I met with Lorcan today and he went through the hardware I'll be using. This was definately a big help and I've gotten my head around how it all connects together and how it works. Also met with Lucy Dunne today, an expert in wearable computing, whoi will a great help with the circuitry involved. Will be meeting with Lorcan again next week to do a bit of soldering. Will post more detail on this later...!
I took home a Gumstix today with a serial lead and power plug, so can connect it to my pc and have some fun learning about it. Its basically a fully functioning mini computer running Linux. Very cool. This one is connected to a wireless expansion board. Also took an RFID card reader and some RFID tags, but wont be working with these just yet.
Had another look into thr RSS problem but could'nt find anything related to it. Submitted a query / bug report so hopefully we will get some more on this soon.

Might be worth posting an image of the gumstix in its new case? Put a post up later when you get the gumstix connected. I'd be very interested to see how you get on (I believe Caitie is reading the blog now too so that would be interesting for her).
