Aaah shuks…we’ve finally made it into a piece of Open University course work! The course is using an article by Denis about wireless network security.

What is it with people that they always wait until the last minute before doing things?
Two recent examples have caused me to think about this. One is the deadline for the return of UK Income Tax forms, 31st January. People were driving straight to the door of the tax office on the final day [...]
