Hello everybody.
I’ve been a little busy lately (you know, all that university things…), and this blog (as long as the italian one) has been a little bit neglected. This post is just to say that I’m working on a new theme, and, once it’s ready, I will be back with new posts and reviews!
This week I decided to change phone. My 1-year-old Nokia N73 was driving me crazy, since its lack of responsiveness (12 seconds to switch display on after unlocking keyboard) and its useless battery (two days at “full charge” and then suddenly switching off in 3 hours). Plus a lot of annoying bugs (sms time, as an example) that Nokia never fixed. Read the rest of this entry »
There’s something I will never understand: why Linksys hardware is so good while in the meantime the firmware is a total failure. I mean, I am a proud owner of a Linksys AG241 router, which is by far one of the best (cheap) piece of hardware I’ve ever seen. But the firmware looks like a bad-written Microsoft software, full of bug and problems, and the patch release cycle can be measured in geologic era. Read the rest of this entry »

With the rapid growth and great diffusion of wireless coverage, a key topic is whether or not you should keep open your wireless connection, allowing strangers to use your bandwidth if they want. Many people think that this is very harmful, many other think that it’s only a matter of basic politeness, like offering a hot cup of tea. Read the rest of this entry »
In this very hot day, after having given the Network Security exam this morning, I was surfing on the web in the 3rd building at UNITN with Nicola, when we came up with the idea to measure how much bandwidth we can dispose of through the faculty wireless connection. Read the rest of this entry »
And now, “another brick in the wall” of the Fonera posts! After some days of testing and Googling, I’ve figured out that a working implementation of the Fon capabilities on a Fonera running DDWRT doesn’t exist. Sometimes Chillispot is broken, sometimes the Heartbeat function doesn’t work, and so on. Read the rest of this entry »
Is there anybody out there who knows a working configuration to put inside the DDWRT firmware on a Fonera (2100), to allow Fon access on the second SSID and with a working Heartbeat support?
In these days I’m playing a little bit with my shiny Fonera, trying to switch off the private signal. The main reason is that I already have a Linksys router, with DD-WRT firmware, which broadcasts my private signal, along with a second open SSID with limited internet access (only web, mail and IM) for guests (yes, I believe in a world full of joy and hope).
