War driving
Published October 12th, 2006 in Ramblings
Tuesdays and Thursdays Jenn does yoga in Balmain, for which I dutifully provide her with chauffeur services. Whilst waiting in the car (it’s just not worth driving home and the back again) I’ve been trying my hand at war driving and was pleased to find that most people still do not secure their Wifi networks :)
There are several places on Darling St in Balmain that have open network points, including the Fire station, town hall and a number of private residences. I did consider—for a few milliseconds—that this might be an illegal activity…I should look into that. Nevertheless I sit here now writing this post from the luxury of a car parked on a street. It’s a little immature since my PC laptop has an iBurst card (’wideFi’ as I call it), although my iBook can’t use that so it’s actually quite necessary to borrow connections when using the Mac about town.
Last time, I was truly mobile-man; I emailed, blogged, surfed and edited video ‘on the go’. OK it’s geeky, but at least you can’t say I should get out more!
