I’ve finally got around to creating my own WiFi HotSpot!

Tomizone allows you to create your own HotSpot, allowing any user of the public to access wireless internet generating revenue for you.

This is especially good for people such as cafe or chain operators who want to give their customers access to wireless internet at low cost and minimal setup. I bought a Linksys WRT54GL for about AUD $80, loaded the free firmware from the Tomizone website, and away you go.

For more information see www.tomizone.com
For a list of available hotspots see http://locate.tomizone.com

Mozy gives you 2GB of completely free online storage.

This is great for off-site automatic secure backups. I only wish I had found it earlier!

I use the Three mobile network here in Australia, and sometimes use my Nokia E65 mobile phone with my notebook to connect to the internet.

Normally I connect my mobile phone to my notebook via Bluetooth, and use the Bluetooth modem to dialup.

To dial up, you need to use a specific dial-up number, which I always forget. So, for the convenience of everyone, and myself, here are the dial-up numbers when using the mobile as a dial-up modem.

For Nokia handsets use: *99#
For Sony Ericsson handsets use: *99***2# or *99***1#

I have not tested other makes but I believe *99# will work.

Psiphon is a human rights project designed to bypass censoring blocks to the internet, and promote freedom of speech in censoring countries. It works by routing encrypted traffic via a country where the content is not censored allowing the user to visit whatever site the user deems appropiate and not it’s govenment.

Psiphon is open-source and developed by Citizen Lab who offer it as a free download from their website, http://psiphon.civisec.org/

The average consumer camera is now around 5 megapixels. Imagine that times 500.
