Ben Hammersley writes about setting up his public WiFi node in his Guardian column. Ben's experience is a little unusual — within a dya of setting up his access point, Doc Searls (who was 9000 miles from home), stumbled upon it (and Ben). Later, at a group dinner with a bunch of British geeks, Matt Jones suggested chalking "WiFi hobo-runes" on the sidewalk marking discovered wireless service, so that other netstumblers and war-walkers may connect to it.
