<0> I'm not worried. I bet you get the job without any problems.
<0> Not bad. :)
<1> Yeah, that's what I'm really excited about and the primary reason for wanting to leave the current job
<1> THanks for the kind wishes =)
<0> Btw, I had some second thoughts about russia. I think I'm going to skip out until after I've settled down my financial arrangements.
<1> Ok, I'll check in with you when I'm ready to finalize the dates and such anyways just to make sure
<0> Take lots of pictures for me though? I want to see a lot of four headed horses.
<1> Sure. It may not be until September of next year. I'm going to Japan in May with Christie
<0> Nice!
<1> Depending on the job situation, that may push back Ukraine anyways
<1> Best of all, she already bought the tickets and paid for all of the Japan trip =)
<1> Not a dime out of my pocket. It's definitely a nice change to actually be treated by a spouse
<0> Oh man. You need to marry this one
<1> Yeah, it'll likely happen eventually
<0> Still have those horses?
<1> Linux sure does support a lot more mainstream goodness than it did three years ago
<1> jblack: Of course
<1> jblack: And the dogs... And the cats...
<1> Heh.
<1> I'm waiting for her to want pet cows.
<0> Hey! build a wireless mesh out of the animals.
<1> Hmmm, big collars required, but it could work.
<0> forget collars. Operate.
<1> Oh geez, I could just see Christie's reaction to that.
<0> Shame shame. Those animal lovers are always in the way of R&D
<0> actually.. that just got me thinking...
<1> Yeah, but what can you do. She pays for their upkeep.
<0> If you could shrink wireless enough, and use solar power...
<0> well, imagine wireless vests for pigeons. Get a natural disaster, let off a couple thousand birds.
<0> And bang, you've got at least a daytime network.
<0> Ok. either everyone is thinking about that, or I'm seeing too many decades ahead.
<2> Transmission control protocol / pigenon protocol?
<0> Yeah.
<2> tee cee pee pee pee
<0> flying 802.11 aps backed with a mesh network.
<0> And since birds like to set in trees and rooftops, you should be able to get good coverage.
<3> It depends how much the birds like to sit in the shade, of course.
<1> I guess
<0> Just watch. somebody will sell that 20 years from now. :)
<4> DataCableeee ther?
<1> It'd have to be disposable equipment
<1> And the stuff, at least in that form factor, is not cheap enough yet
<0> I did mention decades, right?
<0> pigeons may be too small.Perhaps crows.
<1> But yeah, 20 years from now... Of course, twenty years from now they'll be some other solution that negates all need for live carriers, I'm sure =D
<1> I'm betting on a world-wide coverage solution to role out in a semi-affordable form within a decade
<3> It's a shame you need the height really: Cockroaches might be lower-risk.
<3> On the down side of cockroaches, though, well they're cockroaches.
<1> LEO sats, lots of them
<0> LEOs would do it, though they seem too expensive.
<1> Streamline the hopping, push the freq to small form factor antennas
<1> jblack: I'm betting on Japan doing it.
<0> hmmm. Yeah. I suppose they could pull it off.
<1> Plus you'd have the added bonus of being able to have a gps-like location identification in the same adapter
<0> Still.. with form factor and power storage sorted out...
<1> YEah
<1> It'll be awhile
<0> You don't need the satellites at all. Birds are cheap.
<1> Heh, birds die.;
<1> A lot quicker than sats burn out
<0> Sure. And they flock.
<0> I can launch a bird for a _lot_ less. :)
<0> Lets say each device cost $200.
<0> and a satillite cost 50 mil.
<0> Thats 250,000 birds.
<1> ANd that satellite can cover the same area as 250,000 birds
<0> Lets say 1k a bird.
<1> More reliably
<0> I'm not so sure...
<0> a LEO doesn't have that great of coverate -- that's why you need so many of them.
<0> Put up a couple hundred sats, and then you've got iridium problems.
<1> Well, we'll see. If your bird idea takes off, I'll buy you dinner.
<2> latency..
<1> Latency on LEO sats at the right freqs would be nominal.
<0> Don't make promises you don't keep. :)
<1> jblack: Hey now, I keep them. Last time it just took me an extra year or so to get out ther.
<0> That's a point.
<5> is there any open source firmware for routers?
<2> openwrt
<5> cool
<1> whythehell: I was gone?
<3> Not necessarily; perhaps it was just a nick change.
<5> ****in cool
<3> But I suspect it's just me being a bit slow (and on a bus when you arrived).
<6> DrDoug: RF travels at the speed of light. You will always have a delay.
<1> ancker: Note the use of the word 'nominal'.
<6> I was more commenting on the "at the right freqs" the frequency is irrelevant
<1> ancker: Receiver size?
<6> 50ghz travels at the same speed as 1hz
<1> s/Receiver/antenna
<2> still travels at 3x10^8 m/s
<6> DrDoug: what about antenna size?
<1> ancker: Wouldn't the frequency effect the neccesary size?
<7> Shalom guys. I'm going to install a wireless card, and I want everyone that connects to my card and trys to browse to get a specific html page, no matter what web page or url they enter. how do I do that redirection ?
<2> captive portal
<2> there's hotspot software to do just that
<6> DrDoug: not really. Almost everything is 1/x wave.
<1> Hmm
<7> nivek : Were you talking to me ? can you elaborate ?
<2> eliran_, yes... google for captive portal
<7> nivek : Cool, thanks.
<2> I think a few weeks ago someone here was doing it with iptables and some scripting before.... but there's already pre-made software for hotspots
<0> speed vs. throughput guys.
<2> don't underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of CDs
<6> DrDoug: a common radio station is 92.5, which has an ~10ft wavelength...
<6> your walkman certainly doesn't have a 10ft antenna, nor your car...
<0> How long is the antenna in a walkman?
<0> and are you counting the part thats wound up inside?
<2> heh... my handheld certainly doesn't have a 2-meter antenna :)
<1> I am missing 512 megs of RAM
<1> Be back in a bit =)
<6> jblack: the part wound up?
<7> nivek : Thanks. Any specific captive portal software for linux ? something light weight ? something with webmin configuration interface ?
<6> jblack: and regardless, antenna length is irrelevant
<6> nivek: 2m, are you a ham?
<2> ancker, have been since 1994
<6> what's your call?
<7> Can anyone recommend a captive portal software for FC5 ?
<6> eliran_: nocat
<7> ancker : NoCatNet ?
<6> eliran_: its just called nocat
<7> ancker : Ok, found it @ http://nocat.net/ , thanks !
<8> Hmm, I think I got mine in '95.
<9> Heh! I was putting together his bot test. ;)
<8> Poor, poor simmy.
<7> ancker : Seems like it was last updated 3-May-2004.
<7> ancker : I'll just go and search for something at sf.net.
<10> how do i make bnc listen on a specific iface
<10> what do i have to add to the bnc.conf
<6> vipersniper: bncs are icky
<8> vipersniper: I'll help you if you tell me the legitimate use for it.
<10> ancker, what the other option ;)
<10> p3nguin, its for me to connect to dalnet
<8> Why not connect from your client directly?
<10> im, doing that now
<8> Is it not working out for you?
<10> i just want to understand how to do it
<8> I mean, there has to be some reason you want to BNC instead.
<10> p3nguin, can i pm you
<6> vipersniper: run 'screen' from the box you want to connect from....and just attach/detach as needed
<8> vipersniper: Let me give you clearance, then you can. One moment.
<10> lol
<8> K, go ahead.
<10> national security
<8> I had to allow it or it will block you and I'll never see the messages.
<8> I have to do that to prevent spammers.
<9> heh. That damn anti-spam script. It's eaten me more than once.
<9> I just do /umode +R and that takes care of 95% of it.
