Yep, it is a pretty impressive network. I had a lot of fun, particularly given the range of day to day work activities. One day I am coding web apps, the next talking with fiber contractors, the next cleaning up after a big storm. I only wo

Upvoted twice for UBNT. Downvoted once for math: 50mbps x 200 users = 10,000mbps Arithimetic aside, Ubiquiti is quickly changing the Wisp world. At Freenet, we switched from Canopy and upgraded our backhauls to Ubiquiti Airmax and saved mon

From what I understand, no I have not watched the video yet, this is for Kansas City, KS and Wyandotte County. Olathe is in Johnson County and about a 20-25 minute drive from downtown KCK. Did I mention I spent that year commuting from KCK

I lived in KCK for a year in the mid 1990's. Yes, there was crime. Yes, there was poverty. Yes, there was a lot of blight. However, there were a whole lot of good, hard-working people there. In particular, Kansas City Kansas Community Colle

I live just down the road in Lawrence. We have AT&T, Knology, and a small, scrappy (disclaimer: that used to work for) community wireless startup in Lawrence Freenet. Freenet has been pushing hard to work with the City of Lawrence on a

FWIW, f.lux is working fine on Ubuntu 10.04, with multiple monitors, for me.

I worked in the same building as Dave in 2009 and 2010. Dr. Dave is the quintessential small business. He provides local, intelligent, and honest PC repair and his clients absolutely rave about his service.

I think the key would be to find a company to partner with (say Krogers?) that would, with the customer's approval share the data from their loyalty programs that, in theory, store it. This way the customer only needs to take one action, op

This is an interesting approach. Right now, credit cards don't get itemized receipts (afaik), just totals to charge to the customer's account. For a service like this to be really useful to me, I would want itemized receipts.

Perhaps this is an intance where a central service could aggregate e-receipts for customers. I could see this being linked to loyalty programs from major grocers, gas stations, etc. You could then manage your preferences with the central se

I vaguely remember that in my previous career in grocery management that diaper companies did something similar. I don't remember the brands/companies, but one brand would be positioned at the high end while another was at the low end. The

I had teachers who were not great. But I never had one out and out bad teacher. Never saw a teacher sleeping (in class) or wetting themselves (wow). And no teacher I had ever stood for any student being assaulted. Maybe there are benefits t

BATMAN, OSLR, and Open-Mesh are pretty slick. But, and a big but, we struggled running a network of ~500 of them in one medium-size Midwest city. It's not targeted at laptops, but at embedded boards somewhat like you would find in a commod
