I've just subscribed to the wearables list (Ansel Sermersheim referred me to it during a discussion we had about the PLEB (which I'll come back to later in this post)), and I thought I'd introduce myself. My name's Alex Holden, I live in Burnley in the UK, and I'm a Linux freak (see web page for more details). Although my primary interests lie in the fields of robotics and space exploration, I am also interested in wearable computing, which is why I am here. Back to the PLEB. The PLEB (Currently Portable Linux Embedded Box, though the name may change soon) is a project I am working on in collaboration with a group of students at the University of New South Wales to produce a PDA-sized StrongArm SA1100 based motherboard capable of running Linux. Since the main members (and sponsors) of the project all have different ideas about what we want the board for (I want a robot controller, others want a PDA, someone else wants a realtime MP3 player, an amateur sattelite group are even interested in the possibility of using one as a sattelite controller...), it has been designed from the outset to be as versatile as possible. A wearable version is therefore a definite possibility. To get to the PLEB homepage, take the PLEB like from my page (listed in my .sig). Best wishes, Alex. --------------- Linux- the choice of a GNU generation. -------------- : Alex Holden (M1CJD)- Caver, Programmer, Land Rover nut, Radio Ham : -------------------- http://www.linuxhacker.org/ -------------------- -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.ml.org
