Transbay wi-fi link day
sth posted in meetings, wifi on December 14th, 2006
Here’s the schedule for MRL this Friday. Most of it is in preparation for the transbay wi-fi connection we’re going to attempt on Saturday Dec 16th. If you’re interested in helping, you know of anyone that has done this already, or know of good locations to try it from, let us know.
Fellow Hackers, Slackers, and Code-crackers:
On Friday December 15th at 7pm PST we will be holding our monthly
official Midnight Research Labs meeting.
In preparation for our trans-bay wi-fi link connection attempt, we'll
be watching a video from CCC on establishing long distance wi-fi
connections. We'll also finalize the start locations, pick gear and
teams for each side of the link. The plan is still to attempt the link
on the 16th (Saturday), but at this point it looks like a 50/50 chance
that the weather will cooperate (we'll decide one way or the other
Friday, and reschedule if necessary).
We have our bi-quad antennas to finish up as well. Also making an
appearance will be some freshly home brewed beer for those interested
(it will be its debut, so I'm not sure how it turned out yet, :).
As always, anyone with cool toys, or interesting project ideas, bring
them along.
Light refreshments, pizza and beer will be served.
Agenda:
