   What are some good inexpensive places online to buy parts? Breadboards, resistors and stuff?

   Hello

   I live in Brooklyn and am interested in obtaining a Ham license, and am wondering if you all are having any courses/classes to that effect.

   Thanx
   Karl

   Like most linux users, I loaded Simple
   Message System on my Diecimila, then got
   frustrated with instructions to use stty
   then screen. So I wrote some shellscripts.

   My script package provides full IO & PWM
   control. AD is scaled to milliVolts and
   formatted for import to most spreadsheets.
   Run ‘wget http://207.14.167.161/SMS1.tgz‘
   to get the tarfile. Not 24/7,it only works
   when my PC is booted, so keep trying. Thanx.

   Hello there NYResistor!

   I noticed your worthy use of CamBam for cutting Space Invaders out of foam. I approve!

   I have finally got my act together and have released an enhanced commercial version. I am still going to maintain and improve the free one.

   I would be delighted to send you a free user key for NYResistor to use. It’s a lot more fun to use than the free one and should get better as the year progresses.

   I’ve updated the CamBam website and documentation so you should also find it easier to find help! I’m adding new documentation daily at the moment.
   http://www.cambam.co.uk

   If you can give me an email address I will generate a key for you.

   Regards

   How about using a large office building at night to show a game of life display using the lights in the office? Where can people get those shirts with the resistors logo?

   your site looks refreshingly fantastic, but I cannot see over half of it because of all the FLASH and Youtube! crap you are using. I wonder if some of you might consider, when you post a movie, to post it as an .avi that everyone can play in mplayer instead of this proprietary AOLeet garbage, so that I will feel less left out through valuing my freedom.

   happy hacking!

    Hey guys
    How’s it going?
    I Met you all at Dorkbot last month and i’m on your mailing list. I have a lot of computer and tech related stuff in my loft that i need to get rid of and i’d like to contribute it all to nyc resistor. mobos, processors, drives, cases, nic cards, scanners, sound cards etc I have a rental van today and tomorrow and i’d like to drive it all over. I emailed your contact address but please email me back spliffrd@inch.com today or call me/txt me 917 579 6708. I’m sure you guys can use this stuff, split it up among everyone and make projects. I just have no room for it since i’m moving to my girlfriends house.
    get back to me ok?
    cheers

    I wish I had a group like this in the Boston area.

    I have posted this question to the hacker space effort in Kansas City and looking for comments based on your experience: Does joining a hacker space mean committing career suicide? http://tinyurl.com/698f4n

    As a New Yorker who is currently living in exile in PA, I am wondering if there is any possibility that you might video some of your classes (arduino, processing etc) and post them online for those of us living in areas where there are no nearby Hacker collectives. I took a GREAT class at the Hacktory in Philly (highly recommended) but it is tough making that kind of commute on a regular basis. Judging from some of the other posts (Boston, Connecticut etc) there are others who would benefit and a reasonable donation for access to the videos (CDs?) should not be overly burdensome. Thanks.
