I love free wi-fi

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Hey, the best thing about Gnomedex right now? I-spot’s free wi-fi! I had to do a very basic install on Weds night to the new hard drive on the laptop and I’m now sitting in the hall of the Convention center downloading stuff so I can actually do things like edit my pictures, make a web album out of them, and use Trillian to IM my wife back home. These guys rock! I wasn’t looking forward to trying to do all that on dialup, I can tell you that!

Update: I got trillian running but I have no idea what my ICQ password is, so if you’re looking for me on there, try Yahoo user ID mikemac29, or the same username at hotmail for MSN.

    I’ve been using Mozilla 1.1 for the last few days here at work. As I’ve mentioned before, it can’t really take the place of IE for me, because there’s too many things that don’t work quite right with it, yet. But I’m finding that I can use it in connection with IE to help some…
