Linux-powered Mobile Cocktail Mixer

Posted by michael on from the apt-get-install-rum dept.

weissi writes "You remember the slashdot.org story Linux-based Bar-Monkey? We found it pretty cool, but it has/had problems: definitely too big, and no plans and no source were available. That's why we decided to build our own Linux powered mobile cocktail mixer. Enjoy it..."

  1. Humm, where are the ingredients? by Almost-Retired · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I find it a bit odd that in all the pix on the so-called construction page, not one of them shows a closeup of the pumps or any containers for the ingredients.

    Methings we've been trolled.

  2. Re:GPL Violation? by Fjornir · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ugh. Obv-troll, but to combat FUD I would like to point out that there is, in fact, no violation here. Source need not accompany bins. A promise of source disclosure fulfills term 3 part (b) of the GPL. They don't even need to disclose the source until someone requests it, and then they don't need to make it available online -- they could ship it on CD or floppy if they were so inclined.

    I want a new world. I think this one is broken.
  3. Barmonkey by DakotaK · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I prefered the Barmonkey to this by far. This site seems to just link to Barmonkey, say "we liked it but did it different. Please look at us." Barmonkey went into a lot more detail on what parts in specific that they used, took a lot more/better pictures, and the whole shebang looked a lot better (IMO). As far as the source goes, the guy commented and said he'd send the source to anyone who wants it (I jumped on this and do have a copy of the source). This all said, both of the ideas are excellent. Wish I had the time and money to do it myself.
