Absolutely incorrect!

The wifi issues are only going to be a problem if the power levels are really high, as in the large area broadcast wireless networks (campus wide). I have a Linksys wireless router and the XM Satellite radio and it works fine. Besides, if it does become a problem you can always mount the antenna outside a window. And it remote areas that aren't in the repeater network, you'd have to do this anyway. XM has two geosynchronous satellites, one on the east coast and one on the west coast. You could drive from Maine to San Diego and listen to the same station the whole way. The radio truly does rock!

I've been back and forth from DC to Florida twice now with the radio and I can't tell you how much nicer it has made the trip.

Thanx for the info.

Has XM set up in Europe yet?

No, but there are other alternatives there, but I'm not sure about them. Since the satellites are in geosync, they basically can only transmit data to a footprint on the surface. Although, you'd probably be able to get reception in the Carribean, Mexico and Canada - but you'd have to buy and register it in America.

They game sounds interesting, keep me informed.

Will do.

The world seems rather precipitous right now.

I've been refining the Game for about 2 years now as to it's structure and concept. Now I need some code heads to work with me on building the Database and World manager.

I was going to use a modified Unreal engine for the Client end UI so excellent artistic talent will certainly (and continually) be needed.

Basically I'm looking at setting up what amounts to a Virtual temp-agency. A consortium of freelancers doing everything from Tech support to Graphics, writing u name it.

Effectively, you negotiate a rate with me then clients deal with me, not you. I get a refferal fee and if you elect not to deal with them directly a "front desk" fee.

hmm. i'd love to find a graphics/animation job. i'm always on the lookout. my parents (and myself) don't much like the idea of me not working this summer...

 

[teabgs]

Im gonna have to go along with Jello here. Though I do have stuff for the summer the more the merrier. Also, in the future I will be wanting animation work and anything I can find that doesn't involve me hating myself is good in my book.

Mischief: please keep me in mind if you need people, even if you just want to see some work I have done, or I could do something specific, or even a resume. I'm interested, not definately comitted (sp?), but it sounds very fun/promising.

 

[mischief]

Thanks for the support.

Okay. It looks like there's some good talent out there in Graphics and CGI.

As you can see above I'm looking also to develop an RPG running the Unreal Engine. Those of you who are interested please E-mail me at: mischief6xr@mac.com

I have 3 ideas to write up. The content of the Talent I recieve word from will establish which one gets developped. The choices are:


1. An online Fantasy RPG running the Unreal engine with unparallelled world-realism.

2. A 'Net-based meta-LLC for consulting out E-business to the partner contractors in CGI, Tech support and Legal services.

3. The Big Plan. Save the world, spread Peace and Harmony, stimulate economic growth in the 3rd world.

Please indicate which one you are interested in and I will elaborate as possible.
