The search for the open wireless hotspot

September 30, 2006

·

Like most of you with a mobile computer, I’ve been searching the vicinity for an open wireless hotspot so that I could do work. We still don’t have electricity and water at home and we’ve been trying to chansaw the huge mango tree that fell into our garden (pictures to follow).

Luckily I found a wireless hotspot in Mocha Blends BF Paranaque powered by Airborne Access. For some reason, I didn’t have to log into the system anymore with the machine giving me a complimentary session.

Hopefully the power will come back tomorrow.

i’m really sorry to hear the news; hope you guys in pinas are a’ight. feel very sad about all the uprooted trees and fallen billboard structures.

er.. maybe if you chainsaw the mango tree just right, you’d get a good stool of a tree trunk?

Our house has electricity already, but parts of our village still don’t have power.
