La Fonera is a nifty little gadget that lets you get hooked up to the FON Wifi community, which is a network of publicly available wifi hotspots maintained by volunteers. However there are some problems when using it with a Mac, and specifically a MacBook it seems. After wrestling with this over the weekend I thought I should post my experiences.
Last week I helped Eamon Ryan get up and running with a quick wordpress.com web log to post updates from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, currently underway in Nairobi. He’s taken to it pretty quickly, with at least one post per day so far: Eamon Ryan’s Blog
Joe McCarthy has published a web site with a wealth of information on two issues close to my heart: electronic voting and incineration. Aptly named fiasco.ie, it contains documents compiled from Joe’s freedom of information requests on eVoting, and extracts from his submission to An Bord Pleanála on the proposed incinerator at Poolbeg.
It all makes for interesting reading. And if that whets your appetite, you can read the submission I drafted for John Gormley on the incinerator.
