They needed to know that UK artist / gamesters Blast Theory could run their new game Rider Spoke in the area. Of course they could. Is Sydney some kind of colonial backwater?
We took an Eee PC connected to an old Garmin III running Kismet. Lid down. Earpiece pinging. Raining. Shoes with holes. I’m certainly glad the police didn’t tap me on the shoulder. Go rider!
We post-processed the logs in Python to generate Google Earth KML files depicting the coverage. For an old girl the Rocks is certainly rocking to the WiFi.
