Data filtration, centered on users A and B. In another graph (not pictured) nodes shared by both A and B will show to both users, thus drawing the users closer to each other when they share products, and providing distance between them when they do not share similarities.
w/smart chip, "break the glass" access w/audit trail, data resides online as well (no biggie if card lost), could be a sticker for the changing data on the back...

I need to write fun and accurate job descriptions. I fell into the lazy trap - write a corporate job description - and surprise... near zero applicants.
Time for a hack!
We're CSS/HTML'izing what you see above (complete with hand-written notes et al)... this is what folks will see when they go to the job posting.
Stay tuned. It should be CSS'ified by Monday.
Thanks to Paul for his neat handwriting and Mike for his CSS jedi skillz... Mike, Paul and I co-authored the hack.

I decide to integrate the master controller via a freeduino or arduino AVR board. Just now the master was maded via a FPGA DE1 board for test but this board is to big to use into the field. Because the slave software run now perfect on the freeduino board, I will now transfert the master controller also to the AVR software. But on the master controller I need a lot inputs and outputs. Therefore I use the serial option to drive the 2x16 char LCD display and a few leds. As input I read also via de SPI lines all the swithes, rotary encoder and dipswithes from the userinterface frontplate. The remote TX module RFM12B is again connected to the PORTC of the Freeduino board. On the PortB I have now 3 extra TTL flash outputs. So the master can drive also 3 direct flashes. There is also a X-sync input signal from the camera to drive the master controller and to generate the correct signals on the remote wireless RFM12B module. Into the next days/week I will give the results of this unit.
How this works, timings, slave version see:

Update 2009 Aug 15:
STK600 board is setup for the tests, a breadboard is ready for the LCD display, leds, encoder and RFM12B module. I write now first the LCD display software so that the parameters are show on the display. AVR controller is the Atmega168, 20 pins Dip version. CLK speed = 16Mhz external xtall.
Update 2009 Aug 18:
The hardware is ready on the breadboard together with the STK600 developement board. LCD display connected via the 2 x 74HC595 ICs works and also the leds. Data is diplayed on the LCD. The 3 local flash outputs on this master are also ready. The next days I will continue to put the RFM12B module as transmitter. Thereafter the tests will be done together with the slavemodules.
Update 2009 Aug 31:
The SC-27 TTL cables from Nikon just arrived this morning. A lot of extra other components will furnish tomorrow. Extra LCD displays, registors, connectors,swithes, plugs etc. End this month 10 extra Arduino boards and shields will be furnished. Time to plan how to build all this together. In the meantime I test the software on both sides (Master and Slave).
Update 2009 Sep 02:
Many components just arrived today. Extra LCD displays, connectors, switshes chips etc... I work on the software and most parts are working now. Into the next days I will connect the flashes via the SC-27 cables and test the flashes. 4 flashes on the slave and 3 flashes on the master are supported. The LCD display show the different powersettings, flash types and used channels. Once all this works, I have to build this into a nice box. At the end of this month, 10 extra Arduino boards and shields must be delivered and also 10 extra Atmega328P chips.
On an extra Arduino board I will drive 8 highpower leds just near the flashes to see into the dark. So just wait a few weeks for all this new tools....
Update 2009 Sep 04:
Master software is running now, LCD display show all this values. Powerlevel can be change on every flash but also on a groep flashes. Results stay on the LCD display. Every flash can be enabled or disabled. The groep offset value have now 6 steps. This mean, the steps are added to all the flashes levels into the groep. 2 different groeps are supported, one Master groep (4 flashes) and one Slave groep ( 3 flashes). But the number of flashes into each groep is a parameter into the software code. The number in now limited by the I/O pins on the Atmega168 or Atmega328p. Now the step change is near 0.3 EV. On each channel you can select the type flash connected at the output. So if you have a SB29S ringflash you just need to change the type for the connected channel on the display. All flashes are connected via a small type phone connector 3.5mm stereo on one side. The other side is the SC-27 Nikon connector. I just divide every SC-27 cable in 2 parts. So now I have 6 cable to connect 6 Nikon flashes.
Now I have to build this hole Master into a nice small box. The display works on 5V, the other chips are running on 3.3V. Power will be delivered via a small 9V NIMH battery.
The next task is now to test the previous build Slave unit via the RFM12B modules. Software on both sides are ready for test now.
Update: 2009 Sep 05
I found a nice box 150x80x46mm to put all the components. Just started to mount all the parts into the box. Shema is now drawing again to be inline with the unit into the box. 4xAA batteries stay into the bottom of the box and give 5.25V for the LCD display. A 3.3V voltage regulator make the 3.3V for the Atmega328, the serial devices and RFM12B module. Into a few days I will show new photos of this unit. Sofware is running now and the flashes can be full programmed in TTL mode at any powerlevel. On the Atmega168 I need only 1844 bytes of program space. No need for any interrupt routine. Resolution for the flash timing is 2 usec. All flashes are fired central to the reference timing of the flash with the highest power, so this give really the best results for veryhigh speed captions. The remote flashes are also centrered with the master flashes. In total 7 flashes can be connected to one master and one Slave unit.
Update 2009 Sep 07:
Shema and layout are ready. Time to wire the PCB and put it into the box. Shema and layout stay here:

Anirudh Sharma is being plugged in! Anirudh loves Human Computer Interaction (HCI) especially multitouch and tabletop displays. He started Team Sparsh in College (Sparsh means 'touch' in Hindi). His team has been covered widely in the print and web media. Check out the sparsh wall vimeo.com/5255765. Anirudh is a contributor to the NUIGroup and Mozilla Labs For community core-vision, and for Fennec's interface. Here's a news-report on his work with his team, in the Times of India: timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/Bikaner-students-...
Anirudh is also the key-person to get me to come to ECB. It's because of him I got invited to deliver talks at Rajasthan’s largest and most prestigious engineering college which is spread across 337 acres: the Engineering College of Bikaner (ECB) www.ecb.ac.in/.
ECB has around 6,000 students enrolled on its campus, out of which around 2,500 alone are in IT and Computer Science courses.
Delivered two talks on Linux and Free & Open Source Software (FOSS): ‘How to Avoid the Axe Effect’; and ‘How to Make a Dent in the Universe’. The talks were delivered at the ‘FOSS GN09 event’ which was cleverly dove-tailed with the college’s yearly techfest mega-event, called ‘Sakshama’. An ancient Sanskrit word, ‘Sakshama’ means ‘skilled; competent; adept’. The 2009 incarnation of the event, held from 28th to 31st October, was called ‘Sakshama GN09’, to highlight ‘Generation Next’. www.sakshama.org.
And what a Generation Next! They also sought my help and mentoring in launching their own on-campus Linux Users Group (LUG), www.lugb.in. Am quite impressed with their active mailing-lists and outreach activities. These guys and gals are rocking! Together with its founders, we launched LUG-Bikaner at the ‘Sakshama GN09’ event-night, on an outdoor stage in front of an audience of over 2,500.
ECB has around 1,200 computers on-campus, and with the personal laptops and desktops of students, totals at around 4,000 PCs. Till date, LUG-Bikaner has migrated over 500 computers to Linux, and still counting. Plus, they also reach out to other colleges and institutions within Rajasthan to spread the awareness of this ‘muft and mukt’ vision of computing. After all, who can understand freedom better than the royal state of Rajasthan in India?
We've learned a bunch about the art of marking pain by going through this exercise.

1. It's way too Juhan-centric. Uggh, my mug shot... but it's been public released.
2. We'll upload comps/pix/service screenshots to the ODG flickr site (and not link to my set).
3. We're adding two things: 1) our real-time RescueTime dashboards (for 4 of us) so folks can see what we're actually spending time doing in front of the machine and 2) the Open Design Manifesto.
4. Links to sourceforge/code repos, presentations, and patents coming soon.
Suggestions, ideas? Pee away!
Fucking England. Why can't we sell all our transport infrastructure to the French?
An inch of snow and the entire transport network in the south-east collapses into anarchy.
That said, this really is the best piece of UI design I've ever seen. It's Transport for London's real-time tube map and all the lines are greyed out, unless there's a problem, when they show up in their normal colour.
It's perfect, because anyone who uses London's transport enough to check how fucked it is can just glance at it for a moment and see whether or not their journey is gonna be like this morning's or not.
Love it.
Except this morning.
