Hello world :)
I’m Thanasis, code name “tweety” ;) , I’m from Greece and this is my tiny tiny tiny www space. Welcome and relax (especially if you have a 22” tft ;) ) or just pick up the info you are searching for and good luck… This blog will be mainly about computer science (you know all that boring windows, network and brilliant linux stuff), everyday problems I find and their solutions - unless it isn’t my lucky day ! And of course nothing about the weather, how ugly our world is and if aliens live among us :D
So, here we are. In this blog, there are hints about wireless networks everywhere (more will be added soon). Yes, I’m a member of Patras Wireless Metropolitan Network (aka PWMN). The consept is to provide wireless networking to Patras, Patras suburbs, near villages, towns, provinces and finally Athens. Athens as you probably don’t know has one of the greatest wireless networks in the world, Athens Wireless Metropolitan Network (aka AWMN) . We have about 40 backbone nodes, 100 simple nodes (active) and 170 forums users with new wireless users coming everyday and helping to expand our network. The whole network has a voluntary character, everyone helps whatever and whenever wants - it is like an internet micrography where the backbone routers are base stations - routers, which are provided by people who want to contribute their knowledge, free time, equipment and money 24/7 TOTALLY FREE to the community. That’s the magic of the story… Of course it will be better if the local municipality helped but we live in Greece, “these things” move rather slowly :P
So for the time being just take a look at the photos, the gallery WPG2 and the links to learn more about our community
