Wireless routers and sleepless nights

So, after years of trepidation and procrastination, I bought a wireless router for the house. The ethernet cable was annoying for houseguests and meetings, but it had a very useful feature. It didn't reach the bedroom.

The last time I worked with a distributed team, it was back during dial-up days. The phone cord reached the bedroom. I gave myself sleep problems til I reconfigured the house to have a sleeping area out of sight of the office area, and resolved not to bring the computer into the sleeping area.

So, when you start seeing blogposts and emails and wiki changes at 3-4am, worry for me. An intervention may be in order.

Easy, Adina, a faraday cage for the bedroom, or at least line it with tinfoil.
