hush hush unfinished madness

Well, I think we all have these kind of weekends, maybe it’s even where weekends are for… doing stuff without actually getting somewhere… ^_^ Somehow I try to use every free hour I’ve got to spend on current projects but well… a lot of things take a lot more time than expected and so, at sundaynight I find myself with a lot of unfinished stuff… I did make quite a lot of progress though, but I couldn’t really finish anything in particular… so… no finished projects at this time… but I can give a glimpse of the stuff I’m working on… ^_^

These first few pics are from a project of which I can’t give all the details (yet) but think of something like an ultimate wardrive-box and you’ll be very close… also think six wireless interfaces ^_^

...which made me make this… six wireless routers to mimic a typical big city environment.

This is the device in the flesh! Now, before you start thinking I handsoldered this, I didn’t! You can get this kind of hardware ready-made and it’s lovely hardware! Only thing is, the plans I’ve got with it take quite some time on the software side (for a change!) *^_^*

Now I might’ve finished all this if this one particular person hadn’t emailed me so much! *^_^* But I enjoy the mails and replying to them and waiting for replies on my replies way too much so I guess I’ve only got myself to blame for that… (y’all know what I’m talking about right?)

uhu *^_^*

...one more thing

Next to all that, I’ve got some obligations of course. I’ve been promising a whole lot in this youtube-vid and I’m working hard to make it all work out…

...So, does anyone have a wild guess what this is? *^_^*

(and no, I don’t have a prize for those who know!)

Now, this will still take quite an amount of time, but… I guess I can say ‘we’re getting there!’

getting where? well, to the end of my weekend, how’s that for starters? *^_^*

    ITS THE AWAITED CFcard to Ipod Converter!!!



  3. hinf @ 15 May 2007, 11:54 :

    nice that you are going to release your design under creative commons, even if not, it would be just a matter of time until they were sold on ebay for € 5,99. shipping from hongkong not included :-)

    I think CC licence doesn’t allow hongkong firm to sell that.

    non-commercial!

    i was gonna say that it looked like that nifty cfcard to iPod coverter, but someone beat me to it ;)



  6. leo @ 17 May 2007, 15:43 :

  9. thaskef @ 25 May 2007, 19:21 :

    I might have found a CF adaptor that would work (I know how unlikely that is, but could you please check it out?):

  10. thaskef @ 25 May 2007, 19:30 :

    PS- ... what’s the deal with the white power input thingie on the right side? would that pose a big complication?



  11. yjay @ 27 May 2007, 17:21 :

    hee thaskef, that’s the other way round. from 1.8 to CF, what geektech made is CF to 1.8 ;-)

    the adaptor is still available on the market.



  13. markie @ 27 May 2007, 17:35 :

    hey guys,

    neither of those are the right ones. This is now going on for months, people trying to find the adapter which I’m trying to produce…

    I do appreciate the effort of you guys, but really, these adapters have all been posted in the other thread too (including this last one) and neither of those are the one I’m making. It could very well be that it exists, but chances are quite slim, cause I guess a whole lot of people have been searching for them by now. So, if they do exist, the company who’s making them probably has the worst marketing ever, if dozens of people can’t find it in two months time…

    Please, have a little patience and the right adapter will be there, all right? ;-)



  14. Isaac Gomez @ 18 June 2007, 10:47 :

    any updates on the adapter thingy??



  15. koos groot @ 19 June 2007, 00:19 :

    Je komt wel heel dicht in de buurt , is ie al in produktie? In de tussentijd staat m’n ipod al een tijdje stil, enig tijdspad?
