I’m sitting in a tent at AlkiSite. Connected to the Internet through a mile and half link to the Columbia Tower. Ken is getting Magnolia’s client AP set up (remotely), and there is currently a helicopter buzzing us.
To top it off, the weather is awesome. Here’s some pictures from Andrew Hitchcock, and some of mine |

Tomorrow, we’re going out to Alki Beach in West Seattle, and connecting to Magnolia Park with a temporary wireless link. We’re going to try to get on the rest of the SWN as well as show off some cool multimedia demos.
Setting up in parks is weird because none of the usual rules apply. There is no power, we can’t put stakes in the ground, and there are a bunch of non-geek parkgoers who dont understand what you’re doing and want to ask questions about it. I’ve been packing up gear for the past day and know i’m going to end up forgetting something. Luckily, when you’ve got a bunch of wireless geeks hanging out, there is redundancy in nearly everything.
I’m not sure how many people are going to show up, but so far there is a 40′ bus, a plane and a helicopter.
- Mike is going to check around for generator
- Still haven’t heard anything from Magnolia crowd
- CJ has been made the MagnoliaSiteLeader since he wasn’t here.

This month’s Linux Journal is chock full of wireless.
Doc Searls writes about how Linux makes it all work in New York. He talks about pebble, NYCWireless, a really cool boombox hack called The Bass-Station, and even delves into the commercial models of emenity and verizon.
Mike Kershaw has a piece about NoCatAuth which gives a reader the rundown on how to get, install and configure a captive portal.
There’s even a kismet-on-zaurus howto by Tony Steidler-Dennison for the PDA crowd.
I wonder how long it’s going to take before there’s a dead-tree magazine devoted to this stuff.
“According to reports, the phone switched itself off when the 33-year-old women dropped the phone. When she switched it back on again, the phone exploded.”
This certainly says something about buying aftermarket parts for your phone.
