My name is Travis, and I am an internet addict.
Enough said?No? Okay fine. Basically when I got my internet taken away, I took an old shitty wireless adapter I had and shoved it in the side of a can and pointed it in the general direction of the wireless network. Lo and behold, it worked. Barely any signal and shit reliability, but hey, internets. This morning I couldn't get connected with only my can, so I modified it. Yay!Edit: I tweaked it a bit and managed to get TWO WHOLE BARS. OMG.
But…
A) not as coolB) seems less effective.That one's actually a lot nicer than mine. =[
Cantennas like this are quite common…
Most cantennas are built properly. Mine is impromptu and lacks a number of key components that make others effective.
