I was thinking last night, it would be pretty cool to make a mesh network with Linksys WRT54G running OpenWRT, where the routers are all mounted on some kind of robot, where they would repel each other to the point where signal strength started dropping off slightly.
Any new nodes that came online as users would cause the robots to move farther away from each other, making the network bigger as a result.
It would be a good Burning Man type of project.
Online poker is great fun, and I always like to help a good Googlebomb!
Wow! This process is amazing: Colorization Using Optimization
Mr Lloyd Axworthy, former Foreign Minister of Canada, has some rather strong words for Ms. Rice.
A quote: As our erstwhile Prairie-born and bred (and therefore prudent) finance minister pointed out in presenting his recent budget, we’ve had eight years of balanced or surplus financial accounts. If we’re going to spend money, Mr. Goodale added, it will be on day-care and health programs, and even on more foreign aid and improved defence.
Sure, that doesn’t match the gargantuan, multi-billion-dollar deficits that your government blithely runs up fighting a “liberation war” in Iraq, laying out more than half of all weapons expenditures in the world, and giving massive tax breaks to the top one per cent of your population while cutting food programs for poor children.
Ouch!
I read Samuel Pepys’ diary on a daily basis, and I thought today’s entry was awesome:
thence to the Opera, and there saw “Romeo and Juliet,� the first time it was ever acted; but it is a play of itself the worst that ever I heard in my life
Rather harsh don’t you think?
