[nycwireless] Artist seeking Wireless Network Specialist
To all interested, Shu Lea Cheang, self styled digital normadic artist, engages in interface building in social/mobile/wireless networks. will be presenting St(r)eaming the Fields, a field harvesting and public network project in New York City this September. With an After the Crash scenario , the fields project borrows the alternative market model of Argentina's El club del Trueque (Club of Exchange) in designating organic garlic (harvested in Andes, New York this summer) as 'credito', the social currency for a global shared network in common exchange. Inspired by the global-wise local development in autonomous wireless networks, we hope to work with existing and expanding NYC wireless nodes in New York City to create urban farm stands for online garlic credito trading. The project's online garlic credito trading will launch on September 1. The street trading at wireless nodes are scheduled for September 27, 28, 29. http://www.rich-air.com we are looking for a wireless network specialist to assist us technically on confirming (or devising) wireless nodes. We hope to be able to do real media streaming from the selected locations. http://www.rich-air.com/locations/index.html (this site routes our desired wireless nodes for parking garlic truck) The project is funded by Lyn Blumenthal Memorial fund for Independent Media ( Lyn is co-founder of Video Data Bank based out of Chicago Art Institute). It is a not-for-profit project, our fund is limited. We can offer $500 (+ a bunch of garlic) for wireless technical assistance on this project. please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are interested. thanks sl -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
Re: [nycwireless] donations
Hmm, an interesting queston. I, as a member, have heard a number of times from different people that there is NO money transaction in the entity of NYCWireless. After being a member since April, it is still not clear to me who (supposedly the board members?) are assuming the financial and legal liabilities of NYCWireless. I am not sure how this will work for donation and other money-related matters if there is no one in the NYCWireless taking charge of the operation, accepting donating or whatever, and taking up the liabilities. If you are not looking for the offical receipts for donation or whatever that could be used for tax deduction, I guess you can do whatever you want. But if you are looking for something that IRS will not have problems with, that will be more complicated. In either case, I think it is not a bad idea for whoever representing the NYCWireless entity will step forward to make this clear to all members.

Re: [nycwireless] Perl programmer needed
For whoever is taking up the offer, I hope NYCWireless will take it serious this time. Anthony has emailed me offlist before last month's (July) general meeting to see whether we are interested in helping out. We have agreed to meet and discuss after the general meeting of last month. But Anthony did not show up for the meeting. I emailed and called the next day to follow up but have gotten no reply. Perhaps Anthony and others are too busy. Or our expertise did not match the needs. Either case, there is no hard feeling. But as a community asking for voluntneer contribution, I am hoping, by posting this, will help the next person who may want to help out to be treated with more respect by the NYCWireless.

Re: [nycwireless] Personal Attacks

Feel free to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please detail the grievance, a recommended solution, and what the submitter is willing to-do to implement the recommended solution. We all must remember that this is a volunteer group. There are no full time paid employees. We each set our own priorities, and often don't have the opportunities to respond to and follow up on all interesting projects. In comparison though some things move faster, and we have more integration and communication than large companies. NYCwireless has more nodes in the metro area than all the commercial 802.11 providers combined. The group is diverse and the area is wide, and everyone has the opportunity to work on what they choose. If someone is interested in doing a project, or heading a task, lead on. --Terry -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/

Daniel, I understand where you are coming from. Your point is precisely what I am trying to advocate as in my last posting.

Re: [nycwireless] Does Verizon offer broadband wireless?
Hello Daniel and All, Verizon does offer wireless 1xRTT service. Normal data rate is 40-50Kbps, similar to a 56k modem. As like a modem, there is a connect and disconnect routine, I've read numerous reviews, and it varies between 5-20 seconds. Not always on, but the flat rate of $99 is a very nice trait. More can be found at: http://www.verizonwireless.com/jsp/special_offers/splash/exp_network.jsp Unlimited Express Network Calling Plan If you use wireless Internet for hours at a time, this fixed-rate plan offers great value. For just $99.99 a month, you get unlimited access to the Express Networksm for your wireless data needs. You can add Unlimited Express Network to most Verizon Wireless digital calling plans and your voice and other data use will be charged at your digital calling plan rates. Or you can sign up for the Unlimited Express Network Calling Plan for no additional monthly access fee and your voice and other data use will be $.69 a minute coast to coast. -Ben - Original Message - From: Daniel Thor Kristjansson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: NYCWireless [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 3:33 PM Subject: [nycwireless] Does Verizon offer broadband wireless?
