Create an Instant Wireless Network with WiPeer by Britec

Create an Instant Wireless Network with WiPeer by britec.co.uk

http://www.wipeer.com

An interesting new wireless networking software system called WiPeer is now available. WiPeer allows your computer to easily set up and join ad hoc WiFi networks for peer to peer file sharing. WiPeer doesn’t work across the Internet; instead; it connects computers only in close proximity of a few hundred yards or meters with the goal of avoiding wireless access points and simplifying local area networking. Created by researchers at the prestigious Technion in Israel, WiPeer supports Windows XP computers now and will hopefully support other kinds of computers and mobile devices later.

1. Connect to the network, while chosing between wireless (WiFi) and Ethernet, where in the case of wireless, either connecting to an existing access point, or forming a peer-to-peer (also known as ad-hoc) network, in which no infrastructure is involved. It is possible to either join a public network, in which anyone can participate, or create and join private groups.

2. View the other currently connected users, through the “on-line users” tab.

3. Define contact persons and see which of these contatcs is also connected at any given moment, through the “Contacts” tab.

4. Chat either with specific persons, or create and join public chat rooms.

5. Share files either to everyone or to individual users.

6. Searching for documents based on key-words. Only documents that have been exported will be displayed. This capability requires running Google’s desktop search application.

7. Managing your own user profile.

8. Discovering your nearby Facebook friends through the peersonalizer feature.

9. Additional external applications, including games, as appears in the “applications” menu.

Robert Taylor: Network Visionary

Posted on June 4th, 2010 by admin in links and networking | 7 Comments »

[Recorded May 13, 2010]
Bob Taylor planned to be a Methodist minister like his father. Instead, he became an evangelist for an idea that changed the world: easy-to-use computers that talk to each other. “I was never interested in the computer as a mathematical device, but as a communication device,” Taylor said. Taylor’s interests — and his genius for getting them funded — helped develop computer networking, the personal computer, and many of the other technologies that drove the global computer revolution.

As director of ARPA’s Information Processing Techniques office, Taylor funded Doug Engelbart, inventor of the mouse and co-inventor of many of the aspects of computing we take for granted today from clickable links to multiple windows. Taylor then hired networking pioneer Larry Roberts to oversee the ARPAnet project — the first major experiment in general computer networking, and a key ancestor of the Internet.

As founder of the Xerox PARC Computer Systems Laboratory, Taylor went on to recruit and manage the hot-tempered brigade of geniuses who developed the set of features so familiar on our Mac and Windows machines today, including the graphical user interface, Ethernet and laser printing. He also oversaw important work in connecting networks to each other.

In this candid and far-ranging discussion with Guy Raz, the weekend host of NPR’s All Things Considered, Taylor shares his life stories and discusses the process of fostering innovation and the evolution of radical technologies.
