Farm News 11-26-06
Sunday morning, after chores
Oh, my! I forgot to mail Farm News this morning.
Bunnies!
Suzette produced nine little bunnies Saturday night, just in time to make the news. Cupping both hands together, it is possible to pile in five bunnies. They wiggle and squirm a lot but make no noise. In a week they will be moving around quite a bit in the nest box. At ten days their eyes open.
Thanksgiving
Our feast is nothing compared to that of the chickens. They receive buckets of garbage with a joyous celebration of their good fortune.
Neighborhood Networks
I've been busy recently working on Neighborhood Networks. All us poor country folk are living out here, often in squalid, near-poverty conditions, without the benefits of modern society, such as the internet. Well, by golly, I'm going to fix the internet part that, and then some.
A Neighborhood Network is a 'sub-internet' for a neighborhood. It acts just like the big internet, and it also has special services that are not available to the rest of the internet. And, the Neighborhood Network is owned by the people who use it, the people of a neighborhood.
A Neighborhood Network is a collection of hardware, software, and communications links that provides the members of a neighborhood both internet access and membership based services. These networks make use of wireless links, allowing the members to access the network not only from their homes but from their cars, trucks, boats, and motorcycles.
The Neighborhood Network is more than just a high speed connection to the internet, it is also an even higher speed connection between neighbors. Because only members can access certain network services it is possible to offer those services without the dangers of penetration by internet vandals.
A server, the property of the neighborhood association, provides POP email addresses of the sort resident@ LakeSideHills.org, hosts web pages for members, operates a neighborhood bulletin board, and has both solitary and group games online.
Chat Rooms serve a need to communicate with each other. Many people use Yahoo! and MSN chat and messenger services. The Neighborhood Network Server has a chat server, customized to the community, and client software that works with Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ, and most other chat systems. Additionally, it provides high quality voice and video connections inside the neighborhood.
The network has game servers online, also. Bridge tournaments, poker games, board games like chess and checkers, and dozens of other games are available. The game center is not restricted to residents, although an invitation from a resident is necessary to join a game.
Children's content can be selected and filtered at the neighborhood server, before it is sent to your home. The children's chat areas can be blocked from general internet traffic. Interactive games for children are available from the neighborhood server, and all of it can be selected by the neighborhood.
A bulletin board is on the server, an easy way to publish announcements and items for sale. Notes on the bulletin board can carry links to pictures in the photo album on the server.
Several optional services are being considered. One is a local weather station connected to the server to provide current local conditions. For seniors, wakeup circles are often appreciated. A wakeup circle is a calling circle that insures that each member is awake and moving about each morning.
