I'm not Addicted to my Computer(s)
I'm presently sitting in the Trident Cafe with Allyson connected via the free wireless connection here. Allyson didn't bring a computer, so we have to share µ's net connection. I also forgot my cellphone at home, so I can't go online with my Palm. What do I do? I set up a ppp connection over bluetooth from my palm to my laptop and do NAT to get it online. I've a caching DNS server running on µ that serves anything that connects to it via NAT.
Internet gateway → Trident ISP --802.11a→ Airport --802.11b→ µ --PPP over bluetooth→ Palm
And the best part is that it's all wireless and it works. I ♥ wireless.

Is that supposed to be a pipe symbol? If so, I "pipe" wireless doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Care to explain?

Sorry I couldn't join you. Unfortunately, I can't hang out on Saturday either, but I will be out 4:00 to pick up cakes.
