Hi I have only just started this and was wondering if anyone out
there knew of any open nodes in the Ipswich area in Suffolk UK ? I
have found 2 so far in Martlesham but have not had much luck in
Ipswich town. Joann
I
must presume, when looking at the prices for the 'Meshcube,' that
"199,90 EUR" really means about €200, not €20,000, because
as cool as a tiny, mesh network computer is, I don't think there's any
way I'd pay 20 large for one. Mesh networks are like generic WiFi
networks, except that as you continue to add nodes -- like the little
Meshcubes, for instance -- the network can expand out, without many of
the limitations of traditional wireless networks with repeaters. There
are other differences, too, but for now we can just enjoy a cute bug
computer with no moving parts, a 400MHz MIPS processor, and two WiFi
interfaces all crammed into a 7 x 5 x 7cm cube. Read

Ipswich 2-0 Millwall
Ipswich 2-0 Millwall09/12/2004 09:20 AM Late goals from Darren Bent and Pablo Counago send Ipswich top of the
Championship.
I just spent some time looking through my archives of a photo of
the nodes we had in my home on Potrero Hill. Murphy is preventing me
from showing you folks my nodes, but needless to say it was 1995-96
when we built them.
Here's Cory's post and then I'll tell yah all about my
nodes.....
This is pretty cool -- a prototype wallplate with three sockets, a
USB port and a hard-drive, for use as a home media appliance.
The original brief by ComCom was to
design a remote control. Thank Toshiko, he looked further than the
brief and designed a line of 22 integrated electronic products. One of
them is this wall mount triple socket. It has a USB port and a
built-in hard disk. You can store music and movies in it and send them
to other products in the same product line. The system will be shown
in October in ComCom's show apartment in Tokyo.
OK - back to me....
So I had 25 nodes in my home - each with:
- 2 Cat. 5 lines
- 2 phone lines
- 2 balanced line video feeds
- 4 balanced line audio feeds
- 1 analog conenctor (nine-pin DB-9)
- 20 amps of power
It all went to a patch bay in my basement where we could route
anything to anywhere - which included up on the front yard, side yard,
four locations in the back yard, the three porches and throughout the
home - including bathrooms and kitchen.
This is what our MediaBar location-based platform utilized.

My March
21 entry about upcoming.org turned out to be an odd juxtaposition
because, on the same day, a new events database called EVDB was announced and shown at PC
Forum. It's due out shortly in public beta but I haven't seen it, so
for now I only know what you can also learn from reading, among
others: Dan
Farber, Ross
Mayfield, Om Malik, David
Weinberger, and Paul
Kedrosky (whose recent archive is missing this morning, yikes).
The consensus seems to be that EVDB will be a Web-2.0-style,
Wiki-style, RSS-friendly, Flickr-and-del.icio.us-like thingy. Sounds
promising! I'll certainly check it out when it's public.

deterred open-source hackers, who have released a free software patch

Update: Andrew sez, "...it contains buffer overflow exploits that are wide open for hax0r5 to take
advantage of. In addition, it redirects weird URL requests to -it's
own website-."

Linux Sees Open Field for Open Source (washingtonpost.com)08/03/2004 10:28 AM washingtonpost.com - Plenty of tech experts have spent years trying to
convince the general public that the Linux operating system is
becoming more of a threat to Microsoft's Windows. With the LinuxWorld
conference underway this week in San Francisco, there is finally a
sure-fire sign that this may be the case: Microsoft won't be there.

Open source cracks publishing wide open06/17/2004 11:24 AM Once upon a time, publishing was the domain of large corporations.
Then came desktop publishing and the tools to produce a book shrank
from the cost of an aircraft carrier to the price tag of a PT boat.
Now, small publishers on the bleeding edge of technology are fomenting
a revolution that may change the publishing market forever. Open
source publishing tools, long derided as not being ready for battle,
are proving themselves in the trenches of small publishing.

Microsoft open to open source
Microsoft open to open source06/24/2004 12:49 PM Microsoft Corp. says it is looking to turn over more of its programs
to open-source software developers, playing a greater role in a
process that the Redmond company has criticized strongly at times in
the past.
Money-makers like the company's Windows operating system and Office
productivity suite aren't on the table -- or anywhere near it.
But the company has so far released two software-development tools to
the open-source community, and it wants to continue the practice, a
Microsoft platform manager told an industry group this week.

When Open Source doesn't open and source doesn't matter
When Open Source doesn't open and source doesn't matter07/20/2004 11:14 AM One frustration too many: time for a rant. When a bug in Mozilla
(keyboard focus is on the previously selected window) has remained
unfixed for at least 18 to 24 months, when XFree86 mouse interaction
with PS/2 or GPM remains hazardous and makes a system unusable and
that bug has been fobbed off to the kernel developers and not dealt
with for at least two years - when there are more examples like this
that make using Open Source software a pain, what do you do?
Are you one of the few people with the time and money and
expertise sufficient to delve into the source yourself to fix the
problem?
Do we have it "too good" and these niggles are, by comparison to
the rest of the world's computer users (Windows), absolute peanuts?
