Just as you probably are, I am the resident geek on my block. My neighbors on either side, not surprisingly, relied on me to help set up wireless networks in their Victorian homes. Right now, I can sit in my office, less than 100 feet from each of them, and see their WiFi access points strobing away on my computer screen. And like any hacker worth his bits, I of course left a backdoor into each network, 'Just in case you need me to troubleshoot something.' Yeah, right. But at least I told them. And neither the obstetrician nor the Presbyterian minister thought anything of it. I wondered how many more simultaneous connections I could make?
