Posted by London 2600 at July 25, 2002 01:25 AMCongrats!!! It was a great bit too.
Posted by Josh Dura at July 25, 2002 02:32 AMyeah props really good insight, now all we need is a more comprehensive guide, like more symbols,distances,max users,bandwidth,radius,op times, private ppl/leech business node, chalking security details and non-operational/accesable nodes seems a bit pointless imho
oh and a jpeg/png of the card so people can view it/print from their browser (this is the internet after all ;)
great job and all the best
I was reading this site before leaving work, jumped in the car, got home, turned on BBC1 and there you were!
It was very strange :-)
Anyway good idea, I will chalk up my AP (although I doubt there is much call beside an A road in the middle of nowhere.)

i saw you on the TV too, very interested i was too.
it's a shame i don't have a laptop.
i think you should have parts on your site were people can learn exactly what it's about, you konw, for techno-eejits that don't have much of a clue
or maybe bit for people who like computer but have no idea about ssid and the bandwidth stuff (like me)
you should teach people, then it would this cool thing would spread more, which is what i think you want.
was Matt Jones actually ont he TV, i thought not...

Posted by Khrysller at July 26, 2002 07:30 PMI've seen it on BBC world that evening. I turned the telly on and the talking head mentioned chalk signs appearing. "Warchalking," I thought. a couple of seconds later, you were smiling in my living room.
People around the whole globe have seen you on TV! :-D
Can you please make some recomendations as to the best software for network discovery on Win based systems. I can find heaps of stuff for linux but would like something that works with Windows.
Love whats happening here
