Forum is Up

PHP BB LogoOk, the phpBB forum is up and running.  It’s still ugly but it should be functional.  I believe I have wordpress login integration working.  So if you have an account with the blog it should create an account automatically for you in phpBB.  Eventually I will create a full style to support complete integration but for now it should work.  Please post any topic ideas and suggestions in the forum or as comments to this post.

Update: Do to low traffic this board has been shut down.

SVN Updated

DrinkShield Board Layout

I’ve added the Eagle source files for both the board and schematic to Google Code for the DrinkShield.  I also uploaded the uber-alpha version of the

DrinkDuino Game.  It is playable but a lot of graphics still need to be worked on and I don’t have webcam support added yet.  But if you can’t wait to start playing go ahead and check it out.  Don’t forget you can also code your own apps!  Checkout the Coding Reference to get started.

I am also working on setting up a phpbb forum to discuss new designs, game updates, etc.  I want to tie it into wordpress and skin it at least a bit.  So it may take a little longer but I will post an update once it is live.

Store is Open

Drink Shield

The Store is now officially opened.  Hopefully everything is working properly!  We also have DrinkSheilds!!  You can buy those as well as some other supplies in the store.  Also if you stop by the Cincinnati Hackerspace Hive13 when I’m there I can sell you one as well.  I also plan on being at the Ohio Linux Fest and will be sharing a table with DualCore.  I will have Drink Shields and Hive13 T-shirts on sale at the vendor table.

New DrinkShield Kits have arrived!!

The first batch of DrinkShield boards showed up on my doorstep last night. We will be assembling a few kits and will start working on tutorials and preparing for classes. Once the online store is fully tested we will start selling there as well.

Hive13 Shirts

Just in time for the Hive13 One Year Anniversary party!  GfxHax has some nice swag that was originally designed for some upcoming conferences but we put in a rush order and had a batch made for the party!  Very excited about the new designs.  The designs fall under the creative commons license and the original SVG will soon be posted to their own site.  This way you can download the images, use them as backgrounds, make changes or just silk screen your own t-shirts.

Hope to see everybody at the party!

New Look

Work in ProgressWe are trying out our new look!  We dove back into the CSS mix and hopefully this time the look will work across more browsers and interfaces.  This has been tested with most of the Open Source browsers with different resolutions and it seems to hold up fairly well.  My apologies if it doesn’t work with IE or some other proprietary web browser.  There still maybe some issues so please report any problems to craig@gfxhax.com.

We will be working on getting the code repositories up as soon as possible.  The storefront is still under heavy construction.

Private beta for a Maker account will be opening in the next few weeks.  Check your email for registration information.
