I was pleased to find 
Wifinder this morning. I had been frustrated that the Tunsten couldn't seem to find basestations at all. I fired up Wifinder and wandered through the building, quickly picking up the three basestations I know about. I didn't find any others yet, but I haven't looked seriously. It's very slick!
Today's Salon has an interesting article about Bill and Hillary's Marriage. I particularly liked this quote
[...] smart, tough women are great, as long as you don't have to actually sleep in the same bed with one.
This Wired article describes Palm GPhone which does IP telephony using 802.11b on a Palm device. Unfortunately it's still vaporware at the moment. The VLI Website says it will be released in July. Cool! Maybe I can talk them into letting me get a beta.
I checked out Locfinder which is part of the Wireless Node Database Project. You put in where you are, and it tells you the closest places to get wireless internet connectivity. It thinks there is a dearth of connectivity near Amherst. We really need to get a community wireless project going here. A few of us have talked about it at one time or another. What we really need to do is approach the various network providers (principally Comcast and the University) and see if they'd be willing to underwrite the connectivity -- all we'd probably need is a small pipe) and then approach business owners about getting the access points. It sounds so easy. Here's my first pass at a proposal. We'll see if we can get anyone else interested.
The most difficult thing to get used to with my Tungsten C has been Graffiti 2. Basically, they made it harder to write an "i" a "k" and a "t". In original Graffiti, these were all single strokes. Now for all of them you start with a single stroke (which makes an "l") and then you add a second stroke which has to be in the right place relative to the first stroke and the "l" gets changed into an "i", "k", or "t". It might have been easier to learn it that way originally, but I hate having to relearn it now. This article provides some background and speculates it is at least partly due to a lawsuit involving Xerox (which claims a patent on an alphabet that uses single strokes).
This evening, l have the dubious pleasure of attending an elementary school orchestra concert. Oh, joy. I am nervous, but feel it cannot be as horrifying as when a little girl sang at the "talent" show last week. She sang flat and with a piercing aspect that caused a painful thrill to run up and down my spine. I had to screw my eyes shut, clench my fists, and gasp with the agony of it. It physically hurt. I'm hoping it can't be that bad, can it?
Well, the orchestra was no problem, but the band was fairly painful. It had the same piercing quality. Augh!
