2003 Seattle Wireless Field Day

propellerhead writes "Today is 2003 Wireless Field Day for Seattle Wireless. 'Similar to amateur radio field day, a mock emergency network will be created this summer using off-the-shelf 802.11b hardware, computers, and battery/gas power supplies. Network applications such as VoIP (Voice over IP or Internet Telephony), streaming audio and video, file sharing, chat, network games, and others will be implemented across a multi-hop wireless infrastructure. If resources allow, the goal is to connect this mobile network to the existing Seattle Wireless network, which currently exists in the Seattle area. This network can also provide access to the internet and our community network partners like Seattle Pacific University and Council House Projects.'"

    As fun as this all sounds, think of the good that could be accomplished if instead of showing off a bunch of overpriced hackery everybody instead worked a day or two in a soup kitchen or got a computer club together for a bunch of underprivileged youth in their area.

    That was my name for it when I used to pull the fire alarm too.

    When I actually set fires I called it "Guy Fawkes in North America". Heh. Ah, wasted youth.

    Or even more usefully, we could remember that most of us have no social skills and stick with overpriced hackery, rather than fighting with hobos and gangsta children.
