Manchester Wireless Octoberfest

A meeting in the Southern half of Manchester is now long overdue, so Tuesday 7th we will be meeting in the Ducie Arms at 7:30ish.

The pub is on Devas St (just off Lloyd St North), behind John Rylands Library.

An A-Z map can be found here

The pub is reputed to be wirelessly enabled, so bring along your wireless toys, your questions, and your enthusiasm for solving the worlds problems with WiFi.

A reasonable turnout for the meeting - I brought my camera this time, but forgot to take any pictures [doh!].

The Ducie was wireless enabled, but I think the less said about the network the better. In short it didn't work - According to Darren and his portable spectrum analyser we were being DOSed at Layer 1 by the microwave oven upstairs.

After much discussion about why it isn't a good idea for Andy to set up a wired network across a row of terraces, we headed into Rusholme and the remains of the group got stuck into a late night curry at Sangam.
