03/24/2005 08:15 PMCory 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

Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy
Review: WiFi Seeker / WiFi Spy
07/16/2004 04:50 PMA 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.

01/18/2004 03:49 PMI've had a wonderful weekend. I've had time to watch four movies from
my "DVDs I am going to watch when I retire since I am never going
to have the time before that" -collection, I have eaten well,
slept - well - sufficiently, and still managed to tick off a few
"things to try before you die" -list and move them onto
"cool, I'll do that again" -list.
So, however, this evening, at a business dinner (don't ask: I know
it's Sunday) I make a complete fool of myself by showing up late
(darn). And not only that - my cough which I thought had already
vanished, decides to have its encore right at the same moment I have
introduced myself and am thirstily sipping from a glass of water. And
what an encore it was: in a surprising combination of sight and sound
the cough (with a mouthful of water) bursts out, spraying the water
across the table, completely surprising everyone. Including me.
The whole table stops, forks suspended midway between plate and mouth,
and I feel the cool and curious look of Japanese businessmen fixed on
my neck, as I try to hide and escape under the table. "Are you
ok?", I hear my boss ask faintly - and I stammer something in
reply that nearly, but not quite, sounds like "yes", cheeks
burning. Oh well, there goes my professional reputation...
I guess this is how the universe collects its debt on happiness. I
recall once, in a shower (I do a lot of my thinking in the shower), I
had a wonderful revelation. I don't recall what it was about anymore,
but it was a profound thing - enlightenment, you could say - and I was
so happy about it that the soap slipped from my hand and fell right
into the toilet. So I guess that was the more important lesson to be
learned of the two: close the lid before you shower.
Irony. The most common element in the universe. And what a wonderful
universe it is! ;-).

08/28/2004 08:52 PMDuring my home inspection they tested the air conditioner by turning
it on for about 10 seconds and then shutting it off. The inspectors
explained that they can't do much more than that in "cold" weather. So
I've always been wondering if it actually worked. Today I found out.
It was 90 degrees upstairs when I decided to shut the windows and kick
on the air conditioner, set at 72 degrees. I'm happy to report that
the place is cooling...

TopStyle 3.12 in the Works
03/14/2005 06:24 PMI hadn't planned to release a new version of TopStyle so soon after
coming out with versi
on 3.11, but I've decided that one is necessary to resolve a few
remaining bugs (including this
one).
It will be a few weeks before I'm ready to post a beta of TopStyle
3.12, so it's too early for me to state exactly what will be
in the new version. But among the other issues I'll address is the
oft-reported problem of Mozilla "swallowing" the focus away from
TopStyle's editor (describe
d here). Although this bug is actually in Mozilla rather than in
TopStyle itself, I'm assuming that it will never be corrected in
Mozilla (after all, the
Bugzilla report of this problem has existed for almost two years),
so I'm going to code a workaro
und in TopStyle.
The beta will be available only to existing TopStyle customers, and
will be announced here when it's ready.

I know this going to sound silly -- but now I **know** Feedster
works. A friend of mine just bought an iPod and they were asking
me about the FM radio adapter. I know I saw one talked about in
the blog-o-sphere recently so I ran a query for iPod and came up with the result. How damn cool. It
really is like searching either your short term memory or searching
conversations you just happened to listen in on.
A lot of times developers don't actually use the things they
build. Or use them peripherally at best. It really is cool
when they work and you have that "ah ha" moment.
