Updated WiFi Database

03 Jul

Making slow progress on the database as you can you from the image to the left. I need to get a car charger or second battery. Using blue-tooth and wifi really sucks up the juice. I run out of power just over halfway of scanning Alfredton I’ll finish it off over the weekend. The total now is up to 1550 hot-spots. I now see how nuts it must of been for the google street view cars.

 
 

Updated WiFi

28 Jun

Updated my WiFi Hot-spots database on Friday. I went back and did a couple of streets I missed last time I still have a couple more to fix up. Also scanned one of the newest Neighborhoods. I now have a total of 1093 hot-spots. If all of Ballarat is like this it shouldn’t be hard to hit close to 10,000 hot-spots. I’m not using the best setup either as I’m not using an external aerial so I could still be missing some low quality signals.

 
 

WiFi

21 Jun

Been awhile since I’ve made some contribution to the site. Been busy with a heap of different jobs. One of the jobs is I have been slowly mapping Wifi points around town. The image to the left is just a little sample of what I’ve done so far. Still have a heap to map out. Its going to take me awhile longer to finish as I only get a couple of hours a week to map them.

The tools are fairly easy to use. Laptop with Wifi, GPS (I have a blue-tooth GPS), Vistumbler, & Google Earth.

Couple of skate YouTube clips

16 Nov

First clip is a little old I never got around to posting it up till now. Its from the start of the month. You get to see some of my fancy foot work near the end :) The bullet camera is mounted on my right Bont Semi-Race boot. Using just the flap that covers the laces. (Warning if you get motion sickness you might not want to watch this as it has lots of motion when I skate instead of roll)

Second one is from today. The last video I made of this hill was at 1am and the image wasn’t the greatest. I didn’t set out to do this downhill run but I was close by so what the hell. There is a strong headwind as you will hear. So I only managed about 50km/h.

Ballarat GayVille Captial of the World

10 Oct

That’s right its right here in my home town who would of guessed. It seems this whole town likes to tell me they are gay or a fagget. It happens mostly when I skate but I have also had it while in my car.

I know what the problem is. Its because I’m doing something different to everyone else around here. Sure its good to have your own opinion on issues etc. Maybe sometimes keeping your opinion to your self is better you don’t wanna end up looking like a fool. I’m sure what I’m currently doing when I’m within 100 feet of you isn’t a major issue that I need to hear about.

This is how it is around here. If you don’t drive a holden V8 your gay. If you don’t play football or cricket or any sport classed as a blokes sport (never mind your team mate cuddling you or patting you on the ass because you scored a goal). Did I mention your totally gay if you don’t drive a V8. I have several videos of examples that I may post up on YouTube at sometime. This whole town needs to go out and get some real world experience. But then again you might get to scared of all the scary so called gay people out there.

And just for your information last time I checked I had no interest in any sort of sexual relationship with another male. So don’t bother telling me what your sexual preferance is.
