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..."

      To understand the concept, you should think of "free" as in ``free speech,'' not as in "free beer.'' ;-)

    Just give it a few weeks for someone to come out with a GPLed cola drink. Of course, if it was running KDE, there would probably be a Koke module, embarrassingly similar to the proprietary original but with one little niggle spoiling the overall experience. And of course there would be a GNOME equivalent, gnoke, which would be pretty, indefinitely customisable, but terminally slow.
