Hi there,
This is my first ever post on the BAWUG-list since I joined, so I better present myself huh?! ;) So, my name's Henrik Leghissa, I'm 23 years old, a half swedish / italian-slovenian boy living presently in Sweden. Work-wise I'm running a business within the e-marketing, strategy and usability fields. (Yepp, I know - it sounds pretty vague, but oh well... if anyone wants to know more , he / she can contact me in private) What more? Well, I am a musician - I play the drums and also write the lyrics nowerdays for Twilight Symphony. If you're interested you can find some older songs on http://www.mp3.com/twilightsymphony Our new material will also be presented there as well, and the possibility to order our new songs on cd will also be put up, as soon as we are done and happy with that stuff! In short and basics, music is one of my neurotic passions here in life! ;) Okay, enough of that... I joined the BAWUG-list because I want to know more about wireless networks, the technology behind them, the technology and ethics connected with running these w-lans, what drives individuals to set up free of charge hotspots. I think this is a great thing myself, though where I live there are none like these, except for in the next town university. I will of course open my AP for other people to use!!!! I have some questions, the first one is for a friend of mine. She wants to get some kind of Internet-connection where she lives, which is in the Glen Park district in San Francisco. Yes, if you want to know how I know this woman - please ask in private, okay?! :) So back to what I was saying; I was telling her the different options, because she wants a "higher speed than modem"-connection which either means; cable, dsl or wireless in her case. The cable-version is probably out of the question, the dsl-connection probably will be very expensive (she's a student still, so you can guess how the money situation can be), so therefor I came to think about you guys and the BWUG! (strange eh? hee) I now wonder if you can help me with this, tell what to do, if there are any maps or similar that can show where the hotspots are located in SF, and if it's possible for her to get connected. I was up a whole night looking for different dsl isps for her count, and I know wonder if you got some to recommend especially, I mean if the whole wireless-thing is not possible to arrange some how. Please know that any help is highly appreciated!!! Please answer my questions in private, when I don't know how "on topic" this thread might become. I ask this when I don't want to taint the main objectives of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have another question about me setting up my first ever w-lan at my parents house, though I will take this in a separate email, I don't want to ask for "too much" here in the beginning! Before I end this, my first ever email to the list, I want to tell you that I've learned a lot from sitting here reading all you guys the posts to the list!!!! Some of you guys have a cool sense of humor which I like!!!! Thanks in advance, and have a lovely weekend!!!!
