[MLB-WIRELESS] Ignorance is bliss

[Justin]

Well said.

 I'm hoping now that there has been a delivery of cards, people will start
to do some of the things we have been talking about.

 I've got my cards, and I want to play :) I'm interested in getting a
directional antenna and setting it up and point it to someone. My node is
EGE, I'd like to try and set something up with someone close to Knox City.
Hint, next week when it's dark, please look towards Knox City. If you can
see the flood lights at the footy ground south of Knox City then there is a
good chance we can do something. :)

 However, I want an IP address range for my setup. Can the working group
please finalise something? Net 10 with 16 nodes sounds great. What about
point to point links? Can we expand on the great little tool the Geelong
folks have setup for IP allocation?

Thanks. Oh and Shane, thanks again for arranging the cards. You lead by
example.

Regards,
Gaz.

When the mailing list goes down and you don't know about it, ignorance
is bliss.
When government departments start discussing your actions and you are
unaware of it, ignorance is bliss.
When they try and outlaw your actions due to newly passed laws,
ignorance is bliss.
And when they try and take you down for not conforming, ignorance is
bliss.

However if you were to listen to every single discussion about the
mater, although being well informed. Chances are you would not do
anything constructive, your desires to partake in a community based
venture such as this would be held back for concern of prosecution and
you would most likely end up living in IRC waiting for the latest bit of
gossip just so you feel that your actions are well founded and in no way
cross any theoretical boundary's which may land you in hot water.

For those of you who don't know, I recently took a break from all this
and found it to be the most enlightening experience. I finally managed
to do something about wireless instead of dreaming about it.  What can I
say, technology has it's good points and it's bad ones.

What drives YOU to be part of melb-wireless???
Are you still driven? or do you simply want to discus the possibilities?

It's great to have those people with all the answers to all the
questions, but lets face it discussions are not as important as actions.
