[sudo-discuss] Pair programming station and caster callout

[Jake]

pair programming is a great way to learn and share computer skills.  It is 
best practiced at a desk where both people can see the same screen, and 
each other's face at the same time - and each person has their own 
keyboard and mouse.

as you can see here, I made a pair programming station (with help) for us:

it has everything it needs except for ONE MORE USB MOUSE so if you have an 
extra, bring it on.  ideally a matching DELL mouse.

also, it has a bad caster wheel on it, which looks like this:

this is a picture of the good one.  If you have a caster like this that is 
not broken, please bring it in and put it on the cart.

i'm trying to make it have wireless (it's a desktop computer right now) 
which means learning about openWRT, to make a wifi bridge to ethernet. 
That way wherever the cart is, it will have internet with spare ethernet 
ports, for your beaglebone or whatever you're hacking on to plug into.

but of course, you don't need to use the computer on the cart - you can 
plug the VGA cable into your laptop and the USB cable (one for both 
keyboards and mice) into your laptop, and use that.

the two monitors are hard-wired to a single VGA cable, and don't try to 
change it.  i had to make that cable.  and the screens are screwed down.

enjoy!
