Leisure and Lifestyle Manager.
The University Leisure and Lifestyle Manager, (ULL), is software
that will work on a smartphone or handheld computer.It provides help
for students choosing text books and feedback on their essays.It also
helps them get home from the pub if they get too drunk to make it
under their own steam.The prototype program is the work of three
technology students competing in a national competition in the U.K,
organised by Microsoft.One of the team members is Mr Andrew Grieve, a
computing science undergraduate at the University of Aberdeen.His
favourite feature is "Take Me Home, I'm Drunk." It sends a message to
a local taxi firm, detailing the address where the student can be
found and their home address.Other features of the program includes a
buddy list that can pinpoint a friend's exact geographical location
and translation services for foreign students the BBC reports.

'chum' to help students
[Smart Mobs]
This sounds totally coolio. It's a great example of what I
call "activity based software" - which Clay called 'situated
software. Maybe it's really situated activity based
software.
Whatever you call it - it's the future.

Merging To Form Pervasive Networks in
Homes and Offices, Says INSIGHT Research
12/22/2004 01:46 AMPervasive networks—a ubiquitous “fabric” of computing, information,
entertainment, and telemetry capability tied together by high-speed
wired and wireless networks—are emerging from a flurry of new
communication technologies now being used in home and office networks.
Though communications carriers do not offer this type of continuous
communication as a service today, the piece parts are already in
place. [PRWEB Dec 20, 2004]

06/17/2005 04:45 PMGridlogix, Inc., a leading creator of enabling interoperable XML Web
Services technology today announced enhanced support for Dust
Networks’ SmartMesh™ wireless sensor network. SmartMesh is a wireless
mesh sensor network used in remote monitoring and control. The
Gridlogix EnNET® XML Web Service application extends the functionality
of the SmartMesh system to include robust protocol translation between
the wireless mesh network and other automation protocols and systems.
EnNET translates the SmartMesh wireless protocol into BACnet/IP, SNMP,
and LonWorks® allowing Dust Networks’ wireless sensor network to be
seamlessly integrated with existing automation networks. [PRWEB Jun

How to Pay for Municipal Networks
How to Pay for Municipal Networks
09/21/2004 02:46 PMSome municipalities may have already learned some lessons about
offering telecom services that they can consider when deciding to
build Wi-Fi networks: Some of the most successful municipal offerings
of wired telecom services started out with small trial networks and
were offered by municipalities that already offer utility services to
customers. But beyond whether a municipality has experience with
billing and marketing a service, Wi-Fi presents a bunch of additional
uncertainties. In the wired example, in many cases the market doesn't
have any other option for broadband Internet access and customers
definitely pay for the access. In the case of Wi-Fi, in many cases
other service providers may already offer wireless access. Plus,
cities have to decide whether they want to offer access for free or
for a fee. If they want to deliver free networks, they have to decide
how to fund it, considering both the initial outlay and ongoing
support costs. Ultimately, citizens of communities may end up
deciding. In St. Cloud, Fla., the city is trying to decide how to pay
for the ongoing maintenance of the network and will likely ask
residents to decide on a ballot referendum. If municipalities decide
to ask residents to pay for access, they have to hope they can cover
their costs. At this stage in the market, based on the experiences of
commercial Wi-Fi providers, it's not clear that an operator can make
money from for-fee networks....

How Many Social Networks Is Too Many?
How Many Social Networks Is Too Many?
11/14/2003 02:29 AMI keep reading about all these "social networking software" plays, and
the amazing thing to me is that, unlike during the last bubble,
everyone except people working for these companies
or
venture capitalists seem to know it's a bubble. Yet, they keep on
coming. The latest is that
Evite has launched their own version of Friendster
tied to their event organizing system, and eMode (known for their fun
tests and dating system) has changed their name to Tickle, which is
what their Friendster wannabe is called. They also bought another
social networking service, to take one of about 100 off the market.
Who the hell signs up for all of these systems?
Paten
ts aside, there is
nothing complicated in creating such a
site (there's even one Friendster rip off
called Yet Another Friendster Rip Off). The
complication comes in actually making money from such a site. The odd
thing, though, is the rampant skepticism about these sites. In the
90s bubble years, it was never like this. Sure, there was some
skepticism, but not the near universal skepticism that is focused on
social software space right now. What's funny is that you would think
so much skepticism would make the VCs stay away, but the reverse is
happening.

09/20/2004 05:07 PMFor quite some time, we've been hearing various stories about "smart
dust" with most of the talk coming from Dust Networks. After all
this time, they've
finally launched a product. It's clearly nowhere near the "smart
dust" level yet, but looks to be a wireless mesh networking technology
for letting a variety of sensors communicate easily, without killing
batteries too quickly. Still, it's a big step forward for the space,
meaning we should expect plenty of gushing news stories about the
technology in the near future.

Look Out Airport Networks...
11/18/2003 09:04 PMJetBlue Airways is offering free Wi-Fi to folks hanging out in its
departure gates in Terminal 6 in New York's JFK Airport: The airline
also offers the free Wi-Fi in its hub, the LA/Long Beach airport. If
more airlines start doing this, it will be interesting to watch what
happens to the companies that are already offering fee-based services
in airports. That seems to be a big business, with hotspot providers
signing exclusive deals with airports. I wonder what sort of rights
airlines have to build Wi-Fi networks in the gates they often use.
Glenn has heard from some folks in the industry that airports are
starting to assert rights to spectrum that they previously left alone,
or encoding these rights in new contracts as airline leases expire....

Zombie Networks for Rent
07/07/2004 04:31 PM Home PCs rented out in sabotage
racket: This is just hideous. Now they have "zombie brokers" that
will rent you a zombie network
they've created.
Vast networks of home computers are being rented out without their
owners' knowledge to spammers, fraudsters and digital saboteurs,
security experts say.
The terminals have been infected by a computer virus, turning them
into "zombies" — slaves to the commands of a malicious and
unseen controller.
For more information on what they're doing with these machines, see
