Life, the universe and everything - Technical Ambitions

For the last few weeks now I have come across a multitude of people saying that they have had enough of Facebook. Well my sentiment so far is that they have probably just spent half their year on it and that is why they feel that way. There is a million things to do on Facebook. That does not mean that you have to do them all.

As soons as you have raced away all the races allowable in an app like petrolheads then maybe it is going a little too far. Specially if you should happen to do this as part of your ritual every night or day. These apps will keep you busy and drive you insane.

Now for what I actually wrote this article for.

When you have an application such as Facebook in front of you, the only thing I as a programmer can think, is why the hell did I not think of it. It is certainly one of the most exciting advents of the century so far. Imagine having millions of eyes on your cyber estate every day. It must be the fastest money spinner ever.

If it is the last thing I do, it will be to write an app on Facebook. My thoughts are whether the app could attract so many people that it could make a difference to my bank balance. I guess if I come up with the right concept then just maybe it could.

I think Facebook has enourmous potential and therefore I am all for it still. I reserve my judgement but so far I love it.

I have tried unsuccesfully a number of wireless monitoring software packages. After a search on the internet for suitable packages that would work with Vista, I came across a fantastic blog by Martin Sauter (Wireless Solutions Consultant). Martin wrote and article about layer 1 tracing on wireless networks at Martin Sauter Blog.

Then I stumbled across Wireless Mon from Passmark.com and this works well on Vista. Click here to download Wireless Mon

I am currently using the trial version and i like the way it is set up. The software package is really great and well thought out. Thanks guys.
