posting to the b network & reading the b network

If you get connected to the wifi b network, i suggest visiting my "b" blog. That's where i post stuff that would cause me problems on the regular Internet.

Even though the b network is open, since it uses ad-hoc wifi, it doesn't rely on the Internet backbone. This frees me to say things that Verizon (which owns the backbone) and politicians wouldn't allow.

My blog is at http://[::1]/wordpress

The address may seem a little funny. That is because it uses IPv6. i'm running apache2 webserver along with radvd for router discovery. It all runs on my laptop! Since my laptop runs the webserver software, the localhost address leads to the content, in this case my unexpurgated blog.

One nice thing about doing it this way.. i can run the webserver on my own computer, and host my own content. This helps to reduce the price of bandwidth and storage, since the transport mechanism is wifi.

There is no charge for sharing packets on an ad-hoc network.

the local IPv6 address

Please consider joining the ad-hoc network named "b"

It is meant to be a free alternative to the monopolized Internet. Go to your wireless connection, and choose to create a new network. Name the new network "b". Turn on Ad-Hoc mode and turn off the wireless encryption, so that is an open network. Thanks!

It may take awhile before a lot of web pages show up, because there isn't an infrastructure connection to the old-fashioned Internet, but in time that won't matter, as people begin to publish on the new network.

since we are going to be in Afghanistan forever

i guess since we are going to be in Afghanistan forever then it isn't likely that Bush's Secretary of Defense will be leaving anytime soon.. so there isn't much hope of me being paid for the cepstral database. Isn't everyone else willing to give away their life's work, for which they've struggled to become highly educated? (in my case, it was lots of math and electrical engineering). That would be nice, because i would like to see a doctor, though i haven't any money.

Maybe i should just give it away for love of country, like i did with the E911/GPS combination. Although that was of arguable value, since the communist republicans just took it and abused it, building JDAMs and bombing civilians, and then spying on everyone's cell phone location. At least the military guys assure me that it saved some lives.

As i love my country maybe i should just keep my mouth shut. If ya can wait for the database, then i can wait for the republican to be out of office.

meanwhile i guess i will invent a new database, just to fill the time.. or, maybe another internet standard or two.. like i did with IPv6 or the 802.16.

That will fulfill the republican manifesto; from me according to my ability, and to me not at all.

Robert Gates hired by George Bush

ya this guy was Bush's Secretary of Defense. President Obama let him keep him job. why?

turned on a mobile ad hoc network

the b network.. it uses software from the wi-fi standard that didn't seem to catch on.. interestingly, it is the software used to establish communications after Hurricane Katrina, though it was promptly dropped when wireline service came back up.. i think they are scared of some mythical "router state" theory even though it didn't turn out that way. i run mine on my laptop. named "b", after the old wi-fi standard.
