Update 10 april 2012

Since we have internet, we can now have updates! First step is the iBook G4 that runs a small Java IRC bot that can be controlled from the console by typing 'o' or 'c' (for 'open' and 'close'). It then updates the space status in the #nurds topic. Next step is a GUI (Swing).

Further steps may include:

• connect an Arduino to the iBook;
• connect a Big Red Button to the Arduino to control space status;
• LDR close to the fluorescent lighting connected to the Arduino;
• detection inside the lock connected to the Arduino;

Do we need more media? buZz mentioned something about a JSON on a public HTTP...
