This was just Ugly and I meeting at Nicks. We later drove to Apache Reclamation and browsed the place. Ugly bought a transformer (115V primary, 12,000V secondary). There was some really cool gear there.

This meeting took place at UAT. Nak and MadManX brought their cardreader devices and got them working at the meeting. Somebody else brought some embeded gear that they were trying to get to work. I brought my basic stamp with a combo blue/red/silver box programmed into it. After the meeting a few of us (Legitimate_User, Sgnome, Empty, and I) went to Subculture cafe to get something to eat.

I don’t remember a whole lot about this meeting. This meeting took place at Nicks Pizza. Rax gave RetroTech a server for the phx2600 PBX project, although retro has since pulled out of the project.

Our last meeting at Borders. ZEROcool brought his Xbox, we didn’t get the chance to softmod it due to Nicks not having the remote for their TV. Zapperlink brought his PSP with some more “updates” straight outa Japan. Rax brought hacker stickers in several languages. There was talk about defcon. We traveled over to Nicks pizza early. Jargon had a presentation on gambling. We tripped out w/3D glasses and an oldskool laptop. IamtheEvil1 rode on the mechanical horse for his B-day. What was left of us headed over to Counter Culture to chill for a little longer. What was left of that crowd (Zapperlink and I) went to IHOP.

2600 hangout (2550 meeting)- We met at nicks pizza. Some gear brought was a cable card, some shims, and a nice new bootable distro of WHAX. WHAX didn’t work to well on a sony laptop though. We “picked” a combo lock with the shim. Later on Ugly and I went wardriving to the Sonic Drive-ins, no luck though.

July 2005 Meeting History

We met in the back of Borders this time (we were on the schedule!). LosT brought his soldering station and some embedded network components to solder together, so we had a little soldering workshop. People that didn’t know how to solder, and wanted to know, knew by the time they left. We did some general talking about embedded systems and talked about Make magazine a little. There was talk about defcon 13. We later went to Nicks, surprisingly enough, I think the group got bigger when we met there. While at Nicks, Nak busted out his ham gear and evil1 and Nak were talking to random people the could find through the waves. We had some talk about the stumble upon toolbar. Lots of creative discussion about barcodes (later in the night). After a while, Nak came back around and we had some pre-4th of July celebrations with a block of sodium. Maybe next time: Soap in a microwave }:>

We are now getting to big for the Borders coffee shop; they want a group our size to be scheduled. So, we are going to get on the schedule. In this meeting we had a lot of gear donated to Zapperlink for a group community project: Making a emulated gaming system for a daycare. Rax did a presentation on a replacement OS for LinkSys WAP/Router. ZEROcool brought an ipod with Linux dual booted on it (it didn’t have sound support though, funny irony). Colin brought a super rugged lappy.

Retro brought a 286 lappy and hot glued some shinny stuff to it. Rax brought a mac with Tiger. Nak brought his ham gear and used the autopatch method to call my cell. LosT brought a bunch of embedded web server gear. Zaphraud brought his cantenna, made from a pringles can. I handed out a few vip 2.0 prototypes for people to test. After that, half of us went the Nicks Pizza and had a bite to eat.

April 2005 Meeting History

RetroTech brought his Tandy laptop, it had DOS 3.3 and only 7 files on the “storage” space (50K worth). The lappy boots up in less than 5 seconds though, the video should be up on the April 2005 pictures page. We fixed the power adapter by soldering it back together. I tried a floppy drive hardware hack, but screwed up, now retro has no floppy…sorry retro. Zapperlink brought a PSP and showed us a browser hack for it. Sgnome brought a huge antenna, there should be pictures of it. Nak and his buddies brought a ham radio. Also, greyarea was there, cool he could make it this time. Oh yeah, Zapperlinks daughter (Trinity) tried out picking locks…she’s not even 2 yet!…again, pictures on the picture section

March 2005 Meeting History
Posted by, XlogicX on March 4, 2005 at 8:13 pm
Fun meeting, probably the most disorganized yet too; we never really formed one big table together like we usually do. Rax brought knoppix through the looking glass edition (has it worked on anyones box yet?). I took my toasted netgear router, and I also brought some security screwdriver bits. Lockpicking was in fashion again, I guess this is just a phx2600 tradition; some hackers like dumpster diving, some hackers like phreaking, some hackers like trains for some reason…we still like all of that, but we really like picking locks.
Attendance count: About 15
