This is my latest artwork:

Mobile work-place ;) Freerunner beeing charged from a modified USB hub using 5 AA batteries.

Full keyboard, mouse and external HDD connected!

Internet access wia UMTS dongle.

A special holder places the FR into a reflection-free angle.

Note the TUX penguin, that I have manually glued on the 'Windows-Keys'!

I have bridged the output power supply of the USB slots in the USB hub back to the 'input' line (where the FR plugs in). With a manual switch I can turn on/off this power feed. This might be some good lock that the good piece didn't blow off - it's a 20EUR DLINK hub.

The power supply are 5 AA NiMH accus, which deliver around 6.5V when fully charged. This is about the same voltage the comes from the external AC/DC power plug.

Midori is nice...

...but not a full usable browser. And loading pages over cellphone network is pretty slow. Therefore I use a ssh tunnel to a X-server at home and look at it via vnc. You need either a static IP address or a dyndns account as below.

at home:

vncserver :30 -depth 24 -geometry 1280x1024
DISPLAY=:30 firefox &

on the FR in a first shell:

 ssh -L5930:localhost:5930 myaddress.dyndns.org

and in a second shell:

vncviewer localhost:30
