Well, now you know!
At the AUUG conf dinner we submitted guesses for how many smarties were in the jar, and the winner got to keep not just the smarties (yay!) but also the funky little Yawarra net4801 Soekris-based computer that was running the wireless network at the conference!
Paul McGowan, the Yawarra head honcho, is a really interesting guy with some cool ideas about using data collected from in-car devices for a whole bunch of different purposes: lowering insurance premiums, providing detailed traffic flow analysis, reporting crash data, and lots of fun things like that.
Personally I can think of a thousand things to use that little box for!
