Bastard Sons of Dial-Up

I am letting the cat out of the bag. I don't know how the hell it got in there, but I think it is time for it to come out. One of the faithful BSoD'ers let Metageek know about our 2.4Ghz videos... In return they sent me (Foxx) a refurb' Wispy 2.4x, and Ophidian a brand new unreleased model they are working on. It is really nice to see a small but faithful company paying it forward like this! Their gesture is a real showcase of how things SHOULD be. We didn't ask for one, never intended on even getting anything in return, but they went above and beyond and did something noble for us. Many of you on IRC already know some of the projects I have been cooking up with my WiSpy, now I can't say they will be full featured segments on BSoD, but bet your ass it will definitely make it on the show during the series. Either way its nice to see community support from them. Every little encouragement helps, even getting a thank you from a company that sees we are not promoting things because we are being paid to do it, but because we stand behind them, and in return they stand behind us.

For those of you that dont know, the WiSpy is a USB 2.4GHz Spectrum analyzer. It allows you to physically see how much of the 2.4GHz band is being eaten up by other devices. This was showcased in episode 19. Definitely a must-have tool for any wifi installer, or wireless warrior. They also support homebrew coders, there is a lot of cross platform support and homebrew software that is epic-bad-ass.
