Additional Info About T-Mobile and 1X (Oct 13 2003 19:22 GMT) - Just to clarify and add a couple points to the short Seattle Times blurb. T-Mobile sounds really open about playing with a wide variety of 802.1X clients, not just the one offered by Microsoft. Users of Meetinghouse's Aegis and Funk's Odyssey clients can also use T-Mobile's more secure network -- and those two companies offer clients for many platforms, including various flavors of Windows, Mac OS, and Unix/Linux. In addition, T-Mobile will support open-source clients. |

Damn Bureaucrats (Oct 13 2003 19:22 GMT) - TechDirt reports that the Wi-Fi network built to cover the island of Niue has been shut down: Apparently the free network that covered the entire Polynesian island was built without proper authorization from the government. This is a case of the government shooting itself in the foot. Only between 1,000 and 2,000 people live on the island (reports vary). Yachters stop by the island a lot and have enjoyed the network. |

Beslutsamhet som gränsar till dumdristighet? (Oct 13 2003 19:18 GMT) - Kommer hem från sökverktygskursen i Örebro och mäklaren hör av sig och säger att säljarna av lägenheten är beredda att ta vårt bud. Jaha, och nu då? En del skulle nog säga att det är förhastat och att lägenheten inte är den bästa, men jag tycker det skulle vara jävligt skönt att säga: bye bye Årsta, hello Drottninghusgränd. Vi har bott tillräckligt länge nu, något nytt behövs. |
