well, my electronics/engineering skills are somewhat (understatement)
lacking these days, but always interested and i bet a few others
probably are.

i suspect a few of the bristol folk have a connection with HP, etc,
already spotted one.  at one point did some cool stuff with linux
appliances (laugh!) and this came about http://www.mobilebristol.org/
later on

tangent: was definitely cool.  recently, got hold of one of these kits
on advice from someone who was local to cardiff:
http://www.touchatag.com  - haven't had a proper play with it yet as
i've been doing other things, but the stuff being done with them is
barmy and they were only a tenner or so for a week.

would. like. to. see. other. projects. ;-)

also interested in other stuff - arts, etc.  well, a strong interest
shall we say.

i guess the lack of response might indicate it's dooooomed to failure
:-) if not enough interest, we could pop along to the bristol one (?).
train / car / etc.
