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.
