Though missing from the blog for a while, I have yet to achieve my off the grid, hermetic existence.I have moved into the concrete windowless box that I store things in, have hooked up a toilet, and from the sink a rudimentary shower ( a cold water only kitchen sink sprayer) though my biggest achievement thus far is my construction of two wifi finding antennas. The first is a combination of an abandoned Dish network dish, with the horn replaced with an old tv top aerial rabbit ears and ring, soldered together by way of an old Ethernet cable, and from there soldered to the wifi antenna card in my desktop. the second I found in a junk store, is an aluminum Christmas tree type deal, that I mounted to a spare bit of angle iron, and there to an aluminum pole, connected with a length of fire control 18ga wire to the same wifi lead as the parabolic antenna.
By virtue of typing this, it works, I have found free, guest wifi floating about, and can post here to tell you about it. it is dicey, and intermittent so fine tuning is in order, but for now, IT IS ALIVE! pictures to follow.. hee hee, I am very pleased with myself at the moment.
