Let’s WARCHALK!

June 26, 2002 by Michael Boyle

from BlackBeltJones. Warchalking is a proposed graffiti language for pointing to wireless hubs in the city. It’s an extension of wardialing (the old hacker practice of phoning numbers to see what’s on the other end) and wardriving – driving around to find wireless (802.11b) access points – merged with the old hobo symbols that were used to let others know of dangers or good things in an area.

June 21, 2002 by Michael Boyle

today for anyone who enjoys literature in the English language. Timothy Findley has died at age 71, of complications following a broken hip. Time to dip back into my library and re-read some of his best novels – Famous Last Words, Telling of Lies, or my favourite, Not Wanted on the Voyage.
