Nothing technical here. Just a brainstorm! This is thinking ahead, when everything will work smoothly. When amazing websites are appearing out of nowhere.

This is the question:
When we use the Superglue-TP-link locally, not attached to a router, not transferring your website to the internet, in what way can we use it?

It is more than a usb stick, it is a usb key with internet. A shareable usb storage device.

Example ideas:

  • As a place to remind other family members what is to be bought in the
    supermarket.
  • A safe testing of your website before making it public.
  • A mobile server, to be set up at places where there is no internet,
    for storage of files, everyone can share, like the e-textile
    summercamp ( in France, in an old factory:
    http://etextile-summercamp.org/6)
  • a safe place for important documents which should be available for members of a group, collegues, students, teams
  • a place to run a family game
  • a server for storing selftracking data, domotica data (the sensors should be wirless then...)
  • a possibly disrupting wifi access point eg during a conference, imitating the existing wireless network

Keywords: private, intimate, sharing in a small circle, testing websites

What it is not: working free of energy (self charging), small so that it can be sewn into fashionable clothing,

What it should be: not very nerdy (at the moment it still is).

First conclusion: it should get rid of its nerdy character. Hotglue is not very nerdy, this seems somehow much more nerdy.

As for the Superglue pages, could I somehow transfer my Hotglue pages to my USB key, to be used as Superglue pages?

Sort of local BBS for inside a bar or so? Wouldn't mind placing one in Wunderbar @WORM
Captive page would be ideal for this.

Well BBS, but I was also thinking of the "samizdat" in the years that there was suppression of a free press behind the iron curtain.


Do we have something to hide on a local server? Is the Internet the "Bad Guy"?
