How are the possibilities to relay the signal to a non-Apple router?

Wi-Fi everywhere
That would be nice. Luxembourg is moving in the right direction by installing a free wireless network in parts of the city centre. I still haven’t tried it out as I haven’t had the time… Hotcity is the name, and the marketing is about the worst I have ever seen. Check it out at http://www.hotcity.lu. Just a static page without any information whatsoever conecerning coverage etc…! They do however provide three paragraphs in three differnet languages (EN, FR and DE). Well, Luxembourg has never been the center of any marketing wizardry…

Plazer updated

Plazes just released a preview beta of the new Plazes. Holy c… Here’s a view of Plazes around Luxembourg city:
I’m just discovering everything, but it looks really impressive. List of the plazes you have visited and the duration of your stay (time online there I suppose).

TomTom5 and Mac
I have finally settled for a GPS system for the car – and for the city trip etc. First choice was TomTom. They offer both a “device” solution and a PDA solution. Not that I really need a PDA, but it makes the whole system more mobile, i.e. I can use not only with the car, but also on the bike and/or for walking.
One big annoyance was the fact that the CD’s did not come with a Mac installer! I searched on TomTom’s web site to no avail. Their support pages are very poor to say the least. Anyway, I finally found out, that they have do have a Mac installer.
Pick it up here.
This is the version 1.0.4. TomTom might provide you with something better in the future 
I am currently putting the maps onto the PDA (T5). It takes ages to upload the maps. I managed to get Italy on it, but as I am not living in nor currently in Italy it is a bit difficult to test the setup with that map. Now the Alps are hotsyncing, and so far it has taken several hours to hotsync the 185 MB to the PDA 
. France, Benelux, Germany and Scandinavia is still to come…

Wi-Fi coverage in Denmark
I can’t believe that TDC is the only company offering wi-fi countrywide. How poor – and expensive! Has anyone found better – and cheaper ways to get on-line while in Denmark?
Sky-divers play DS games in multiplayer mode in freefall
How is this for a crazy thing to do:
via Boing Boing:
Rossi sez, “Four sky divers have taken the new Nintendo DS and jumped out of an airplane and played Mario Brothers through an ad-hoc wireless network at terminal velocity. They found that they could play wirelessly at distances of 400 feet.”
