Next meeting: January 8, 2010

Hello hackers! Our fearless founder Sandy has moved back to the mainland, where he'll probably stay for at least a year or two. For now, I've taken over updating this blog.

First order of business for 2010: the first Friday in January is also the first day in January. And being New Years Day, the mall is probably closed.

So, at the December meeting we decided to bump this one back to the second Friday: January 8th. We don't really have a specific agenda planned out, but we'll probably be talking about shiny new tech stuff and fixing broken old stuff. If you're coming for the first time, we'll be the ones at the food court with laptops and random electronics all over the table.

In the meantime, the Winter issue might be released before this meeting (or on the same day). If you want to keep an eye on it, I recommend subscribing to the rss feed at 2600.com.

Dec Meeting

Was awesome. Topics discussed included:

• Implications of Google's DNS
• Homopolar motors
• Neodymium magnets and their relationship with the hard drive industry
• Attempted and successfull unbricking of a linksys wrt wifi router.

Aloha.

October meeting

October's meeting went well. 7 members total, up from 5 last month and the 3 the previous. Going strong.

Discussed power inverters, boot CDs, WiFi, 3rd party firmware for WiFi routers and others.

August Meeting

We met once again at the fabolous Prince Kuhio food court for fine dining and discussion.

I put flyers in Summer issue of 2600. Hopefully September's meeting will draw a few new people. If you came here because of that flyer you're invited to join us next month. Please post here with any questions you have.

We'll be easy to spot as we're likely the only ones to bring laptops to the mall on a Friday night.

July Meeting

July's meeting saw tight discussion about netbooks, usb drives, Windows 7, WiFi secruity.

Looking forward to this Friday's August meeting, hope to see everyone there!

June Meeting

A small and short meeting, two of us attending

Discussed Google's Wave, Bing, and Storage Prices.

March meeting

We had a successful Febraury meeting with one new person joining. Talked about installing Ubuntu on an older Dell Inspiron.

March's meeting also a success. Talked about full disk encryption, hollowing books, hax5.com, stackoverflow.com, 2600 hard cover, netbooks, kismet, WEP cracking and finding a job.

January meeting

I am contiuing to meet in the food court in Prince Kuhio plaza near the arcade. 

Also we're listed in the 2600 meeting list. Hopefully that'll help bring in a few more people to February's meeting.

Happy new year.
