Folkestone WiFi Hotspots

It says here that the Wetherspoons is a Folkestone wireless hotspot, the only public one apparently... unless anyone knows of any more?I'll be setting up my own wireless hotspot soon enough in the West End, but will hopefully be keeping it locked dow...

Folkestone WiFi Hotspot #2

This week's Folkestone Herald would have it in their business section that the first Folkestone wireless hotspot has just been introduced at the Portland Hotel. It's not free unfortunately, but it means you can take your wireless device (laptop, pock...

My first free wifi hotspot!

Found an open wireless access point right near work, posting using it now. That was easy!

I'm going to get some of these badboys to tap into your wifi broadband

Loving this DIY wifi music player, one day I'll be ready for my first real hardware hack.

wifi is wrong...

There is full free internet access

Wahey wa-ireless!

First post from the new computer, well the old, very old computer, but using the new operating system and wireless. It's not perfect, the connection does keep dropping, but that could be any number of things. It's been quite a long struggle as the ca...

wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Everything was good until I upgraded to the newer "Feisty Fawn" version of ubuntu, now we're back to the drawing board. I have no wifi and sometimes I have no keyboard or mouse either. If any of the following instructions (which I'm copying and pasti...

Not sure where that came from...

... but I just got my old PC internetting wirelessly at last, without needing to buy any new bits, and by following a forum post from 2005. How many times have I tried this and failed? This time I tried something new, and it worked. I think I was ins...

RE: wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Hi PaulI came across this site as I was searching how to make my new WG111v3 usb adaptor work under mandriva 2008 (I'll try it on my ubuntu machine later) - that has ndiswrapper installed and, like yours, didn't work. Your posting gave me the clue as...

RE: wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Cheers, I am all up and running now too. Wifi is too slow to use the box as a backup device as I intended, and ubuntu hangs when I'm transferring large volumes of data, a problem I've seen other people have when googling too... ah well, it was free h...

More wifi fun

Got my imac up and running with osx at last, this is GOOD. Thought I could just plug my wireless dongle in and be ready to go, streaming itunes around the house, but NO! Got drivers for it for OSX (there are none for OS9), but it's USB2 and this old ...

Internets are on in the new house

I'm in the study (um, basement) and the wifi reception is fine. Result! And the new dining table is in, we had our first dinner at it tonight. Tried to give Harry a shower, while we are waiting for the plumber to fix the bath taps, but he was having ...

Sony Bravia KDL24EX320W LED HD 1080p TV, 24 inch, Freeview with Built-in Wi-Fi, White

Thinking about this TV, any advice anyone?Probably actually get it from John Lewis but will shop around online. I thought I wanted a 32'' but not sure we have room for that in the bedroom. Don't have a lot of places to put it that aren't going to mea...

New telly is here!

The new TV just turned up at work. Awkward that it is today, when I don't have the car, and Clare is collecting me because... turns out Clare thought I was joking about buying a new TV and is not too pleased about it. Do you not read this blog, the w...

The new telly rocks

The internet and DLNA side of it all just works, it picked up my home media server (that I have only really been using for extra storage and backups so far) and streams all the old TV series that I'd forgotten I had saved on there no problem; Veronic...

Now I want another new telly

Maybe this one, I have started saving already... we got our other telly when we got married, which is about a million billion years ago now. I have not used all the features but decided that I REALLY REALLY REALLY need them all on the main telly. So ...
