[info encountered at The Thing BBS, NYC. have encountered
earlier such writings via the infrastructural professions,
of sewage, water, electric, gas, and other streetworks who
need to communicate on the ground via dissolvable spraypaint,
to show lines of where underground electrical lines are, or
trees that are diseased, or property zoning. each specialty
has its own language, and as language has always intrigued.
also, believe it has been related to graffiti and other areas
in terms of tagging, although not certain to what extent. in
any case, as with wired, so with wireless, a new community.]

Collaboratively creating a hobo-language for free wireless networking.
What is all this about? Well - it was born out of a good lunch, like
lots of ideas; where we hit upon the idea of creating a hobo language
for wireless access points.
Find a node, and leave a chalk symbol for others to find the node
with a minimum of all that tiresome netstumbler business. Mail your
