Thank You, Neighbor
A notebook entry published on November 26, 2003
This post comes courtesy of someone’s Wi-Fi in the new neighborhood. Thanks. While I was supposed to have phone, cable and internet hooked up today, I missed the appointment and now have to wait another week. Yikes. One more week without cable. This is an atrocity, but thank goodness for wireless technology.
Anyhow, it’s probably just as well since we’re still navigating a sea of carboard boxes. Aside from that we’re still in awe of the previous owner’s horrific fascination with stencils. There are random stencils on the wall in a few different spots of the new house. Stencils that start on one wall and abruptly end before meeting the next. Or stencils that travel all the way around the room as if a vine had grown in a perfect circle. How charming.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Kudos on the new house, Dan!
My great-Aunt and Uncle live in Worcester (WISS - terr for non-East-Coasters)… how far away is that from you guys?
That is so cool about the WiFi! Great find!

Dan,
I am your next-door neighbor. Why are you stealing my Wi-Fi?

Just kidding.
Enjoy your new home! Happy Turkey!

Mike - Wisstah is about and hour drive southwest of Salem. Not too far at all really. Just don’t call it “War-chest-er” ;-)

There’s a Worcester over here in England, but we pronounce it Wuss-ter. But hey, there’s also a Toaster spelt Towcester.

Dan, you naughty boy. Stealing someone elses bandwidth is illegal…
Out Run
Is it really illegal?
Isn’t it the users responsibility to secure their router?

ahhh but if its unsecured wireless
means anyone can steal it
I put money down that half the neighbourhood is possibly sucking down the net via this doods connection

I was wondering why my connection was so slow! Stop using it! lol. Maybe he set it up so that anyone can use it, www.consume.net
