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.

    Excuse the mess for the moment, I’m playing around with enabling trackbacks using Haloscan’s trackback feature, because, well, because I can. When did I never need any more reason than that? 🙂 I’m not sure if the autodiscovery feature works, I suppose I’ll figure that out in time. Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Yeah, I know, I made a typing error and breakfast in bed turned into breakfast in BAD. I wasn’t trying to insinuate that there was anything but breakfast, I just have this typing/spelling problem. Usually I rely on a good spell check, but, obviously, bad didn’t turn up as a bad spelling so I missed…

  • Trackback Disabled

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I disabled trackbacks on the entire blog. I’m tired of dealing with the spam. Perhaps if Haloscan puts something together that makes some effort at blocking it I’ll think about it again, but for now, it’s too much work deleting the dozens of spam trackbacks every single day. While the trackbacks will still appear in…
