A Banner Week for Me

This week I met a goal that I have been trying to do for the last 9 years. I finally opened a public hotspot in a resteraunt. While some would say so what I say horray!  There have been a lot of obstiacals but things finally came together when I discovered Open-Mesh. The devices are now at the right price point to make something like this possible. The really nice thing is that the devices mesh together so you can cover larger spaces.  While getting the access point is place is a big deal this is only the tip of the iceburg for my grand plan. Next steps are to modify a version of the dashboard software they use so I can do some intersting things to the individual nodes and to setup a proxy server for the whole network.

So then next time you are in Arlington Heights IL stop by the Tuscan Market and Wine shop and enjoy some good wine, food and wifi.
