SeattleWireless needs your help to put a wireless node on the Capitol Hill Radio Towers. This node will be able to connect Seattle neighborhoods and can possibly be used for longer distance links as well. It is approximately 550 ft above sea level, and has direct line of sight to Bellevue and Kirkland.

It’s taken a couple of days to decompress from the madness that was MindCamp, but Rob has written up a piece on what happened with the network.

Here’s my bullet points on what not to do next time.

  • Don’t trust the WiFi Alliance to test ad-hoc.
  • Don’t trust Windows to do the right thing.
  • Don’t trust manufacturers will have sane wireless configs. One thinkpad I tried to help with had 3 competing drivers, all with different configurations
  • Don’t offer DHCP on the 802.11a link. People will find it and upload podcasts. Funny ones even.
  • Find out where common speed test sites are and netnanny them.
  • Show up weeks before, not days before. T1s in the space doesn’t mean they’re active.
  • Don’t show up for a 24 hour event already on sleep dep.
