Still Dependent on Independence Day


Still Dependent on Independence Day 07/03/2004 03:13 PM
Did you ever have one of those moments where you just wanted to haul out the old 12-gauge and blow grapefruit-sized holes through enything even remotely digital in sight? It happens all too often. If I could have found the shells before I cooled off… The bottom line is that my digital dreams of lying around on the porch entertained by streaming audio coming over the Wi-Fi airwaves went kaflooey in spectacular manner. It all started innocently enough when I got my hands on some money. I’d been planning this part of The Grand Upgrade for some time. I’d just go out and buy a Linksys broadband wireless router and a matching ‘.g’ card for my antiquated IBM Thinkpad and I’d be flying high. Right. First up was to get the router in place and running the part of the network that is to remain wired. That only took a 20 minute call to their tech support. Their people are rather obviously of Indian descent, but are capable people with a good deal of patience. I did my best to understand and together, we finally got the thing working. It wasn’t hard, but what I still fail to get is why neither the Quick Start manual nor the main manual had this set of instructions in them. Being quick on the trigger, I took notes on the provedure. I figured I’d better, since the sequence of steps took no logical sequence. Suddenly, it all clicked. I now had every system independently sucking down bytes from the Internet without the chance that taking one down would trash the others. Wonderful. Then I got stupid. Or optimistic, though the two are very close. I decided I’d try setting up the notebook card. Boom! Brick wall. File errors every time I went through the setup. Then I took a look in the Hardware Manager, since I had a good power light on the thing, just no ‘Link’ lights. More bad news- a yellow and black exclamation point. Further investigation revealed that “The device cannot be enabled because IRQ Steering is not enabled on this machine” or words to that effect. Worse yet, the message encouraged me to change the settings in the “machine BIOS” in order to enable IRQ Steering. Since the machine is old enough that it originally came with Windows 95, I leave it to you to guess how effective that would be. Oops, sorry, last BIOS update released by Big Blue was in 1998 and had been in place for quite some time. Another call to the good offshore folks showed me that without IRQ steering, there just wasn’t going to be any fun stuff like a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. End of story. So, the card was reluctantly returned to the retail wonderland it came from and I gave up (for now) on my digital dream. Some day when I get the needed cash and there isn’t any domestic disaster lurking in the wings, I’ll do what I need to, which is to ditch the old clunker and buy a newer old clunker that can support my need for surfing. So ends the tale of failed Independence for Independence day.

For a team of collaborators, Groove synchronizes both the sets of applications available in a given context (or "shared space") and the data written by those applications. If you drop your laptop on the floor you can effortlessly recover everything into a fresh instance of Groove on a new machine.

Of course this works only for native Groove apps. Browser history and bookmarks, Outlook settings, and a million other things are handled in a million other ways -- or not handled at all -- because desktop operating systems aren't Groove. A general solution would require OSs that work like Groove, and applications that send messages rather than write files. Well, come to think of it, why not? [Full story at InfoWorld.com]

    the declaration of independence, the
    constitution, and now this: yet another
    inspiration from philadelphia
    09/03/2004 09:26 PM
    Philadelphia is considering adding WiFi boxes to all street lights, making the whole city WiFi alive. What I like best about this idea is how the link to street lights suggests how we should think about this resource: (1) Is it free? No, just as street lighting costs money, it will cost money to put Wifi boxes on street lighting. (2) Is it free. Yes, like lighted streets, and air conditioned city hall, you won't have to pay to enjoy the resource. (3) So it is free and not free: yes, as all great public resources are. And as with all great public resources, this will benefit Philadelphia in ways we cannot begin to imagine. Let the city provide a platform, and watch the entrepreneurs find a million ways to make it valuable. Did anyone have any clue about all the ways the GPS would be used once Ronald Reagan set it free?
