Argh… I just got home from a meeting… It is now 11:30PM and it was a 7:30PM meeting. That is too long for a night time meeting. And now I have a tactful letter to write before I forget what I need to say. One of those letters that is officially unofficial. When it is easier to get forgiveness rather than permission. I do not want to stay up too late since I have an important meeting tomorrow in North Ryde, mostly in a car park. I hope it is not too hot.

According to The Register, Netgear have agreed that their wireless advertising is slightly deceptive. One thing that I have been sceptical of for years is the speeds that are written down for Wireless access. For instance 11 Mbps is listed at the speed of 802.11b. In reality you can never get more than about 5 Mbps. Their MIMO product is the one which is under a cloud, since the advertising suggests that you can get it running at close to ethernet speeds. Which of course is hogwash. But the advertising assumes ideal conditions which is actually impossible. Welcome to my world.

I mentioned before about lightning detectors. You can see many of the detectors here
