  1. Woktenna? on Ask Slashdot: DIY 4G Antenna Design For the Holidays? · · Score: 1

    I've got a Virgin Mobile MC760 3G USB Modem, and am wrapping up using a wok skimmer as a parabolic antenna for it. I'm using a 11" skimmer, and went from two to four bars signal. Just have to finish the mounting and I'll be able to use it with our house wifi network through our router (it has a usb port and with dd-wrt I can use that for a failover connection when Comcast goes down). Here's the basic idea of it: http://geobray.com/2010/02/07/woktenna-for-3g/ Same idea, using USB wifi adapters: http://www.usbwifi.orconhosting.net.nz/

  15. Re:Solar Power on After Recent US Storms, Why Are Millions Still Without Power? · · Score: 1

    From when I put our solar install in, as far as New Jersey goes, you can't do that. Perhaps soon, with the number of outages and number of installs both going up.

  16. Re:Trim the fucking trees on After Recent US Storms, Why Are Millions Still Without Power? · · Score: 1

    This. With Atlantic City Electric I see the same thing. Hurricane Irene's outages I blame on poor maintenance, trimming. This time around, the trees are shattered - it's amazing how some look.

  17. Re:Solar Power on After Recent US Storms, Why Are Millions Still Without Power? · · Score: 1

    Problem with most solar installations were I live (and I have solar as well), this that we are currently required to have our solar shut down so it doesn't backfeed to the street. I understand there are ways around that, but we've got a generator and I'll live with that for now.

  18. Been without power since 2am on the 30th on After Recent US Storms, Why Are Millions Still Without Power? · · Score: 1

    in southern New Jersey. Cell phone service seems back to normal as of late Monday. Power isn't expected to be back until the 6th, don't know about cable/internet. Thankfully I purchased a generator after Hurricane Irene last year - were without power/cable/internet for two days after that. Generator will cover a good bit of our needs, just need to make sure we don't overload it - as my wife did this morning. While I agree that the local utilities DON'T do enough preventative maintenance to trim back trees, etc., the amount of trees that look like they literally exploded is amazing. We were lucky and only had minor damage in our neighborhood, my parent's street looks like a war zone - but they live in a more developed town and have their utilities all restored.
