In Topic: Favorite IDE?

I gave up and just used a character name from a DnD MMO, I even have my domain under that name now.
 

Never seen it taken on any service.

EDIT: I made the character, I took a fantasy name I had used and applied it to myself, the first post looked like I lifted it from a game.

Yes, it's one of a number of semi-creative account names I've used on various platforms before discovering that it's taken on others.

Agreed, I have no interest in using it again

This app runs a simulation, it says nowhere that it performs any actual measurements. It requires you to use a pre-determined image of a floor-plan, where the app uses edge-detection to automatically find the walls. You configure the materials, the location of the router, and it simulates away.
 


Actually, they have a heatmapper, which is the only software I'd ever heard of from them, so when I said Ekahau that's what I meant.

That tool requires you to walk through the premises and takes data on available access points and WiFi strength etc

Oh that's cool. Other radio signals in the vicinity - usually neighbours' WiFi - can cause destructive interference, too. So unless it can factor that in some way, it won't be an accurate representation.


Well since it measures the strength/clarity of the received signal by the device, it's going to factor in anything that can affect communication between the device and the AP
