Support:what_is_a_proxy [EUMUS] Chicken of the VNC. Wireless Networks. Edinburgh University Computer Gaming Society. Homebrew antenna shootout. The Shootout My plan was to get relative performance measurements for various designs (including mine) of homebrew antennas for 802.11b (WiFi) wireless networks.
To do this, I setup a wireless link and changed only the antenna- recording each antennas' performance under identical conditions. I didn't compare them to a commercial directional antenna as my only one has a male connector and I don't have the right cable to hook it up yet. The contestants were (click on each for design specifications). The Performance Summary The results surprised me!
In our test, the Flickenger Pringles can did a little better than my modified Pringles design. Of the waveguides, the Nalley's "Big Chunk" took top marks. With these results, I'm convinced that the waveguide design is the way to go for cheap wireless networking. The How To Build your own Tin Can Waveguide WiFi Antenna (Cantenna).

Antenna on the Cheap (er, Chip) Antenna on the Cheap (er, Chip) Rob Flickenger Jul. 05, 2001 05:20 PMPermalink Like many would-be 802.11b hackers, I'm increasingly obsessed with pushing more bits further and faster for less cost (I believe the unofficial goal of our community wireless project is to provide infinite bandwidth everywhere for free.
Of course, there are problems with approaching infinity, but it's still fun to try!) The work that Andrew Clapp and others have done is helping to demystify the ancient black magick of Resonance (i.e. antenna building). And so, over last weekend, some friends and I decided to give it a go for ourselves. (standard disclaimer): Anything you do with your gear is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Anyway, our first run was a direct rip-off of Andrew Clapp's terrific original design (knowing next to nothing about antenna construction, it's helpful to start off with a working known good.)
Once this was up and running, we looked at the design, and of course speculated about ways to optimize it. 250+ working proxies for safe web access from work or school.

BLATANT PLUG FOR JUICE MONKEYS OF EDINBURGH. OK, here’s the deal–if you’re looking for a good place to kick back with a smoothie, a coffee, a frappe, some fresh pastries or a sandwich, and surf the ‘net at the same time while visiting or living in Edinburgh, Scotland, you should pay a visit to Juice Monkeys. Check out their site at JuiceMonkeys.com. I’m loving the decore, the atmosphere, the people who work there, the drinks, and of course, the free Internet access. [ a vid I shot the other day of the interior of the place.] The vid’s a little muddy, but that’s thanks to EvoCam and iMovie. The place is sharp looking, clean and cool. Here’s their address if you’re in the capital of Scotland: 54 Clerk Street Edinburgh EH8 9JB What this means if you’re not familiar with the lay of the land here is that if you’re in the center of Edinburgh (where all the good, old stuff is) go south on North Bridge.
