Mark Paschal on how to change the display order of postings to a Radio weblog from reverse chronological to chronological order. .< 6:27:46 PM  >Install the Apple Ink font for general use [Mac OS X Hints] .< 6:17:13 PM >In the Home, a Tool Kit for a Wireless Network 'Even these companies would probably admit that Apple, the first company to popularize wireless gear, still holds the lead in user-friendlification.' .< 6:08:39 PM >From far and wide, O Canada, We wardrive on guard for thee: A sort of mixed bag of an article in which the author wardrives with a fellow who runs a wireless networking startup. En route, the writer notes a variety of Wi-Fi information, including the general lack of security. The Mounties tell the journalist they don't have Wi-Fi break-in stats because many victims don't report the incident. This makes it sound like connecting to the network is the same as cracking machines or copying files, of course; most Wi-Fi attacks are merely opportunistic connections. [80211b News] .< 6:07:04 PM >MPs call for relaxing of marijuana laws 
A committee of the House of Commons says people caught with small amounts of marijuana should not end up with criminal records. [CBC News] But we might not get anywhere because the Americans are threatening to clamp down at the border. They're afraid we'll bring pot into the US so they'll be stopping and searching more often. .< 6:03:06 PM >The Frontier and Manila User's Guide is now available for download as a PDF. [Frontier News] .< 6:01:26 PM >The antiwar movement goes mainstream. Groups like NOW, the Sierra Club and the National Council of Churches -- plus a raft of celebrities -- reach out to Middle America as they denounce a preemptive, unilateral war with Iraq. [Salon.com] .< 5:56:50 PM >iMovie: Fun & Easy. "If I were thinking about a new computer," writes Mike Wendland in the Detroit Free Press, "I[base ']d almost choose a Mac just because it has iMovie included as part of the operating system. That's how fun and easy it is to work with." [Dec 12] [Apple Hot News] .< 5:55:51 PM >Government in battle for quieter cities. UK latest: Campaigners warn that study will further delay action on noise. [Guardian Unlimited] .< 5:55:11 PM >The piano. Andrew Brown on the extraordinary story of an Amazonian tribe and a grand piano. [Guardian Unlimited] .< 5:41:04 PM >Tapping Into Public Wireless Networks 'And remember that behind every free hot spot there is someone or something paying for the Internet connection you are sharing. So enjoy the free ride while you can.' .< 2:33:43 PM >My book is shipping: The Wireless Networking Starter Kit, a book I co-wrote with Adam Engst, has left the printer and is heading out to bookstores. If you pre-order from Amazon.com now, you should have it within a few days. I have copies in hand, and boy does it look wonderful. The book is a friendly, uncomplicated look at understanding, configuring, and expanding Wi-Fi networks, with a focus on intermediate users who have some knowledge they want to supplement. Check out the table of contents and even the index and other details at the book's site. We'll have excerpts up in the next couple of days. [80211b News] Here's something for my Christmas list. I bought Adam's Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh many years ago. I've been reading Tidbits for years. And I've been enjoying Glenn's weblog since I discovered it. All good stuff. |
