Presence status

Every phone (should) have a unique MAC address. When you connect to a WiFi AP, such as the one at Fixme, it can see which people are connected thanks to their MACs. The geniuses at southhackton, (who 'warned' us about our vulnerable octoprint :) have figured out, that by linking your phone's MAC address with your IRL name, it is possible to easily tell who is currently at the hackerspace. Through a simple IRC command, you can find out the members who are currently at the hackerspace, without requiring any additional effort. Plus, as a bonus, we can see if any 'neighbours' connect to our WiFi when we're not at the hackerspace ;).

The best part is, unlike other solutions, this one is entirely optional - if you do not want other people to know that you're in the hackerspace, you do not need to connect to Fixme's WiFi.

Goal

 * Use simple perl backend to run IRC bot, which pulls MACs every minute from router/AP
