From Adhoc to Awesome… The Creation of Dual-WiFi

The most important requirements we had for the IUM Drive was for it to be portable and didn’t require any additional hardware to work.  As long as your laptop was WiFi enabled, that was sufficient to pair with the IUM and start sharing files.

Life As We Know It…

Life As We Know It…

It’s been over a year since I graduated from university yet it seems like it was just a few months ago that I was a college student. University was great! Rushing to classes was optional and if it was too late to make it, we would spend endless hours doing absolutely nothing. Coffee breaks lasted [...]

Everything Comes at a Price

Everything Comes at a Price

As of 2010, an estimated quarter of Earth’s population uses the services of the internet. That’s right, out of around 6.8 billion people, only about 1.9 million people use the internet.

Why Most Projects Finish Late
