Schools out for the time. SO yah, at the church right now, and I am leaving to a camp up in the mountians. Don’t have school monday, and am coming back MOnday afternnoon. Last night I sent my PowerBook in for repair. See you all Monday.
I just stopped in the Apple Store in Aspen Grove, Littleton, CO. I am typing on the Apple PowerMac G5 right now! They arrived today.
They are quite fast, box is pretty big though but looks really cool. If I notice anything real cool… I’ll update.
This is a message concerning wireless technology I just posted to a mailing list I am a member of, thought most of you would enjoy.
Check out Personal Telco.
They are making their own hot-spots like T-Mobile and such. They even off the same type of software T-Mobile and Hotels use, you can make people click an “I agree” page or such before network access it turned on. You can filter traffic and bottle the speeds. It also allows groups so you can give your friends user/pass to login and they have no cap on bandwidth, while any one off the street has a cap. (And you can have an owner user/pass with full rights.)
It is a great project, and I hope with the technology becoming cheap, and people understanding it better, some real cool solutions can arise.
If you want to learn more, start by watching Seattle Wireless’s show with the creator of NoCat and the Cantenna.

I am discussing with 2 of my friends to make some cantenna’s and setup 2, 1-mile connections between our homes. One part of the fun of such a network we were discussing is playing your XBox over the connection, as you do during a LAN game… Ok, I don’t have a gaming console, but if I did…

Another super busy day. I am just making it to bed. Was helping my brother pack up to leave tomorrow at 6 AM to go back to college. Well, I’ll try to find some time tomorrow in class to get this sucker up to date. Night.
