U-Roy Barazani uwuhlobo oluyivelakancane lomuntu engifuna ukuhlangana naye mathupha futhi ngihalalisele ngombono wakhe womkhiqizo okhaliphile. Umkhiqizo wakhe, Ama-OFFBITS, iwumugqa wamarobhothi anomthombo ovulekile okhuthaza abasebenzisi ukuthi bengeze ezabo izingxenye zehadiwe ezithuthukisiwe.
Ekuqaleni yakhelwe ngezingcezu nezingcezu “ezingasetshenziswa nezingathandwa”, amakhithi 'yokuzakhela wena' anganwetshwa, aklanywe kabusha futhi ahlelwe kabusha ngokusekelwe kunoma iyiphi ingxenye yezingxenyekazi zekhompyutha umsebenzisi angase abe nayo.
Kunjalo, into emnandi njengalawa marobhothi ama-upcycled afanelwe okwawo okwasemuva, futhi - futhi u-Barazani ulethile:
“AMA-OFFBITS ayedingisiwe eplanethini yawo yasekhaya - iPlanethi Bot, ngemva kokungasebenzi kahle okungaqondakali kwawanika abantu abanobuqili nabadalwe ngendlela emangalisayo - okubangele izimbungulu ezinkulu ku-algorythm enkulu yePlanethi yesithukuthezi esiphelele.
I-BigBot, umbusi owesabekayo we-Planet Bot wahlakaza zonke OKUNGEZESIFUNDAZWE futhi zaphonswa emgqonyeni omkhulu wokugaywa kabusha kwekusasa…Okuvele kwaba yingosi yomhlaba kanye neminwe yakhona eminingi ekhencezayo…”
Sibe nethuba lokuthintana noBarazani ukuze sithole kabanzi mayelana nokuthi lo mbono uvelaphi nokuthi uhambe kanjani ekuthuthukiseni umqondo ube umkhiqizo osebenzisekayo.
I-SS: Uvelaphi umqondo we-OFFBITS ekuqaleni?
Barazani: Ngicabanga ukuthi bengilokhu ngiwuthanda umqondo wokuklama kabusha. Ngisho ngiseyingane ngangivame ukuhlephula amathoyizi ami ngizame ukuwakha kabusha ngezindlela ezintsha nezihlukile. Uma ngibheka emuva, lokhu kwangivumela ukuba ngithuthukise umcabango wami nekhono lami lokuphupha.
I-OFFBITS iqale ekudlaleni ngezingxenye ezingahleliwe engizithole ebhokisini lami lamathuluzi ngenkathi ngisebenza umsebenzi ngaphambi kokuqala izifundo zami zokuklama ekolishi. Kusenjalo ngathola ukuthi ngenze irobhothi elincane! Ngagcina lo mbono kimi phakathi nezifundo zami, futhi ngomsebenzi wami wokugcina ngakha idolobha lonke elakhiwe ngezinsimbi ezigaywe kabusha. Kwamukelwe kahle impela futhi ngangazi ukuthi nginombono omuhle ezandleni zami. Kuthathe iminyaka embalwa yokuthuthukiswa nokuhlolwa emicimbini ye-Maker Faire nezitolo ze-boutique design futhi manje ngizizwa ekugcineni ziwulungele umhlaba.
I-SS: Ucabanga ukuthi kungani bobabili izingane kanye nabantu abadala sebevele bekhangwe IMITHETHO?
Barazani: Ngibona i-OFFBITS njengendlela entsha yokudlala ngamathoyizi, inkundla “yomthombo ovulekile” engenamithetho ukuze indalo ngayinye ihluke njengaleyo eyakhile - ngiyayithanda indlela abantu abangathatha ngayo idizayini yokuqala bese benza. into ehluke ngokuphelele. Futhi, iqiniso ukuthi lenziwe ngezinto esinazo sonke ezisizungezile kusho ukuthi azikho izindleko noma imingcele yokutholakala kulokho abantu abangakwenza ngazo - esikhundleni sokulinda nje amakhithi sikhuthaza abalandeli bethu nabalandeli be-KickStarter ukuthi baqale okudaliwe futhi wabelane ngakho nathi kanye nawo wonke umphakathi osafufusa we-OFFBITS Creators.
I-SS: Yiziphi ezinye zezici eziyinselele kakhulu zokuletha umqondo esigabeni somkhiqizo othuthukisiwe?
Barazani: Ngokombono wokuklama, ukusebenza ngezingxenye zehadiwe ezijwayelekile kulethe izinselele eziningi eziyingqayizivele. Isibonelo, ukukhetha inhlanganisela efanele yamabhithi kukhithi (kokubili ngokusebenza nangobuhle) kudinga umsebenzi omningi wohlobo lwesivivinyo nephutha, bese kuba nenkinga yokuxhuma izingxenye ebezingaklanyelwe ukuthi zilingane – Ngiyaziqhenya ngokukhethekile ngezixhumi ezenziwe ngokwezifiso esiqhamuke nazo! Kodwa inselele enkulu isekhona: ukukhuthaza umphakathi ozibandakanyayo owakhayo, owabelanayo futhi okhuthaza abanye abantu (kanye nathi!) ukuthi benze okufanayo. Lesi ngesinye sezizathu esenze sanquma ukwethula ku-KickStarter - umphakathi wabantu abasanda kuqala abathintekayo abazimisele ukwabelana ngempendulo yabo futhi ubambe iqhaza ekudaleni okuthile okusha nokubalulekile.
Okunye okuthokozisayo kwezengezo esikwenzile esizukulwaneni esisha se-OFFBITS kits esiyethula ngalo mkhankaso “Amaphekhi Esandiso Sezimoto” akuvumela ukuthi uqhamuke nama-contraption anamasondo ahlanyayo. Nginamathisele ukuhlola kuqala kwamanye amamodeli asathuthukiswa!
I-SS: Bewuyini umgomo wakho womklamo we-OFFBITS?
Barazani: Umgomo wami oyisiqondiso kumklamo we-OFFBITS uwukunamathela ngangokunokwenzeka ezingxenyeni zangempela kanye nokusebenza kwazo ukuze ngiwugcine njengomqondo “womthombo ovulekile” noma ubani angabamba iqhaza kuwo, ngakho-ke lapho ngisebenzela umklamo omusha ngizohlala ngizama hamba uye lapho izingxenye zihlangana khona kalula ngokuklama. Kuhlale kumangalisa ngempela kimi ukuthi ungathatha kanjani into yansuku zonke njengentongomane elula, kodwa-ke ngokuyipenda nokuyibeka ekupheleni kwentwasahlobo ngokuzumayo iguqula ngempela ibe "unyawo" "emlenzeni"! Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi kuba nenhlanganisela eyinselele engiyifuna ngempela kukhithi, bese ngiqala ukuhlola ukuthi kungenzeka yini ukudizayina kabusha izingxenye ngokusebenzisa amathuluzi, ukubaza, noma ngisho nokwakha isixhumi esingokwezifiso esenzelwe inhloso - bese kuthi Yebo kufanele ngicabange ngamafomu amasha kanye nezindlela zokudala ngawo.
I-SS: Ungasitshela okwengeziwe mayelana nezici ze-nitty-gritty zenqubo yokuklama?
Barazani: Umsebenzi omningi wokuklama uyisitayela esidala se-hand-on prototyping - ngakho-ke okumele ngikwenze ukuya ezitolo ze-hardware zendawo ukuze uthole izingxenye ezibukekayo ezithakazelisayo, bese ngiqala ukudlala! Kodwa uma sekunomqondo opholile esifuna ukuqhubekela nawo phambili, kuyasiza ukuya kudijithali (nge-photoshop, i-autocad, ukuphrinta kwe-3d, njll.) lapho amafomu angashintshwa, axutshwe, futhi afaniswe ngaphambi kokukhiqizwa. Nakuba inselele enkulu ngaso sonke isikhathi iwukuveza amathuba amaningi omklamo wezingxenye kuyilapho uhlala uthembekile ngangokunokwenzeka efomini nasekusebenzeni kwasekuqaleni, ukusuka ku-prototype kuye kumkhiqizo oqediwe kungaba yinto ekhohlisayo nakanjani - ngokwesibonelo, njengoba sisebenzisa izinto eziningi ezahlukene. ngamapulangwe amaningi ahlukene (kusuka ensimbi engagqwali kuya kupulasitiki we-ABS), ukuwapenda wonke ngendlela efanayo kwaba buhlungu ekuqaleni... kahle.
Nakuba ngokubonga kakade sebexhaswe ngemali, i-Barazani kanye nalo lonke ithimba le-OFFBITS okwamanje basalelwe izinsuku ezingaphansi kwezintathu ukuthi bangene emkhankasweni wabo we-Kickstarter - ngakho-ke hamba uzitholele owakho! Nakuba kunezinketho ezahlukene ze-OFFBITS Starter Kit, ungakwazi ithole esitezi esiphansi ngama- $18 kuphela.
