5th September 2003
I guess I could say that I am operational now but only in a very
limited way. I have a link to a neighbour about 50m away that we use
to share my Internet connection. Using a Cisco 1200 AP with a Cisco
5dbi Omni at my end with my friend using a Belkin 802.11g PCI card
with a home made Cantenna.
Currently deciding on what sort of Omni I want to build on the roof
of the house for inbound connections. Currently thinking waveguide or
something commercial from Pacific Sattelite.
Since my last update there are a lot of operational nodes including
backbone connected nodes showing up very close. Next week I want to
get up on the roof and wave a directional antenna around to see who I
can see.

Finally moved into the new house. Doing network cabling now and
getting ADSL installed so should be ready to start testing soon.
Yipee!
8th April 2003
So it seems that my house will be ready sooner than expected. I am
moving in on 30th May, 2003. I hope to have my study set up within the
first few weeks so that I can move to testing phase. It looks like
there are a fair number of nodes coming up near me so I should have
lots to connect to.
The only problem that I can see is that there is currently no
broadband available at the Heath. No ADSL or cable! This will need
some work.
December 2002:
I am currently building a house at the new Heath Estate in
Heatherton. Due to be finished in June 2003. Shortly after this I will
be putting up the mast and connecting first to a friend of mine who
will be living 2 houses away and secondly into as much of Melbourne
Wireless as possible.
I am thinking a high gain omni-direction for the inbounds and a
number of directional antennae for outbound links.
If anyone else has similar time frames I would love to hear from them
with a view to planning out our little neck of the network.[EditText] [Spelling] [Current] [Raw] [Code] [Diff] [Subscribe] [VersionHistory] [Revert] [Delete] [RecentChanges]
