <20070603190002.GB63670@bleything.net> References: <20070603190002.GB63670@bleything.net> Message-ID: <46638119.2030200@noisybox.net> Hey Ben, What are the approx dimensions of the 2700s?

Dang! I've had meetings and commitments every dang Dorkbot Wednesday so far. (Ah, the joys of college and marriage.) I'd love 1 or 2 of 'em, and can pick up any number of them after work.

Haunted Garden doesn't really need a big amp. Stereo's a little better than mono, but nothing to worry about. I'll bring sufficient adapters. Little computer speakers or ipod speakers (tee ehm) will probably work too. It's supposed to be a quiet piece (It's been drowned out a lot, in keeping with my adage: "so subtle no once noticed." I once had a piece at burning man drowned out by a hot dog "vendor" who was using it as a windbreak.) If you want a preview, here's a recording of Haunted Garden "commenting" on an SF dorkbot session at RX gallery (the one where they talked about the atomic bomb anniversary explosion in the desert). I did this by having my laptop listen to the session, while haunted garden was playing and recording, but the speakers were turned off, so nobody else heard it. http://www.art.net/~simran/SoundSculpture/HauntedGarden/mp3/HG_DorkBot_615_take2.mp3 For other previews, Kepler's Orrery runs as an applet.

If you're a hacker, painter, engineer or sculpture, musician or maker you'll fit right in. We bring together the tech and art worlds and enjoy it all over a pint of beer. We'll have presentations and performances by these fine folks: Jason Plumb is a software engineer by day...hardware hacker, reverse engineer, and experimental sound geek by night. He will provide an overview of the Essential Reality P5 glove controller and explain how it can be used with free and open-source software to create and manipulate sound. Jesse Fox studied music composition and physics at Bates College before getting a Master's Degree from the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University. He will discuss his involvement with the League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots (LEMUR) and describe the detailed techincal recreation of George Antheil's "Ballet Mecanique", which includes xylophones, bass drums, tam-tam, pianists, electric bells, a siren, airplane propellers, and a volley of player pianos. Donald Delmar Davis, principal research anarchist at D3 Laboratories, will overview the deconstruction of Arduino and Wiring platforms to create artistic robot platforms with AVR microcontrollers. "AI Begins With Self Destruction" paint & copter create multi-media experiences of regurgitated and improvised media. By synthesizing live and pre-manipulated video feeds, field recordings and live instrumentation, Paint and Copter filter cultural noise and reprocess it into a new, mesmerizing thread. We will also have a brief open-mic of sorts referred to as Open Dork. This is a show and tell where you can have the mic for a few minutes to discuss your latest project, vent about frustrations trying to get your art grant or tell us about the intricacies of the color blue. It's your time to tell us what you think we need to hear. Festivities will begin at 5pm and you can expect them to last until they kick us out. Please bring yourself, your friends and any thing you'd like to share. http://dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/dorkbotpdx_0x00 From tlockney at gmail.com Sat Jun 16 12:21:47 2007 From: tlockney at gmail.com (Thomas Lockney) Date: Sat Jun 16 12:22:06 2007 Subject: [dorkbotpdx-blabber] Re: DorkbotPDX 0x00, June 24th, 5PM, Vendetta In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Ok, so that's the official announcement.

I'll see if I can be there for a bit to check it out, but the main problem you're going to have with the enlarger is that it's basically designed for a "point source" light, which could be pretty hard to get with LEDs at this point. A light box could be a lot easier, but it may take some fiddling to get the light evenly distributed, which of course is the hallmark of any good lightbox.

I'll have to look at the boxes some more and see if there is a way around this. I could place light sensors around the panel to control the brightness across the area?? But I only have so many GPIO's to use for driving the LED's. It will be cool if you can make it this Wednesday. I have more thinking to do on this one before I start getting LED's.

I don't think we'll need that much and honestly, you might just be sitting around half the time, but it would be good to have a couple spare hands. If anyone is interested, I'll be getting there around 4 to get started. If you need to reach me beforehand, you can call my cell phone at 971-322-9408. Also, we're trying to figure out about projection screens. I'm not going to assume any of you have spare projection screens you can bring, but... the biggest issue for us will be that big rolling door opening to the street. Being late afternoon, the sun will be in the west and coming through quite clearly unless we're blessed with overcast skies. The forecasts predict we will be, but I never really believe them here. So, as an alternate, Paige suggested maybe we use cardboard to cover those windows. I have a bunch of cardboard in my storage space, but doubt I could make it by there in time (got a visitor coming in this week and about 3 days worth of work I've got to catch up on today). Anyone got a bunch of cardboard they could bring and duct tape or strong masking/packing tape? If you do, I'll warn you that there's a chance it won't get used, but it would be great to have the option. If anyone else has a great suggestion as an alternate (a large, dark colored tarp would be good -- we can put a light colored sheet over it), that would be most welcome. ~thomas 971-322-9408 -- Thomas Lockney | tlockney@gmail.com | http://opposable-thumbs.net From tlockney at gmail.com Sat Jun 23 20:16:18 2007 From: tlockney at gmail.com (Thomas Lockney) Date: Sat Jun 23 20:16:25 2007 Subject: [dorkbotpdx-blabber] anyone coming or going tomorrow from the lake oswego area?

By "safe include", I assume you mean a mechanism for including local resources under some root directory, without allowing traversal to directories outside that path? In that case, you can drastically simplify the logic from what you have by doing two simple things: first, strip all characters you don't consider 'safe', (i.e., non-alpha/pathsep characters such as '.' or ':') then include the file only if it exists. I'm still not 100% certain that a naive regexp-based filtering method is going to protect you from every possible source of weirdness like Unicode path strings. For this sort of model, though, I'd do something more like the attached, which has the additional change of defining a function you can re-use anywhere you want to do a safe include, without requiring particular GET variables to be defined. That being said, getting security right is *hard*, and not something you should undertake on your own without really understanding the trade-offs. For example, do you really need to allow end users to specify a folder and filename via the request URL, or can you have a pre-canned list of places they can go, and reject anything not on that list? -Lennon -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

So I took some of your advice and made things a little stricter - the script only allows a-z and dash now (no symbols, no numbers). Also, I figured out how to make it a function so it is less repetitive. Next I think I will see if mod-rewrite can hide the fact that it is a query without breaking what I have so far. -Alexis On Tue, 26 Jun 2007, Lennon Day-Reynolds wrote: ::On 6/26/07, Alexis Turner wrote: ::> I've never been totally satisfied with the "safe" PHP includes that I have ::> found ::> on the web so I tried to write one of my own.

I experimented with using a skillet to reflow solder last night. The main difficulty I had was applying the solder paste. I guess the best way to do this is with a solder paste stencil. It seems my options are to order one from someplace or fab it myself. Does anyone have experience with either? I'm keen to have a homebrew approach, since it allows me to experiment and change my design in a just a few hours instead of waiting days. The instructions I have found for diy fab of solder paste stencils seem to use three different methods. 1) laser cutter on mylar -- anyone got access to a laser cutter or is there anyway to get one somewhat cheap like for a couple of hundreds of dollars not thousands? 2) etching brass/copper sheet -- this uses the same technique as making boards, not sure how fine pitch can be achieved, it may depend on the thickness of the sheet 3) hand cutting/grinding with dremel I going to try etching but I'm interested in other options or other folks experiences with this.

One fellow mentioned that Sparkfun had found folks who could laser-cut mylar solder stencils for VERY cheap. The thing was, they didn't actually know what a solder stencil was, or how to handle Gerber files. So you could get a cheap solder stencil if you simply provided it in another format. Maybe that'd work with a sign shop?

FWIW, the place that laser cut and etched the awards for the PDXbot.07 event just used a PDF that we generated from Inkscape. -jason http://noisybox.net
