Today saw the second Sun@Strathclyde OSUM tech demo of 2009, this time about Sun SPOTs. We had a lower turnout than last time around, which is a shame, because those who did come along seemed to enjoy the demo. It was certainly fun getting some audience members up to throw a SunSPOT around between each other while I graphed the accelerometer data on my laptop (and I think they enjoyed the free t-shirts too!).
Sadly, the videos I took today haven't turned out well; I had hoped to be able to share them online, but my camera decided it didn't want to play ball. The fact that Jason wasn't around to play cameraman didn't help (he was away seeing a lawyer about sorting his US taxes out or something - can't see how that's more important than helping out at my demos, but there you go :-D ).
There seemed to be a fair bit of interest in the tech from the CES students who arrived in the room for a tutorial afterwards, so if there are more people who'd like to see this talk given again, I'd be happy to oblige. Just get in touch - preferably through the OSUM website ;-) - and I'll see what can be done!
My next demo is an introduction to OpenSolaris - Sun's free-to-download open-source operating system. As always, it's next Friday at 1pm in room M4.09 (the James Weir Building). See you there!
