Free WiFi turns coffee-shack into
freelancer It Spot 12/18/2003 10:31 AM
Interesting piece about a Dallas coffee-hut that added free WiFi and now finds itself playing host to a slew of Cheers-like regulars, freelance workers who hang out and use the shop as their office.

``You get all the colds ... you have to be able to work through loud noise, you have to be able to focus and tune out even more so than in an office,'' he said. ``Babies are one of the biggest hazards. The screaming child at the table next to you ... you don't get that at work.''

As a person who spends hours each day at a coffeehouse, Smith is always mindful of the fact that he is in someone else's place of business. He doesn't go behind the counter to help himself to a refill, even though he knows where everything is as well as any employee, and he always dresses nicely as if he were going into the office -- albeit a casual one.

Free open WiFi on Tacoma-Washington

Free open WiFi on Tacoma-Washington
train, courtesy WiFi hacker 03/24/2005 08:15 PM
Cory Doctorow: A Seattle wireless hacker rides a commuter train from Tacoma every day with a battery-powered WiFi hotspot in his backpack that's linked up to the Internet with a 14.4 144k wireless modem. Catch his train and get free WiFi on your commute.

The open wireless node can be found in the first car of the last morning train and in Car 403 on the 5:10pm return trip. Use SSID "FreeInternetAccess" or "seattlewireless" to connect - You may have to assign yourself an IP in the range 192.168.0.0/24 and use the Default Gateway 192.168.0.1 as the DHCP is sometimes flakey

Bootable WinXP CD or DVD

Bootable WinXP CD or DVD 03/17/2005 03:08 AM
We all have heard of the linux distributions that could be booted from a CD, now we can do the same thing with Windows. It's called BartPE (BART Pre-installed Enviroment). It will give you a complete Win32 environment with network support, a graphical user interface (800x600) and FAT/NTFS/CDFS filesystem support. Very handy for burn-in testing systems with no OS, rescuing files to a network share, virus scan and much more. It runs on Windows 2000/XP/2003/BartPE. It does not run on Windows NT4/ME/9x.

Here's a little caveat from the website.. "PE Builder is not a Microsoft product and does not create Microsoft Windows Pre-installation Environment ("WinPE"). Using PE Builder does not grant you a license to Microsoft WinPE or to use the Windows XP or Server 2003 binaries in a manner other than stated in the End-User License Agreement included in your version of Microsoft Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. Microsoft has not reviewed or tested PE Builder and does not endorse its use."

This week’s How to from Engadget is a handy one for the Mac folks out there who want to run multiple operating systems, but not install them to their hard drive, all using an iPod as a bootable FireWire drive. They also cover ways to simply back up your home directory (or anything else to your iPod) which can be handy too, and even used in conjunction with this how-to. Still no word on where Apple's "Home on iPod" is.

Slipstreaming is usually done on network shares on corporate systems. But with the advent of CD burners, it does actually make some sense for the home user or small business user to do the same.

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy 07/16/2004 04:50 PM
A few weeks ago I got Chrisalis Developemnt's WiFi Seeker, a convenient keychain-sized wireless network locator. Marware's recently announced WiFi Spy is a rebranded version of the same device, so it should perform identically.

To locate a wireless network simply press the button and watch the LEDs. When the lights stop sweeping back and forth, the number that remain lit will show the strength of the wireless signal. If the lights continue to sweep back and forth, you're not in range for any wireless network. Unlike other devices, the WiFi Seeker isn't fooled by other 2.5 GHz signals like microwave ovens or cordless phones, and it doesn't depend on 802.11 client activity to detect the access point. It detects both 802.11b and 802.11g.

Intelligence has, for many years, taken advantage of the human instinct for gossip; by collecting information that seems unremarkable at the time, collecting it together, and through massive human and computer effort turning the mass of information into coherent, organized data.

Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router,
Notebook Adapter, $20 Gift Certificate
for $88 08/04/2004 01:31 PM

Okay, this on is a little hard to follow, but it's worth it, so stick with me. Amazon has the Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G router (the one that runs Linux that you can flash with the magic firmware to make it do all sorts of interesting tricks) bundled with a Wireless-G notebook card for $108 (there's a "Better Together" link on the product page). If you buy both, you can use the $10 rebate on both to save $20, then go on to qualify for a $20 gift certificate on future Amazon shopping.

So basically you're getting a really nice, tinker-ready Wi-Fi router for $68 with free shipping. Not a bad deal at all, but if you still aren't seeing why this is a good deal, you probably wouldn't want one in the first place.
