Line 1: Line 1:
-* 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.
