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.

    So last night, after trying to get some html files into a readable format for my PocketPC (A plus study notes mostly.) I had a thought. “What if I could just take the text of the files and make a quick and dirty Microsoft Reader file out of it?” That would solve the difficulty I…
