I have had a couple of emails wanting to know how the stop smoking project is going and so far I can say that this time is a lot easier than the other 5 or 6 6imes that I have tried to stop. Yes I still have not had a smoke and things are getting better, or that is what I am telling myself anyway. Yes I still catch myself grabbing for a smoke at times that I know are just “habit grabs”. Those many times that I just lit up because it is what I used to do. Sure it is a bugger to quit but hey if I can do it, it can’t be that hard if done, First when you Want to quit, and Second you find a method that fits your mindset. I chose the lozenges this time and that seems to be the key to me so far, and I will give you up dates as the weeks go on, trust me.

Glenn Fleishman from Wireless Networking News sez, “My colleague Adam Engst and I are releasing our book The Wireless Networking Starter Kit as a free download. We wrote this edition in 2004, and sales weren’t strong enough to promote further editions in print. However, we felt that it was still timely enough to give away. The book covers planning a Wi-Fi network, setting it up, security considerations, and adding antennas or more base stations to increase coverage and range. (What’s not included? Much about WPA security and anything about 802.11n.) We haven’t put it into Creative Commons because we share licensing with our publisher, but it’s free for distribution.” Link (Thanks, Glenn!)

A good read for those of you that are nervous about setting and maintaining a wireless network. Baldy
