Link for today: Bluetooth Proximity - Ubuntu HOWTO

Link to Howto

I’ve used this successfully and can attest to how handy it is. Kudos to Iceni for putting that Howto together.

BT dongles are getting cheap enough today that this is very doable. Most phones have BT already, so why not try it out?

Linksys also makes a USB Bluetooth adapter with a movable antenna. I’ve not heard anything about that particular adapter, but I would wager that its range is greater than that of normal Bluetooth dongles.

That’s it for today!
