Still Dependent on Independence Day
Still Dependent on Independence Day
07/03/2004 03:13 PMDid 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

09/03/2004 09:26 PMPhiladelphia 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.
