Huzzah!
Excellent! The Metro 242 bus (my regular route to work) now has wifi. Yippee! I’m posting this now through their wifi connection with an ssh tunnel through to my home computer so that my surfing is all secure. Lately I’ve been monkeying with tunneling a lot and mean to write about why this is useful but I’ll do that later. Or possibly never. Anyway - this is the first time I’ve successfully gotten online through one of these setups. The junxion boxes they use were misconfigured before or something but I’d only ever gotten to the splash screen in the past. It’s unsecured 802.11b, but I’ll take what I can get (and with the ssh tunnel, it doesn’t matter so much that the connection isn’t secure). I’m as happy as Tobias after the P.E. teacher conceded that he could direct the local school play. One more time: Huzzah!!!
