Alex sees problems ahead

Alex Scoble is using my last post as an example of what he thinks will be a growing problem with wireless gadgets, overcrowded airwaves. If my experience is at all common, I’d say it’s something to be concerned about. I don’t have that many wireless devices in my house going at once. At most a cell phone, my blackberry and the wireless LAN, maybe throw in the cordless landline phone and that’s the most extreme use of wireless at my house at any one time. Generally, so long as they don’t get too close together, I’m alright. I’m betting some of you have more. What have your experiences been?

I’ll be…

  • On the other hand..

    Turns out the network cable wasn’t unplugged, but somehow, someway the data-port just went dead on us. Has this ever happened to you? I’m thinking some sort of electrical short or something from the desk hitting it, but that seems somewhat far-fetched. Especially considering the telephone jack still works fine! I’m not an electrician, so…

    Especially to those of us who grew up with The Clash, aka the “only band that ever mattered”. Joe Strummer died yesterday of an apparent heart attack. Man, I feel a little bit older today. Follow these topics: Uncategorized
