Jungle OS X hotspot

Okay, we already take it for granted. We're sitting outside in a nice breeze, jungle moon above, sharing an Airport, emailing home after a day in the ruins. The purr of the Honda generator tells us when we can go online, 3 times a day.

I'm in a champa (open room with palm leaf roof), the others are in the screened lab, lined up across the road. And I mean across the middle of it. There are only 2 vehicles that come this way and they both belong to the Proyecto. Beyond this camp, the only places to drive are the helicopter pad (new this year) and two water sources, the Aguada los Loros and a river.

I read in a couple of places tonight about new software that runs on Mac OS X and turns your Airport into a paying wireless hotspot. Daily Wireless had a link and, as usual, a roundup of other useful information on hotspot software and services.
