Whoever has any SFVLUG specific images, could you upload them to the wiki, and add a page that links to them all? It would be nice to have some media that we can stamp out if we need it.

Dualdflipflop: /* The List */

Finding things in plain sight.

=Here We Go=

==OKAY DUALD, WHAT'S WITH THIS ONE?==

This is simple... While out and about, sometimes we see cool technology in use. Instead of passing it by, why not explore it a little? In doing so, why not take some pictures, ask people what it's all about, find information online, and all of that.

===What's to expect?===

Nothing much really, if anyone see's something cool, and decides to take some notes down, photograph it, do a little research, why not post it up for others to see. Really what this is, is just some more content to generate. I don't expect any participation, seeming how this is rediculous, but if you're interested in adding to this, do so. If you need help, ask me.

===Should you care?===

Not really... This is yet another distraction from responsibility for me. Take what you like from this, perhaps it will inspire you to go looking for cool technology in plain sight. Otherwise, this is yet another one of my pointless additions to this site.

No laws where broken while acquiring any of this data... hopefully.

Railfone

Some Amtrak train cars are equipped with Railfone, an onboard cellular payphone service
permitting you to make private calls at your convenience.

About Railfone:

Available on many short- to medium-distance routes, and on a few long-distance routes

* Requires payment by a major credit card
* Does not accept coins or bills
* Rates are much higher than regular payphone and cell phone rates
* As with cell phones, your call may be interrupted, requiring you to call your party
again to reconnect

TTY Service with a Railfone

Any Railfone that is located close to an electrical outlet can be hooked up to portable
text telephones (TTY), supplied by the passenger.

Callers can also use the Relay Service; the phone number for this service is displayed
on the poster next to the Railfone.

=PIZZA HUT'S POINT OF SALE=

==Information==

I didn't get much of a chance to look too deeply into these systems, the employee who let me look at this stuff did give some information as to what the system does. But there really isn't much to it, just another point of sale system. The only thing that caught my eye was the dumb terminals.

[http://www.pizzahut.com Pizza Hut]

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_sale Point of Sale]

[http://www.mepis.org/node/9126 Has anyone seen any of these]

===More Notes===

Here are some notes that my buddy W32.Noob.Worm added to the mix:

The Pizza Huts around hear run on SCO-UNIX for the FMS (field management system your picture pizzahut00.jpg) which controls start/end of day,the orders on the terminals and a variety of other back office functions. They are standardized on Dell gx260 or 270's, they have a mirrored 80BG array, a perle card and if I remember right 512 MB RAM. Supported by Wincor-Nixdorf,GMBH.

I have never seen any that run Linux, maybe out there in California, but I'd be surprised. SCO kinda has them locked in. Perhaps there is a difference between the franchisees and the corporate sites. I only service the franchisees.

The QSR (can't remember the acronym) runs Windows 2000 professional,on a Beetle/s manufactured and supported by Wincor-Nixdorf (they are really easy to work on,but they are notorious for issues with heat and the primary ide controller,and the Toshiba hdd's laptop hdd's btw)

Pizza Hut is a wholly owned subsidiary of YUM,Inc. or Yum foods.

They also own Pepsi, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Burger King and a few others.
[[image:pizzahut02.jpg|thumb|]]

They use Cisco 2950 switches, Bektel line sharing processors and a couple other items. I have their base images,as well as all their cold spare hardware in climate controlled storage off site. The only thing I don't keep is the touch screens, which interestingly enough aren't at the site you photographed at all.

=LOS ANGELES COUNTY METRO=

==Information==

This is a ticket machine found at a stop on the orange line bus route. Apparently the MTA employee who was present at the time had quite a bit of information, even mentioned that it was running Windows XP. The busses themselves emit an 802.11 wireless signal which will be examined further at a later time. Each bus also has monitors with local news information and weather statistics in both English and Spanish. How convenient.

=LIGHT POLE DEVICE=

==Information==

I found this back in high school, I don't know where I dug up these pictures. The device has weather proof casing and an ~800MHz (approximate) band antenna under it. I've heard plenty of wild ideas about what this does, however nobody can come up with an absolute answer. I have seen devices such as this on many light poles before, this one was the only one that really caught my attention because of its size and disputed function.

==Information==

This is found every few hundred feet whenever there is optical cable underground. It basically says that if you start digging around the area, you may cut off emergency phone systems (not to mention the rest of the trunk), and warranted as a criminal activity.

MTA

=LOS ANGELES COUNTY METRO=

==Information==

This is a ticket machine found at a stop on the orange line bus route. Apparently the MTA employee who was present at the time had quite a bit of information, even mentioned that it was running Windows XP. The busses themselves emit an 802.11 wireless signal which will be examined further at a later time. Each bus also has monitors with local news information and weather statistics in both English and Spanish. How convenient.

This isn't all that special, however I still thought it was fun to have a picture of an elite Disney guest locker. Sorry about the fuzzy photo, it wasn't my camera.

Light Pole

=LIGHT POLE DEVICE=

==Information==

I found this back in high school, I don't know where I dug up these pictures. The device has weather proof casing and an ~800MHz (approximate) band antenna under it. I've heard plenty of wild ideas about what this does, however nobody can come up with an absolute answer. I have seen devices such as this on many light poles before, this one was the only one that really caught my attention because of its size and disputed function.

Finding things in plain sight.

=Here We Go=

==OKAY DUALD, WHAT'S WITH THIS ONE?==

This is simple... While out and about, sometimes we see cool technology in use. Instead of passing it by, why not explore it a little? In doing so, why not take some pictures, ask people what it's all about, find information online, and all of that.

===What's to expect?===

Nothing much really, if anyone see's something cool, and decides to take some notes down, photograph it, do a little research, why not post it up for others to see. Really what this is, is just some more content to generate. I don't expect any participation, seeming how this is rediculous, but if you're interested in adding to this, do so. If you need help, ask me.

===Should you care?===

Not really... This is yet another distraction from responsibility for me. Take what you like from this, perhaps it will inspire you to go looking for cool technology in plain sight. Otherwise, this is yet another one of my pointless additions to this site.

No laws where broken while acquiring any of this data... hopefully.

=Welcome to the SFVLUG project page.=
[[Psyche Project]] - go there right away for info on our golden oldie hit at previous SCALE events. Currently there are several projects and proposed projects. All recent efforts involve either Asterisk, the open source telephony solution or our [[Psyche Project]] for SCALE.

Here is a last minute idea we might do for the next [[SCALE]] in Feburary. For more info on the [[SCALE]] event itself and how to purchase tickets please visit:<br>
