So I was talking to one of the Clearwire technicians that my company deals with and we discussed a variety of things from the future of internet connection to the future of the computer. One of the biggest things that the computers of the future will need is a non-stop connection to the internet. As the Clearwire technician stated this is the basic idea of what they are trying to do.

Attended my first ECLUG (Eau Claire Linux User Group) today and it was very enjoyable. ECLUG is a group for people in the Eau Claire area that are into Linux and open source. Check out the website for a little more information on the group.: http://eclug.homelinux.org/ There ended up being 9 people at the meeting tonight all snuggled together into the back room at the Cafe 420 down town Eau Claire. The room worked fine as it has a projector to hook a laptop up for easy display of items that are talked about.

I am currently writing this blog on a Windows Vista computer because being a computer store we need to learn the new interface. After a few months of using it I can safely say stay away if you can, as the over all experience for us has not been good.

We finally have our IPCOP box setup and running as our Firewall / Router. So far it has been working great as it allows us to have a true hardware firewall basically for free.

If your not sure what IPCOP is check out: http://ipcop.org/index.php?module=pnWikk...

We have also added Update Accelerator to the IPCOP box which allows us to cache Windows Updates locally for future windows updates. Check it out: http://www.advproxy.net/update-accelerat...

So far it has been working great accept for it having an issue with windows genuine advantage. Working on finding a fix for this so hopefully it will be working in the near future.
