Feb 23 04: casting our net wide
We had TimeWarner Cable over today to try to fix some problems with the TV and not only did they not really fix them but we are now also without our internet connection. God knows when it will be fixed. We are not amused.
Fortunately for us and for them, I have discovered that our apartment is within range of at least three unsecured wireless networks. I’ve patched us into one of them. I can’t decide whether I should feel guilty about it or not. I think current ethics dictate that if a WLAN hasn’t been secured, the owner doesn’t care. What do you think? It’s not as if we’re going to be downloading multi-terabyte files, or kiddie pr0n. Just our email.
Anyway, we’re spared the horror of netlessness. Phew. Now I’m more likely to be civil when TimeWarner calls to rectify the situation. Maybe. Plus now I can surf around and avoid finishing “Slow.” (Note to self: next time, call the story something like “Brilliantly and Rapidly Completed.” This was just begging for trouble.)
