This week we officially moved HackNight to Wednesday. If you’re going to attend a HackNight, you should always check the EventCalendar.

That said, this week Rob picked up a Wi-Spy dongle, and although I’m partial to the Wispy-Tools console, running the native tools on Casey’s windows box got the most oohs and ahs.

Matthew brought a whole pile of hardware to see if he could get the firmware off his Apple eMate and run it on a Zaurus. By the time I left, he had it running on his Powerbook under an emulator. Color me impressed.

One sad (but slightly funny) point in the evening was watching everyone’s first peek at the printed copy of Wireless Networking in the Developing World. It seems that there was a slight problem in the printing process so you need a magic decoder ring and a whole lot of spare time to read it.

I also had my first piece of Key Lime pie tonight. With Iced Tea. It was surprisingly tasty. According to Richard, it’s surprisingly easy to make as well. Good to know.
