Things you can learn by being dumb
May. 12th, 2008 04:50 pmSince I forgot to copy my new music onto my iPod until I was packing in a hurry, I just threw the cable in my bag, and synced while I was on the bus.
I now know two things I didn't know before:
The latter makes me wonder if it would be possible to run an internet connection while in motion by having your machine auto-hop from one network to the next, or whether the constant transition from one NAT device to another makes this impossible.
It also makes me wonder if global ad-hoc mesh networking is already possible in dense suburbia.
And, for the NIN fans on my friends list (all maybe one of you), The Slip is ok so far. Worth the download if you're a fan. Probably not the best intro if you don't know them already.
I now know two things I didn't know before:
- There isn't really enough room to use a 17" MacBook Pro while sitting on a NJ Transit bus. (Shocking, I know.)
- From the middle of the street, you can pick up a lot of wireless networks. (Seven, in my case, about half running without security.)
