Last Week

This has been our first week here at the HIT in Assen. We're working on a project called "Sunspots's; What Else?!". Our main goal is to develop a system in which a "client-SunSpot" can communicate with a set up Main-SunSpot. This Main-sunspot will be able to detect a client-SunSpot when it enters the room. Each client-sunspot will have a profile in which the main-sunspot can find it's interests and then offer the client-sunspot software based on these interests.

Here's a picture of a sunspot. On the left is a sunspot on which a lcd has been mounted, on the right a standard Sun-Spot. This week we have been playing around a little with these SunSpot's. Reading lot's of documentation and writing and installing our first program. It turned out to be quite easy. Johan has been working on our action plan and we had our first meeting with our awarding authority.

Our room
We are stationed in the Sun Microsystems Inspiration Lab (Sorry Hans). Below you'll find a picture. We all have fast pc's with at least two 26" monitors. But, most important, we've got ourselfs our own Puc(Similar to a Philips Senseo)
