Some More Photos

I found this cute photo I took of a car back in 2003 in a museum. It is a Kingswood, and I thought it looked cute. I can’t quite remember which museum it was – I have an idea, but I will not say in case I am wrong. If you cannot work it out, this is a Holden Kingswood.

Now, sometimes getting WiFi access in a hotel can be hard. The first photo is connecting to a city wide Wireless network which I paid about $20 for 200 mBytes for from memory. But from my hotel I could not get very good access, so I added a large antenna to my laptop card, and attached it to the window with some electrical tape.

Ironically, in that case I was in town to give three talks at a national convention, and one talk at a local club. Two of these talks were on WiFi, including WiFi antennas, and experimenting with them.

The 2nd photo is from a Hollywood hotel room, connecting to someones home WiFi network to use their internet access for free. This was fantastic since I was paying US$0.30/minute for internet access on dialup thanks to high dialup charges.
