hi SOCALWUG, *Warm* hello's from your SDWUG neighbors (in San Diego). Our meeting tonight may be of interest for some of you, so i thought i'd share our meeting announcement. We stream all of our meetings live (thanks to help from Frank Keeney... thanks again Frank!) :-) so, feel free to tune in tonight around 6PM for info on how to set up your own community wireless network!
Take it easy, -Lee ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2003 21:16:55 -0800 (PST) From: Lee Barken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SDWUG] >>AWESOME<< Meeting Next TUESDAY!! Ever thought about providing wireless broadband to your neighbors? Come and hear one tale of ups and downs about un-wiring a set of nine houses from our own SDWUG member, Michael Mee! Michael will provide an overview of where he legally found internet access, the various equipment he tried, discarded and finally kept for the base station, and the gotchas he encountered hooking up disparate computers in various configurations. See pictures of boxes with flashing lights and colored cables. Play 'network administrator' and hear how many Kazaa sessions it takes to drown a 620x128k DSL connection. The strange tales of wireless range, cantenna building and Linksys Wet-11 woes will have you sitting on the edge of your seat. The perils of providing (free) 24x7 access and somehow leaving for a two week vacation will have you rushing out to 'try this at home' - not! Hear grand visions of "Wireless Co-ops" based on nothing more than a sense of civic duty and nice hill view of 200+ houses. Finally, pause, reflect and ponder: do I really want to know my neighbors this well? Date: Tuesday, March 18th, 2003 Time: 5:30PM-8PM (presentation starts at 6PM!) Location: Vortex Data Systems, 7480 Mission Valley Road Map: http://www.vortexdata.com/map.htm Food and Beverages will be provided (Donations Welcome). Note: We stream our meetings live!
