I spent 2 hours this morning troubleshooting networking issues with a Kit at the Maple City Health Clinic…just to switch flash drives and find out it some sort of issue with the old flash drive. Grrrrrrr. In RedPost/OpenSource news, we (FINALLY!) are almost ready to upload a new version that will have DHCP support, use [...]
It’s actually a shorter version of the review from Believe the Lie, but look, it’s Cassie (the model in the photo, also RedPost’s operations manager)! She’s famous!
My favorite part of the review: The RedPost/Kit is truly the first commercially available digital picture frame I have seen that is comfortably nestled between a hacker’s project and something you’d get from Target for grandma. That is, it’s the perfect unit for weekend geek who wants a bit of refinement in his or her [...]
I’m in Canada (Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario) for a wedding today. The Canadian dollar’s on parity with the U.S. dollar for the first time in about 30 years, so they’re feeling pretty good about themselves up here and my U.S. dollar doesn’t go nearly as far as it did 5 years ago.

From John Mishler, Master Sculptor: I have chosen entry #3 submitted by Anthony Showalter of echoing green. I spent time last night again going over all the entries and I am glad that I did. At first I didn’t realize that entry # 3 was to be mounted to an table which makes the piece [...]
A quick update on our contest: despite a short delay (sorry about that), the winner will be announced either later tonight or tomorrow…

If the word “samba” doesn’t mean anything to you, don’t read this post, it will bore you. If you’re trying to get remote samba working on your RedPost/Kit, than this post is for you! In the first release of RedPost/OpenSource, the modified DamnSmallLinux running on every Kit, there was an option to load images from [...]
