Free Wi-Fi and Schlotsky's







Free Wi-Fi and Schlotsky's

Free Wi-Fi and Schlotsky's 02/18/2004 12:13 PM

Schlotzsky's Offers Free Wi-Fi in Restaurants in Six States; Free Use of In-Store Computers Adds to Wi-Fi Appeal: Free wi-fi is working well for Schlotsky's, apparently. No sign of Wi-Fi at the lone Schlotsky's in Sioux Falls, sadly.

More than 40 percent of customers say that free Wi-Fi or the free use of in-store computers are factors in choosing Schlotzsky's to dine, and six percent say that free Wi-Fi is the key reason they chose to come to Schlotzsky's restaurants that day.

Here's one thing I really like about Schlotsky's: they knew 90% of the world wouldn't be able to spell their domain name, so they raised a white flag and have branded their Web presence as www.cooldeli.com. Very practical solution.

David Weinberger points at the "Send Back Your MP3" site this morning.  I think this is just the thing for children of all ages - from eight to eighty - we can all start to feel better about ourselves by sending back our MP3s to the RIAA.  As for me, I prefer the hex dump, but you might want to save a tree in your neck of the woods and fax the data back electronically!  I know I have a fax program that doesn't require me to print out out hard copy before I fax.  Maybe you do too!

PHP: Free Software on Free Tools


PHP: Free Software on Free Tools 05/17/2004 10:25 AM

Open Source: Open Source Scripting Made Easy: This is an article about PHP scripting tools that makes an important point:

Commercial scripting languages have drawn success from powerful and widely used development tools: ASP has Visual Studio, ColdFusion has Macromedia's Dreamweaver, and JSP has a variety of tools from commercial sources such as Borland and open source projects such as Eclipse and NetBeans. PHP's enormous success, however, is not tied to specific tools.

Some friends of mine have been working with Microsoft's .Net platform. They tell me it's amazing ("fan-friggin'-tastic," one of them called it). This is great, but I guess I don't like anything where the barrier to entry is so high — first you have to have a Windows server, then you have to have the Windows dev environment.

I code PHP in EditPlus, which cost me all of $30, and that was an optional purchase because there are so many other free alternatives. Maybe I'm just a snob. Via PHP|Architect.

How Free is Free Republic? 12/30/2003 01:11 AM
Free Republic is an online story and discussion site similar to Kuro5hin.org, but with an explicitly conservative bias. The site proclaims itself to be "an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web." Intrigued, I proceeded to offer some comments to stories there, addressing some factual errors and dissenting with some conservative views. The result was a quick lesson in the right-wing view of free expression. The experiment left an open question - where do you go on the web to engage conservatives in open debate? Where is the right-wing version of k5?

Free pizza, or at least the hope of free
pizza


Free pizza, or at least the hope of free
pizza
03/14/2005 04:38 PM
College kids these days have lots of things we didn’t have when I was in college—computers, the web, iPods, massive credit card debt—but we had one thing they don’t: if pizza wasn’t delivered in 30 minutes or less, it was free.

On any weekend night—okay, any night really since I attended a liberal arts college and I tended to hang out with people who weren’t exactly model students (I don’t think there were any, actually)—we’d have a small quantity of money to spend on beer and pizza. If the pizza was free, that meant more money for beer.

The amount of beer you could get for the price of a pizza was significant.

It was still the Cold War then, with the possibility of nuclear war and all that. But it was not a time without hope: there was always the hope of free pizza.

Of course, eventually they figured out that pizza delivery drivers were getting into accidents too often, so they got rid of the free pizza policy.

To this day I’m still a little let down whenever I order pizza and they tell me it will be there in “about 45 minutes” or whatever. Oh, man, where’s the fun in “about 45 minutes.” And what if it comes in 50 minutes? Nothing special.



On the other hand, these days I eat Pagliacci’s instead of Domino’s. Seattle-ites, you know what I’m saying.

The Not Really Free, Not Really
Broadband, Free Broadband Scam


The Not Really Free, Not Really
Broadband, Free Broadband Scam
08/06/2004 04:41 PM
Aaron writes in to point us to a story at Broadband Reports about a scam claiming to offer "free" broadband, when the truth is anything but that. The company in question is really just offering one of those silly web "accelerator" tools that speed up some dialup web surfing by caching images and using some compression. It's not really broadband at all, though if you're stuck on dialup, apparently it helps. It's also not free at all, since it's a typical pyramid scam, where you need to get others to sign up first. Since they know otherwise intelligent people will know it's a scam, the site doesn't make outrageous claims on their home page, but leaves those only for those who come via a referral code (which is all part of the scam) at which point they start making outlandish claims anyone with a bit of broadband knowledge would know were false.

If It's Free, Will No One Pay?


If It's Free, Will No One Pay? 06/14/2004 09:40 AM
TechDirt briefly dissects Associated Press story that points out no one (that they talked to) is profitable in the hotspot business: We try not to be defenders of the flame here at Wi-Fi Networking News, but examine news stories and company announcements as well as hardware and software with some degree of objectivity tempered by experience. The AP article isn't inaccurate, but we'd rather point to TechDirt's brief dissection of it than the original story because the premise is flawed. It's abundantly clear after the events of the last couple of months--not to mention years--that there is no such thing as a standalone Wi-Fi hotspot business. I'll beat the drum that Sky Dayton first stretched the deer hide over back in Dec. 2001: the business of selling hotspot access is a different business than signing contacts with venues and installing hardware and running a network. Wayport's ongoing transformation from 2000 to present from a customer-facing organization into a customer and reseller-facing group into a pure wholesale managed services and network operator demonstrates most clearly that standalone hotspot operators are and were a temporary phenomenon. The networks that remain will eventually derive the majority of their income from either roaming users from their reseller partners, from managed services for venues that want to handle their own billing or be part of a larger network, or from the per-venue/per-month fees that Wayport is promoting as the model to build larger audiences. The AP story is prescient in that the idea of there being a "Wi-Fi hotspot business" has practically become passé already. Mass-market companies like cell operators, cable system owners, telcos, warehouse membership clubs, and other groups with millions of customers will be most people's experience with hotspot service in the future....

Is Pb-Free The Next Y2K?


Is Pb-Free The Next Y2K? 04/30/2004 04:13 PM
Robert Cringely's latest column is looking at the issue of Pb-Free, which is a regulation stating that products in the EU (and, increasingly, other parts of the world) need to be almost entirely lead free by July 2006. Cringely is worried that no one is thinking about the implications of this, which may require major equipment shifts for electronics makers and, he believes, shifts in what type of technology is used in electronics, since direct replacements for lead may be less reliable. He's worried that it will end up being costly, and is likely to drive tier II and III suppliers out of business - especially since they have no current plans for how to make the switch. Of course, unlike Y2K (which he compares it to), there's no hard deadline on this, and no risk of existing equipment no longer working.

Free vs. Fee in the UK


Free vs. Fee in the UK 01/28/2004 01:31 PM
This story is largely another take on the free vs. fee debate: The general conclusion is that venues will find they won't make any money by charging for Wi-Fi because no one is willing to pay and if they can't make any money they won't bother offering Wi-Fi access for free. One angle this writer neglects to consider is the increased business that Wi-Fi can lead to for some businesses such as cafes. A lot of venue owners say they see increased visits during traditionally slow hours by Wi-Fi users, who even though they don't pay for access do pay for food or coffee. One business owner in the story is quoted as saying that people expected Wi-Fi to become a mass market product but it's still mostly for business users. It'll remain that way unless there are applications running on the networks that the mass market finds worth using....

Isn't this country all about saying that freedom is worth the risk?...
