Connectify

I don’t know how I missed this. This is pretty cool and handy from a tech’s point of view, and from a geek point of view too. Apparently, this software called Connectify uses some new network magic in Windows 7 to create wifi hotspots out of your wireless adapter.I came across this yesterday when I was looking up info on the new Android 2.2 OS update for my Moto Droid that will allow a MiFi style thing to happen on the Droid.

Now I can do it with my phone and my laptop. Neat-o.

This would make a really neat way to crutch a customer whose internet is down, by connecting to a local hotspot, then rebroadcasting – I guess. Its kinda cool, but I’m at a loss to find a functional use for it yet. I guess the idea is that when you need an impromptu hotspot- here you go. From a tech’s perspective: I’ll just keep a wifi router in stock.

What do you think about this? Anyone used it before?

Testing posting from the Droid.

This really isn’t anything but a test post from wpToGo on my droid. Oh, the inane things we do.

Merry Christmas everybody!

I got a Motorola DROID phone to replace the old Motorola Q9c I had.

If the iPhone is the Jesus Phone, then this thing is the God Phone. It is simply phenomenal.

I won’t go into detail of the phone itself here, because world+dog has already done that, but I will say this: The phone is easier to use with Microsoft Exchange features than my previous Microsoft Windows Mobile phone.

I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in.

…

Yeah. I said it. You read it. Wanna fight about it?
