User:NeoAmsterdam/Notes to Self

• A temping recipe for booting Plan 9 (and the evidence to prove it's possible)
• Radio streaming? (transmitting from "...somewhere in the mesh"?)
• Rebuild Mini vMac (multiple drives, 576x448 or 1184x900 screen, max speed by default; X11 v. GTK builds)
• Write a "hack ~/.sugar/default/config" note (builds before 852; after ~/.gconf/desktop.sugar/user/%gconf.xml)
• Write the "Add a drop of Wine/Who'd-a-thunk-it?" (or "How to shut up the bad-mouthing and make them take the XO seriously") note
• Screenshots gallery ("Drop of Wine", activity "oops"s, )
  • yum gnome-utils, but it doesn't work with certain apps running.
• SOS/Post-catastrophe app (how to fit a collaborative documentation effort into ≤512MB? or make it decentralized?)
  1. Each XO gathers info, establishes pt-2-pt comm links with nearest 2 neighbors (min. for msg. relay)
     • Is there a way to make long-distance multi-node pt-2-pt contact?
  2. Once a relief center shows up (w/ hard drives), acts as XS/server - XOs spot it in the mesh (?) or by mesh-relay and U/L upon discovery (deltas thereafter)
     • But how long until relief shows up? How much data captured in that time?
  3. Comms are transient (vid/pic/voice), but written info (chat/DIY wiki) would need context awareness - geo/GPS, people/relations, needed items, status (Injured/killed/infirm)
  • Caveat emptor: Batteries might drain before relief arrives, and there might not be any power source.
