April 28, 200917 yr So what's the cool place to crash at? I think I've managed to get myself a ride to Cali!
April 28, 200917 yr You're going to turn an airport extreme into a 5ghz 802.11n access point? Didn't apple do that when they built it?
April 28, 200917 yr So what's the cool place to crash at? I think I've managed to get myself a ride to Cali! The only cool place is the meet hotel. Plenty of people out there who might share a room or a couch or whatever.
April 28, 200917 yr right now it's more like: $300 in plane tickets $150 in hotels $100 in food 1,000 hour honey-do list when I return = not worth it
April 28, 200917 yr You're going to turn an airport extreme into a 5ghz 802.11n access point? Didn't apple do that when they built it? I should clarify. I have an Airport Extreme already that was set up for a mixed 802.11g/n network at 2.4Ghz using WPA/PSK encryption. I wanted to change to a 5Ghz 802.11n network but I have too much wireless stuff like iPhone, Wii, Nintendo DS, XV6800 pda phone etc that wont work on 5Ghz (but have 5 macs, an ATV and AP Express that will). Blutarsky loaned me the second extreme when he got the dual radio version, and this will replace the Ativa. So one Extreme will be set to run 5Ghz 802.11n for all the new Macs + Apple TV + the newer Airport Express; and one will be set to 2.4Ghz mixed n+g for the older Airport Express, iPhone, Wii, DS, and Verizon XV6800. One will be used as the router and one will be the access point plugged into the back of the router. I will have all the gear on the 5Ghz network fall back to the 2.4Ghz network if the macbooks stray too far from the 5Ghz signal. The plan was if I liked the setup I could trade him for the spare Extreme, or I could sell my old Extreme, return his, and fork over $195 after taxes for a dual radio version. He already has 6 tubes of mine on loan that are worth over $100 but he wasn't sure he wanted to trade for all the tubes, so I might have to put up more trade or cash in addition to the tubes that he'd like. Since I paid for the hotel room, he can pay me cash or pay me with an Extreme.
April 28, 200917 yr Ah. I'm running a ufo extreme and a 1st gen N extreme for a similar network in my house. AppleTV, 2 airport expresses, lots of random devices.

April 29, 200917 yr whatever in plane tickets some more in hotel food can be mooched hanging out for two full days and nights with friends I rarely get to see = one of life's rare pleasure moments. Absolutely worth it!
April 29, 200917 yr I'm scratching my head over coming to Canjam or not. Having missed out on the special room price wont help, but if it's only one night, it wont kill me. Plane tickets from Japan are cheap, surprisingly. Would be good to meet everyone face to face and try out all the gear I've only read about for a year and a half.

I am not sure why you think there is no more discount, but I would be persistent on that one. They slot in a block of rooms at the discount, then when those are filled they add more. Ping 909 or jp11801 for a definitive answer.
April 29, 200917 yr When I priced it out online a couple of nights ago, the discount was still available. I do note, however, that the first time I did it, the discount was not reflected.

The room discounts are still available. Try again and if that dosen't work, PM JP#s or me and we will take care of it for you. Nice how I volunteer John for these things?

April 30, 200917 yr Anyone know how to buy a couple of segments on Southwest? Saving my AA miles for something pricier.
May 4, 200917 yr Also, I don't think Dan minds sharing his bed.Is that what he told you? Of course, I think I offered you my bed once, too, so who the hell am I to talk?
May 4, 200917 yr haven't bought my tickets yet, need to know specifically if there is a place for me to crash, and what the time frame for said place is, before i do so, otherwise i'll get a hotel room (which i don't wanna do, as i'm broke). gonna make it either way. Gene and I offered you the couch, fold-out, floor, tub, or whatever we will have available in our room. You're set, buddy.
