Beer and Bluetooth

juxter writes "The BBC is reporting on a London bar which has installed a Bluetooth and WiFi access point. Owners of camera phones can wirelessly send their pictures to an overhead screen and web based gallery - The system runs the LocustWorld Linux based MeshAP which has been extended to drive bluetooth devices as well. Hopefully this will encourage more UK premises to deploy free hot spots."

Let's go ahead and bluetooth/wireless/etc everything in site, so this all can end.

When I can see if my dog is out eating poop in the back yard across her webcam toting, pringles can antenna/802.11b utility collar, all from the comforts of my fridge mounted display, I'll be in good shape.
