Wireless Conference Blogging
from the hopefully... dept
Just a quick note that over on the Techdirt Wireless site, we're going to be blogging what's happening today at the EyeForWireless conference. This, though, will depend on the status of the WiFi connection, which (so far) can best be described as... flakey.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Generating traffic
I just shot over to techdirt wireless to check it out. I bought a new lap top with a wifi card and need to educate myself on its use.
I don't see much activity on the wireless site ? ! ? I think I saw maybe a total of 4 comments. What's up with this ?
Are you posting this story here in order to generate some traffic ?
PS. Thanks for a really informative site that despite my occasional disagreement with you, rocks.

Mike: if the wireless problem is at your end...

You can buy the EXT2 model (and 2 small antannas that just poke out 3 or so inches off it) at sites like netgate.com for about $110 US shipped. I'm doing some long-distance wireless stuff and the link quality/distance gain is huge with such a card. (Internal antenna version avail. too, cheaper)

Nope. I actually have one of those cards. The signal is strong, but it keeps kicking me (and others) out of the network, and making us log back in every few minutes.

There is a well known problem with XP's Zero Config wireless and certain wireless routers. If you hit up www.arstechnica.com, the article should be on the front page. If it isn't, do a search for "wireless"
Hope that helps.

It's always the wireless conferences that have the worst problems with wireless connectivity.
