Christmas Carols at 2.4ghz

The other night after putting my son to sleep I put down my laptop and picked up my wifes laptop to transfer some files to her laptop from mine. During the transfer I noticed noise on the baby monitor and how it was corresponding to the transfers. I had put my laptop right up against the monitor and the monitor was picking up the wireless activity. The baby monitor operates at 900Mhz and has not interefered with the wireless but this time it was picking it up when placed in very particular locations right up against the machine.

Not thinking much of it I remembered the video of a scanner playing Beethoven and thought of doing something seasonal. So I whipped up a little program to generate orchestrated network traffic.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas and Jingle Bells in static major.
