If you build it, they
will come!
Had enough talking? Come to the Garage.
|
The Garage is the geeks playground for
Kinnernet.
Workshops provide ideas for Garage hackings, so link from
relevant workshops to this page.
The garage is open all through
Kinnernet!

Kinnernet is the place and the audience is yours to forget about
that dead-line & your shareholders.
- Do you want to build, try and participate in:
Join in! We have a room in Ohalo to do cool things. Looking for ideas? Teaming up?
Can you bring tools & stuff?
Trash-based Boat Sailing
Photo taken at the Bezalel Low tech camp
at the dead sea, Dec 05
Ezri Tarazi, Nir Shntal, Eden Shochat
What to build? Sailing boats. Why to build? To
transfer data.
Bring
materials (!) 1.5l bottles, foam, sticks,
plastic hangers, newspapers, nylon paper binders, bring
gulf war nylon for sails, other ideas?
Friday: Kickoff - basic training (Ezri Tarazi) to introduce
materials and how to build a thing that floats
Saturday Morning: Sailboat improvements with
Nir Shental at
the Garage to get ready.
We will try the boats (the dataship
project!) at the Kinneret at the afternoon before the closing
session to transfer data as a replacement to underwater cables!
Who can bring materials and
tools?
Technicians:
Didi & Vladimir's Raft
To be built in the garage, and christened in the holy waters of
the Kinnernet during the dataship
event.
We'll be sailing it, so join in!
Make Ohad's
bullet-punctured laptop work again
They
shot my laptop but the bastards only got the fan and a few
wires.
Help me make this wonderful ThinkPad T43p work again :-)
It sort-of-boots but thats when things start getting
wrong, needs external screen.

Microcontrollers)

Overclock a PC and make it an
electric stove
Nimrod Lehavi and Guy Vardi will overclock a
PC. They will use the extra heat that
will be generated to cook an omelet during the
extravaganza.
Manipulate
sound and image through movement with
KEE
Shira - I'll hopefully
make it work by or while the camp :-D I'd like to work
out with people different outputs, meaning different
interpretations of this movement and form, composition wise: in
sound or in image.
people needed: programmers for
sound, graphics, video, games, (high to low level
programming), musicians, visual
artists
participants: shira, person
Stuff
people bring to the garage to
play with:
- Eden: Analog RF control + (very)
lightweight engine
- Nimrod: Stdring, trash bags, fiberglass rods X 5 (2 M).
- Sharon: 3-4 cold cathodes light, 2-3 133 ATA colored cables,
1-2 LED fans
- nimrodlehavi: not so working TV set, not so working MAC 21''

Hands-on
Cryptopgraphy
Who needs a computer,
anyway?
Learn how to encrypt visual
images in a way that the NSA can't break, but even a child can
decrypt without a computer! Perform perfectly secure voting using
PEZ candies! Solve a difficult romantic dilemma using a deck of
playing
cards!
We will begin with a brief
talk about the kind of cryptography you can do without a computer,
and their operating principles. We'll then have a hands-on session,
in which you'll create your own
cryptographic business card.
No prior knowledge
assumed.
Useful
preparation:
In the hands-on part, it is
recommended to prepare the graphics for your cryptographic business
card beforehand. The image needs to be black&white (1bpp), with
white features over a black background. Make any important features
(e.g., letter stems in text) at least 2 pixels wide. You can
prepare either a single image of size 72x40 (stay clear of the
center), or for a nicer effect, two different images of size 72x20
(stay clear of the bottom edge). Any simple image editor, such as
KDE KolourPaint or MS Paint, will suffice for this job. Send your
images in .BMP format to Elad, or bring them on a
USB memory stick. Examples: side1.bmp, side2.bmp, singleSide.bmp. Make sure
the image format is set to
black&white.
Needed
equipment:
Please contact Eran if you can bring any
of the
following:
- A big, strong magnifying
glass
- Viewgraph transparencies
projector
- Inkjet printer + ink (got these,
but a spare would be
great)
- Inkjet-printable transparencies
(likewise)
Cutting tools (sharp razors, cutting
boards)
Organized by Elad Barkan and Eran
Tromer.

Batya, can you help us?? |
Building a
computer from LEGO Logic
Gates
As Ohad, Eden, and Roostam suggested, I will try
to build a mechanical computer that uses Boolean gates for doing
simple mathematical addition of two binary numbers. I do not have
the solution yet but I hope it will be accomplished during the
camp.
You are more then welcomed to join
me.
I am bringing all the Technic Lego I have, If you
have some Technic Lego and you can bring it will be
helpful.
This is how a Lego NOR gate looks
like:

The Microsoft
Pinata™
!
Destroy the MS Pinata™ (blindfolded with a
broom) and release all the old MSDN discs inside on an unsuspecting
world.
Hosted by Ilan and Eden ; we will
bring the cloth pinata.
Everybody bring old Windows and
MSDN discs to fill (i'll bring some candy so something good will
come out of it...)
