03/06/2004 01:49 AMThe Austin Chronicle takes a look at the Austin Wireless City
Project's initiatives around the SXSW music festival, which happens
next weekend: The project is offering free iTunes music to users of
the free hotspots set up by the project. In addition, the IC2
Institute, a research unit of the University of Texas, is making a
presentation during an Interactive Conference going on in conjunction
with the festival. The institute will talk about how everyday people
can benefit from connectivity. Howard Rheingold, who wrote Smart Mobs:
The Next Social Revolution, will also speak at the conference. Other
coverage of the Austin Wireless City Project's efforts include a story
written by its co-founder, Rich MacKinnon. He offers a really great
description of all the parties that benefit when a venue offers free
hotspots. He gives the example of a free hotspot at an Austin
restaurant and describes how a consultancy made money to install the
router, a printing company was paid to make new coasters touting the
free Wi-Fi, MacKinnon's company Less Networks pays a hosting facility
to support the hotspot and a PR firm is paid to promote the free
hotspots. He notes that even the big companies make money here,
including Kinko's which printed a new sign, CompUSA which sold the
access point, which was made by Buffalo, and SBC which provides the
DSL connection. The list actually goes on, offering a strong argument
for the business case behind free hotspots. [both links via Less

Austin Wireless City Announces PC Deal
04/09/2004 03:57 PMThe Austin Wireless City Project, which builds hotspots for local
venues free of charge, is talking about a deal it has with Image
Microsystems: Image Micro takes old computers that would otherwise be
headed for landfills and refurbishes them. It has donated 50 of the
computers to Austin Wireless City. After those 50 donated computers
are used, Image Micro will start loading Less Network's server
software onto the computers. Venues can buy the bundled hardware and
software, which serves as an AP, for $199. Previously, Austin Wireless
City loaded the software but this new development saves time for the
project, which already has a waiting list of 90 establishments hoping
to get hotspots....

the use of open source software in their day-to-day business.
According to a message posted this morning on the Austin LUG mailing

of the city's desktops will be migrating from Microsoft Office to

"If this was Jane Austen or Charles Dickens, there would be a
national outcry". Thousands of
perso
nal papers belonging to
Sherlock Holmes creator, Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle,
fetched $1.7 million at an auction Wednesday,
with many items sold to private U.S. collectors. The auction was
a great disappointment to scholars who had hoped the
papers would be donated to a public
institution. The archive also became entwined in a
mystery worthy of Conan Doyle's fictional detective:
the bizarre death of a
lead
ing Holmes scholar. Lancelyn Green, 50, was found dead in his bed
on March 27,
garroted with a shoelace tightened by a
wooden spoon, and surrounded by stuffed toys.

SXSW so far
SXSW so far
03/13/2003 10:22 AMAlthough the crowds seem smaller, or maybe there are just so many
film people around, SXSW is fun this year. My panel went ok today, and
I'm looking forward to relaxing the rest of my time here.
One thing has really been driven home by the availability and
ubiquity of hacking tools: the downside of wireless is (un)security.
I've been saying this since last year's E-Tech conference, but as long
as Apple is pimping their airports and the wonders of wireless they
really should have an "iSecure" app that makes ssh
tunneling painless and easy. A few months ago I spent an entire
saturday afternoon writing scripts to auto-login to my email server
through a tunnel, and that was just email. Secure web browsing is
something else entirely, and the services of things like anonymizer look
attractive as a total package (but they're still a pain in the
ass to setup).
Ideally, it should be entirely transparent, painless, and easy to
setup and use a secure tunnel. Apple could even tie a service into
their iTools accounts. I'd be happy to pay $50 a year for encrypted
email and web traffic (with an easy interface to establish the
connection).

to not get food poisoning and to be fully present at both the panels
I'm participating in (I was slated to do a keynote but got bumped by
Gladwell...whaddya gonna do?):
If you're at the conference, amble up and say hi...but be warned
that I might ask you for
money (not really, I'm just kidding [sadly, he's not just
kidding, but was about the Gladwell thing -ed]).

conjunction with SXSW, and there's a teriffic set of blog and other
social software panels and talks as
well. Joi Ito, our new VP of

SXSW: Blogging for Business
01/02/2004 10:48 AMBeing a homebody, I rarely attend conferences. But this year's SXSW Interactive Festival
is enough to get me out of the house. With panels by
well-known web luminaries such as Jeffrey Zeldman, Eric Meyer and
Douglas Bowman, SXSW promises to be a very informative event.
Oh, and I'm also going because I'll be among the panelists on the
"Blogging for Business" session :) I think the last
time I appeared in front a large crowd was when I was born, and I'm
hoping this will be slightly less traumatic for me.
