- | * The WiFi Roach Coach: wherein we hack together a wimax modem with a | ||
- | wifi router and a rechargeable battery, and stick the whole rig in a | ||
- | backpack, to create an ultra-mobile wifi hotspot with uplink. We'd | ||
- | also build other backpacks which repeat the wifi signal from the | ||
- | "uplink" backpack. Also: costumes. | ||
- | |||
- | * MediaBox (aka HAL, halproject.net), a network-attached storage | ||
- | device (Linksys NSLU2) that we deploy alongside a wifi router to offer | ||
- | localized "rich media" (does anyone use that term anymore?). | ||
- | |||
- | * Tunneling: passing all traffic over an OpenVPN tunnel, so that it can't be messed with by whoever's providing the connectivity (and can't be traced back to them). | ||
- | |||
- | * Pretty visualizations: digging deep into the wifidog database to | ||
- | look at the stats that we're collecting, and creating new ways of | ||
- | visualizing the information -- both to gain new knowledge about how | ||
- | people are using the network, and also in order to make pretty images. | ||
- | Also: auralizations. | ||
- | |||
- | * Community portal pages: finding new data sources, importing new | ||
- | data, watching how people use it, comparisons with other captive | ||
- | portals, surveys(?), etc. Community portal pages are still what | ||
- | excites me most about Wireless Toronto. | ||
