COKE-machines on InterNet!?

[Casper Baghuis]

Earlier someone mentioned COKE machines that are connected to InterNet. Who
can tell me more about these machines or other unusual connections to this
Net?

There are several Coke machines on the Internet:
e.g.

finger co...@faraday.ece.cmu.edu

finger co...@g.gp.cs.cmu.edu

finger dr...@csh.rit.edu

finger co...@cs.wisc.edu

All of these have been around for some time, and are now "Tired"
compared with the "Wired", most novel / useless thing connected to the
Internet: the University of Cambridge Coffee machine

You can get a JPEG compressed image of the filter coffee jug
(and judge how full or empty it is) by making a World Wide Web connection
through Cello or Mosaic:

co...@cs.cmu.edu usually works, but seems to be down right now. I'm not
sure what the connection method is, all I know is that there's a small
grey wire (looks like telephone cable) coming out of the machine, and
that there is no noticable hardware (read: its all really small) inside
the machine. Yes, I go to CMU, and am a CS student.

and the only one that performs as advertised is dr...@drink.csh.rit.edu

does anyone have a more recent or accurate list? Coke machines may be tired to
us, but are still very effective in frying the synapses of net.newbies at my
school.

and whne you clikc on the icon it takes the current frame
converts it to a jpeg and then sends it to you
