Busily Working...

Posted by Kaya Kupferschmidt • Tuesday, February 15. 2005 • Category: General
So there have been a couple of days without an entry in my blog. I really wanted to update it on a frequent basis, so here a little status update, what is happening "behind the scenes".

1. My new notebook was WLAN support, so I was thinking that it would be nice to have a WLAN access point. First I was considering to build one myself based on a little ITX form factor PC running Linux that has a MiniPCI slot. So I bought a MiniPCI Atheros based WLAN card, but it does not seem to work correctly, maybe simply because I still don't have an antenna (it is not so easy to get one that has the right connectors and isn't too expensive).

Currently I am considering to buy a Zyxel ZyAir WLAN Access Point. These are a bit more expensive than the ones produced by Netgear, D-Link etc, but Zyxel products offer very nice professional features not found at the other products, unless you spend a lot of money for 3Com, Cisco etc.

I already have a Zyxel Prestige 310 Router for my DSL access, and although it is already getting old, it still rocks. It has such nice features like a serial console, a telnet interface which is far more powerful than the web interface, multiple IP adresses (which enables different subnets), etc.



2. I am still working on two subprojects: One is to get culling done (I made some huge progress concerning view frustum culling) and the other is to get some more interesting effects out of the spring systems.
