Ahoy Vorts!
Just thought I'd pass along a
couple of things that may be of interest, one is wireless computer networking
related, and the other is health related. First of all, as some may
remember, I switched over to running Linux for an operating
system a couple of years ago. The switchover fit well with my
general philosophies of life and how to live it, and for the most part, it has
been extremely rewarding. So much so, that I've managed to convince a
number of other people to make the switch as well. The switch has not been
entirely without its challenges however, and that is the reason for this
posting.
About a year ago, I convinced my
boss that he could save a lot of money, down time, and security worries if
he switched his two networks over to Linux. He bought the idea, and we
switched over most (but not all) of computers to pure Linux. After a
short adjustment period, everyone at work was quite happy with the
performance gains and dependability of the system and programs. My
boss also got the bug to go wireless shortly afterword with a few of the
machines, and that was where I ran into The Wall.
I researched and did
experiments for hundreds of hours on how to make a wireless adaptor work
under Linux - all for naught. There are many people who have done it
successfully, but it is not an easy thing to do. It takes the skills of an
electrical engineer, and systems level programmer to achieve success.
I finally ran across an e-mail with the magic words "Wireless Ethernet Bridge"
as the answer. If you are wanting to go wireless on a Linux box or any
other non Windoze machine for that matter, and you don't want to go back to
college for two more (albeit very useful) degrees, do a Google on "Wireless
Ethernet Bridge".
Health Tip: Do a Google on
"sprouts". Then, don't walk - RUN to your nearest health food store,
and get the stuff you need to grow them. Grow them, stick them in your
mouth, chew them up and swallow them. Again, I've spent tens of
thousands of hours experimenting with a lot of various substances in my
life, and this is probably the most intelligent and rewarding thing that I've
done in years.
Have Fun!
