WLAN in Linz

Monday, April 21st, 2003

I found a map of WLANs in Linz. (I live in the middle-left, by the river.) I think I’ve picked up this guy’s WLAN from across the water.

<p>Now that I have <a href="http://www.kismetwireless.net/">Kismet</a> working, my search for a WLAN hotspot was successful. I found an open net just a few metres from my front door.

gtkmm
Lost of people use gtkmm for in-house stuff so we don't get to see it. But I recently found this screenshot of a gtkmm-based GUI that controls an animatronic puppet in this article about Jim Henson's Creature Shop (muppets, etc). It's old so maybe people have seen it before.
