The eureka effect (Greek: heurēka, "I have found") is any sudden unexpected discovery, or the sudden realization of the solution to a problem, resulting in a eureka moment (the moment of unexpected discovery),[1][2] also dubbed as "breakthrough thinking".[3] The eureka effect is also known as the aha phenomenon,[4] and it is similar to an epiphany. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka_effect
Before we start to put online the heavy stuff, I thought this is more appropriate. This is one the first times we saw eBrainPool working. Working till late, one of those un-earthly hour things. What you see above is the mesh (olsrd) running and the machines auto-detecting each other, through their individual wirless cards (Ad-Hoc mode). This was one of those moments when years of hard work and belief transformed into reality. The moment you realise, Wicked! this thing works.
Below is a pic of the ebrainpool client itself. What you see is a list of applications on the device named 'Jatins WhiteKnight'. This is the client running on my machine, which does not have these applications. With eBrain (and Jeetu's generosity to allow me to share his applications) I can use them.

Yes a definite sense of achievement when we saw this actually work. Erle was luckier since he could play with it on both his blonde Sony Vaio running Debian unstable and his net book running Moblin and in true ad-hoc wireless mode, the way we had envisioned it. Most of my coding at this point had been using my desktop and my Sony Vaio both running debian stable but connected together with a cross over ethernet cable. I still remember the envy I had when he yelled late in the night...IT WORKS!!! :)
What you see in these pictures is the fantastic community driven Olsr mesh networking daemon (www.olsrd.org) running in debug mode and spewing out info as to what devices it sees and routes to those devices. Some devices may be in direct radio range (1-hop) devices, others may not be directly within range but there may be a series of devices in between - the olsr daemon sets up routes such that a message can transfer from each of these devices ultimately reaching the destination.
For the client as seen in the picture, we've used Clutter along with Netbook Toolkit (NBTK).
