Steven launches a challenge to local hackers and their friends: Hack the new Linux-running, GPRS-networked parking meters.
Why?
1- Show that it can be done
2- Perhaps help improve the system
3- Perhaps send a message up: "hey, we KNOW you're screwing us"
4- because it's there... ;)
Michael, wanna help plug this? Put it out there see what happens...
Two very useful things I'd like to see come of this:
1- a java-based mobile app that would allow me to see which spots still "have time".
2- a web-based app that could remotely tell me the same (so I can be sitting in a meeting and check if my meter is up yet...)
