Ahh, the convenience of wireless networks. Last night, certain Telus customers in B.C. had internet problems for most of the night. It was frustrating. I realized my dependence on internet, whose importance was further magnified by the on-goings of my recent activities. I itched. Finally, around midnight, I remembered that I can easily connect to my neighbour's Shaw internet connection. They don't encrypt their network and I've accidentally connected to them in the past. What a life saver. By the time I woke up this morning/afternoon, Telus ADSL was back up and life went on. Anyway, I like it when people around me don't know how to secure their networks. :)

I'm going to be on a commercial where I'm lecturing my kid about stealing after he lifts a candy bar.
"Where did you learn to steal?"
"From you, dad, you steal Internet access."

Burn.
