The FON Router



要"啟動" FON Router (La Fonera) 竟然要用 Wifi 接入?在家中試過用 Palm Tx 同 NDSL 接入都無法成功。無理由....

家中沒有電視,某日晚上九時已睡,早上五時起來。突然發現每天奇蹟也在發生。

FONS Router

朋友們,FON Router 已加價了 ($185 HKD)。

生活態度的追求和體現


昨天有人在 Lamma.com.hk 的中文討論區寫了一篇擇居南丫島: 一種生活態度的追求和體現的文章。寫得很認真,把南丫島讚到天上有地下無:

這一切一切,是厭倦城市煩喧,追求返樸歸真,著重人味的一種生活模式。
擇居於南丫島,的確可說是一種生活態度上的追求和體現。

住南丫島和住市區分別是有,有些市區才有的方便,南丫島便沒有了。但另一方面,我的同事放工全部是"快快走人",坐交通工具要 cost-effective (要快要平,才合乎香港人的 beat)。而我知道自己幾點有船,坐幾耐,坐在船上看中環/香港仔景色漸漸遠去,便提醒自己已經放工,不要把工作帶回家。

但話雖如此,有時也要 VPN 回公司電腦工作。試過一次病了在家工作,哈,一面看自己家外的樹木
,一面工作,很開心,真有衝動回到以前全職做 freelance 的日子。

FONS and Lamma

The FONS wifi router is on sale and only cost $39 + $5!

For those who don't know what FON is: It is the largest WiFi community in the world. Our members share their wireless Internet access at home and, in return, enjoy free WiFi wherever they find another Fonero’s Access Point.

The members of the community are called Foneros. It’s simple to become a Fonero. You just need to buy La Fonera, which enables you to securely and fairly share your home broadband connection with other Foneros. Then when you’re away from home and you need Internet access, just log on to a FON Access Point, and you can use the Internet for free. You don’t need to take your router with you – you just need to remember your Fonero login and password.

Visit the http://maps.fon.com/ and you can find FON hotspot on our mother Earth. Below is a screen shot for the Lamma Island (not too many, we have three and one of them is nearing to me!)

PS: Imagine one day Skype phone works on FONS network, and you can receive Skype call no mater in or out on the street? A dream? Maybe or maybe not.

PS2: And Yes, you can keep your existing WiFI network (or Local Network - LAN) with your WiFi router. You just need to connect your FON router to your existing WiFi router using a network cable. This cable will go from the Internet port of the FON router to an available LAN port of your current WiFi router.
