	This is the plan, at least!

	I'm not a math person, so I ask people what they think about how 
to "triangulate" APs  detected during a wardrive. I asked this guy here at 
my contract, and today there was a piece of paper with mad-scientist 
scriblings on it, and a diagram. Once I encode this, I'll post it here for 
review. I ask lots of people about how to do this, few give any answers at 
all, so I'm kinda excited.


	Also, I dunno if people are interested, I posted a game proposal 
-- a way to make wardriving into a fun game that doesn't hurt people, or 
encourage network security violations.
