Elmwood Wireless Network
Here's what I've been thinking about, at Pano's.
Wireless Elmwood Network
First, I heard that caffe aroma has wireless internet, at least I think I did.
Does anyone know if it is free? We have free internet by the (e:strip) headquaters on elmwood and lafayette and I think Off the Wall has it to.
Anyone interested in helping develop a huge free internet zone before some corporate crackhead does? Let's set up a meeting. I think we could do it really cheaply and maybe even get a grant if we tie it in with the site and community somehow.
I imagine the site being the homepage for the giant network. It would be a great way for a free network to represent the people on it and not some lame advertising.
The worst case scenario, is some corporates make the site and when you sign on, you are bombarded with corporate propaganda / advertisements such as M&T offering you free checking. I think we need to act before it happens. Imagine, it would be like living in a virtual pop-up zone. I bet you could get whiplash from the pop-up waves.
Which brings me to the point that I think elmwood would be much better with a giant parking lot on one end or both ends, and then have a limited traffic zone. When I lived in Flensburg, Germany for school, they had a terrific area like this. People might say there is no room for parking, I say just use up part of the street. Deliveries can happen at night. Similar to what Ithica has downtown.
The streets here suck anyways. Look at the picture I captured below as I practically trip over the pot-holes writing this on my way down the street.
Anyone, care to discuss this?

Trash Can
die. Nothing is trashier than stealing a garbage can.
I want it back, if I find you with my garbage can the wrath of the
digital mafia will consume you.
Please bring it back to my house before Thursday.

Forever Elmwood Info
In response to [inlink]robin,179[/inlink] .
A lot of (e:people) seem to have anomosity towards forever elmwood, especially when it involves the Elmwood Art Festival or the Coop. Maybe some of the rest of you know more about it? I missed the 80's on elmwood, so I can't really say how it was? How about the rest of you?

Mishaps in Banner Land
Some of the (e:peeps) came over tonight for a corn and shrimp roast. We had some problems with the lighter fluid/coal situation and ended up with some weirdly toxic veggies. Everything else was delicious.
Maidencateyes, also added a banner, it's of a flower at Buffalo state. Kind of pink and purplish.
More people signed up. I think there are probably even more coming in the near future, as everyone is not as wired as me. Some people actually have to go home to use the internet. Must be a tragic life, I can't imagine anymore. Oh wait, I can imagine, that is what camping is like, lol.

UB Micro Windows XP Giveaway
that we actually already bought windows XP. Tina alerted me that As a
UB student we get free copies of Office XP Pro. Well free as in we
already paid for it with our student technology fee. So we headed out
today and got our copies. It only cost 3.00 for the CD and I got a copy
of Office 2003 Pro as well. What else am I paying for and don't know
about?

Sound Stuff
Plus I really think that people don't always have the quicktime or equivalent plugin due to its bigger download size while the flash player seems to be everywhere and mostly preinstalled. Any feelings about this from the (e:peeps)? I know its not open source, but neither is quicktime and both are free.

Drinking Tent
bunch of interviews, here is a quick moblog capture of the drinking
tent. We handed out a bunch of lyers too. I think that we will have a
stand for the eelwmmod art festival. I kind of regret not having one
here

Before the Sun Went Down
Here is a link to the video, I want a streaming video server so bad. Anyone have a rich daddy with a T! connection? I have the fancy server, it justs needs to get a line. Maybe someday we can have a fundraiser and get money for the connection. Any ideas?
After the sun went down, the banner lit up, then the bulb burned out. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
