OK, let me say that for the record Warchalking rocks as an idea.......apart from when you have no chalk which is where the whole shebang falls in on itself. I mean, I personally don't carry chalk with me everywhere I go, I don't know about you but I'm guessing you don't either. Frankly I'm amazed that nobody has actually noticed this major flaw. Well, fear not for I have devised a grand solution - Chalkchalking.
It works like this; you're walking along the road, perhaps on your way to the office or perhaps you are out on some Warchalking reconnaissance when you notice a stationers shop and upon enquiring you ascertain that they do in fact sell chalk. Using this card as a guide simply mark the appropriate symbols on a nearby wall. Now when a passing Warchalker hits upon a Wi-Fi hotspot that he desperately needs to mark up on a wall but discovers to his horror that he is not in possession of said chalk, he can easily find the nearest source of chalk and continue about his business of Warchalking. Chalkchalking, simple as that.

As I said in January I still have a problem with 802.11b in that I see 8 ounces 1 pound but that's my problem, not yours. Anyway what am I talking about? well I write to you from my dining room table where I am now sitting proudly at the vanguard of wireless networking. I paid the office fifty quid for an old IBM Thinkpad they were selling off as they do when kit gets too old, stumped up some more moolah for wireless networking kit and hey presto! I'm blogging sans cables. No more need to sit in my darkened orifice when blogging.
Another really cool thing is the ability to wirelessly stream my MP3 collection from my main PC in my home office and once I pick up a jack lead tomorrow I'll be able to patch the sounds directly from my wireless notebook PC into my HIFI system in the kitchen upon where gigabytes of audio will boom at top quality and volume for the world to hear. In our kitchen I might add. Geek nirvana.
Update 29th June: I'm now internet radio's number one fan, I've plugged my WIFI'd IBM Thinkpad into my kitchen HIFI and we've been listeneing to radio stations in Santa Monica, Bali, New York and Hong Kong all morning. Solutions for modern living, can't beat 'em. Rock on.
