<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Rich,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm sorry I can't make the meeting on
the 10th, but I'm very interested in your IPAQ for the Blind project. If
you could send me any information you have as far as language, database,
ports requirements, etc. I would appreciate it. I've done some work
in the '90s with a blind person who ran a snackbar, he's retired now, but
the POS system was a super fun project. I've loaded ubuntu onto an
old Compaq server & that's about the extent of my training so far.
I plan to make it my linux/perl learning machine. Please keep
me in mind if you have anything a perl/linux noobie might be able to handle.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks,</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Hello GRLUG members,</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Thought I'd give you all a heads-up. I've
already RSVP'd with Casey. I'm planning to bring with me an IPAQ
computer(Celeron 500 or P3-733 with 128meg ram), that we have configured
to boot off of CD running Geexbox Linux. The solution is designed
to be as hands-off as possible for use by those with vision impairments.
The PC connects over the internet to an audio stream provided by </font><a href=http://www.thesightseer.org/><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial"><u>http://www.thesightseer.org</u></font></a><font size=2 face="Arial">
an organization that provides a reading service to the blind and physically
handicapped. It's a non-profit and runs soley on donations -- there
are no commericals in the broadcasts. They've been broadcasting on
a side-channel to fixed frequency radios in the past, but also now provide
an audio stream on the web. If you go to their web page and click
on their icon it should spawn a player for the stream.</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Right now, the CDRom based solution works,
but I may need the group's help in making a hard drive based solution viable
as well, since CDRom drives for IPAQs are somewhat difficult to obtain,
cost being the most difficult hurdle. I can explain at the meeting
what we know so far and what we want to accomplish. The solution
has been promoted to several Lion's Clubs already so we're really excited
to be making Linux an integral part of the solution. :)</font>
<br><font size=3> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Looking forward to seeing you all there!</font>
