    You are not subscribed to EDGE 

    For the past 3 days I’d not had EDGE access on my iPhone. Out of the blue I started getting the error message “Could not activate EDGE: You are not subscribed to EDGE“. I tried many things without success, but finally got it to work! In order to make the information more available, I’ve decided to document it here.

    I’ll first tell you what I did so you don’t have to repeat it, or at the least can save it for last, but if you’re impatient just scroll to the end of this post. (More …)

    RDP, APs, JOBZ, and BMG 

    AP map

    Today I was 3 computers deep into remote desktop (RD to one computer, then use that one to get to another, etc). Navigate through that sort of setup long enough, and you start to question what is real, or at least what is actually the machine you are physically sitting in front of. Quite existential, that.

    At any rate, on the drive to work today I was doing a little casual geo-wardriving with my new bluetooth GPS receiver and netstumbler and I came across 2 access points within about 100 yards of one another that I found very interesting. They had two distinct names that told me a lot about the persons that set them up. (More …)

    Kaiser Kuo is Full of $hi7 

    Torrentfreak.com has written an article analyzing why there is no way Kaiser Kuo’s claim that Blin.cn’s new P2P technology is 50x faster than Bittorrent. Its definately worth a read to educate yourself about the current state of the art.

    via torrentfreak.com
    TorrentFreak contacted Ashwin Navin, President and Co-Founder of BitTorrent Inc. When confronted with the 50 times faster than BitTorrent claim, he said: “BitTorrent can regularly saturate your downstream capacity, which in layman’s terms means BitTorrent is as fast as you can get. The claim is indicative of the fact that BitTorrent is the global standard for P2P transfers, against which all others are compared. BitTorrent DNA took that standard up significantly, but we don’t run around making sensationalist claims to get buzz.”

    I just came across a great little utility today, and am amazed I’ve not heard about it before now. Its called TCP Optimizer, and it’s greatly boosted my download speeds.

    Warblogging 

    This post is an euicho.com first, as it is my first mobile post. I took my 233MHz (gah! i know, heh) thinkpad 770 and my Zonet ZEW2500P 802.11g card out wardriving today while going to UMO and, by the time I had left the campus, I’d hit a total of 63 open connections.

    I had absolutely NO idea that this many people actually used wireless networking up in Maine. I havn’t even gone around half of campus yet either. The best part, though, is that I can hit 4 networks from my apartment including the hospital across the street that has a wicked fast connection. As I drive around Bangor, every few seconds Netstumbler squawks at me, detecting another MAC.

    This is too fun for words. Now I just wish I had a cheap GPS unit to plot the locations automatically with netstumbler!

      I think that Rand-McNally made a really cheap GPS unit that came with mapping software. It was USB driven if I recally correctly. Don’t quote me on any of this though, I can’t remember for sure.
