h1. Wiki Hakkavélin Printer: [[HP-LaserJet-6P]] h2. Old projects h3. IBM pSeries We have two old IBM pSeries servers that need to be set up / hacked to obey our will. Baldur has discussed using a BSD on them and they can be our shell server. some information on the "hardware":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellistation#IntelliStation_POWER_275 It contains a "POWER4+":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POWER4%2B#POWER4.2B chip which supports a variety of operating systems. Some additional links here "ibm info":http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/intellistation/power/hardware/275/index.html "tidbits on running AIX":https://sites.google.com/site/rhdisk0/unix/aix/aixhw h3. Ion Lifters lets make some "ion lifters":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Instructable and video: http://www.instructables.com/id/High-Voltage-Lifter-Ionocraft/?ALLSTEPS h3. Moss graffiti QR Codes using the idea of moss graffiti, we can use these to try to make scannable QR codes, perhaps to lat/long co-ordinates as a scavenger hunt or geo-caching. "make article":http://blog.makezine.com/2012/03/14/how-to-moss-graffiti-2/ "popular mechanics article":http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/how-to-plans/woodworking/step-by-step-guides-offbeat-diy-projects-6 h3. NTP GPS setup We plan on setting up a NTP server, with a GPS uplink. h3. RC Toys We have members with different RC (Remote Controlled) Toys, such as Helicopters, Racecars etc. We need to have more fun with them :) h3. Ripe atlas Project We've received a Ripe Atlas Probe. It sends regular measurements back to RIPE a European IP Network association or RIR (regional internet registry). The probe is a small ethernet device powered by USB. It sends back regular pings to RIPE network. It transmits this information over tcp port 443 outgoing. Mostly it conducts DNS queries, traceroute's and Round trip timing. Every moment we have the probe connected we are earning credit that can be spent on asking other probes in the network to conduct specific tests we order. Therefore if you notice the probe is unplugged please let someone in hakkavelin know. The login information for the atlas project is stored in the browser on the laptop nearest the probe.
