Well given that my name's been mentioned, I should probably introduce <br> myself :-) <br> Hello, I'm Adrian! <br> Annoyingly SHDC got started just when I left Cambridge, but after <br> bumping into Simon elsewhere on t'Internet I found out it's going strong <br> and so decided to at least participate virtually. I'm in Liverpool now

Adrian pointed me at <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.pachube.com/">[link]</a>, which is doing some <br> interesting stuff for device feeds. Not the same concept or <br> implementation as i am going after, but interesting to see these <br> things springing up!

Cool, I plan on being there this time at long last :) <br> <p>I got a Mindstorms kit for Christmas so it would be cool to play with <br> it. Any of you used it to make a cool project? <br> <p>I'm also interested in helping with your online db idea. I will post <br> any more concrete ideas I have in the next few days...

Hi SHDCers! <br> <p>The voting so far (<a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.doodle.com/participation.html?">[link]</a> <br> pollId=z7668h7kft3guu4v) currently puts 17th January top of the list, <br> so I'm going to go with that. Put it in your diaries and pass it on! <br> <p>I also got around to a write-up of SHDC#10, which you can find at <br> <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://mookstar.wordpress.com/2008/12/22/shdc10/">[link]</a>

I've got some conductive paint, conductive pen/ink, conductive thread <br> and some copper tape which you are very welcome to play with. None of <br> them are great to work with really in my experience, but just about <br> pass for what they say on the tin at best. <br> <p>simon

I noticed there was some playing around with conductive paint at a <br> recent SHDC. <br> Does this stuff work as advertised? What's its mechanical strength like? <br> How should one connect wires to it? <br> Cheers, <br> hen

Hi SHDCers! <br> <p>Jonny asked me if there was a plan for a festive SHDC. Dates look <br> tight for December, so I thought perhaps we could be festive in <br> January! <br> <p>The voting has worked well, so i'm going with that again. Please vote <br> here for your available dates: <br> <p><a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.doodle.com/z7668h7kft3guu4v">[link]</a>

Poor hugo! I'll have to work on making his mail-chomping code a bit <br> more robust/tolerant...

Good idea! <br> <p>But I don't want the mBed exposed to the elements - so I think I'll <br> put it inside a rain-proof plastic box (Fererro Roche?). Maybe elastic <br> bands to keep the lid on when cycling. <br> <p>Oh - and I should get a Zero-Insertion-Force socket for the mBed so I <br> can mount it to some breakboard. Breadboard seems a little too big ..

I'll be coming! <br> <p>Still working on my cycling computer. I want to play with the new mBed <br> timer API and logging data to RAM, and then downloading it to my PC <br> for graphing. If this is as striaght forward as I hope it will be, I <br> then want to play with battery-backup of the mBed's RAM so I can <br> download my log at leisure (i.e. every few days).

Just realised the Sat 22nd is this weekend! Time flies... <br> <p>Hopefully people are still up for SHDC! Please confirm to me if you <br> are coming, and perhaps post an idea of what you might be up to if you <br> know. <br> <p>I think i'll be pimping a big trak, and maybe seeing if an old bike <br> frame is capable of being rescued.
