Will do anything for wireless bandwidth

Here’s the deal:

WillDoAnythingForWiFi

My sister in law, two floors up, has a DSL modem and a WiFi router [in a 20 square foot one-room, sure, whatever]. The router is on the floor, so I am really, if I really want it, only 1.1 floors away from the router [that would require me to stand on the table and hold the laptop close to the ceiling, but anyway...]. However, tables in Korea are mostly low, as in coffee-table with even shorter legs low. As you can see from a couple of toes, this table is on only a few inches above the floor. And my TiBook don’t get it. *But* if I prop it up with 4 paperbacks and a box of tissues, I get my network access, most of the time… So all is fine, except when I have to type something at any length, like my column for RBDeveloper. Then it becomes slightly more problematic…

Thank you Elmore Leonard, Greg Bear, Michael Connelly, John Grisham and Kleenex.

    Mais quel est cette espèce de pain qui gît dans un sachet plastique ? Sacrilège !

    That’s a great pic - can you just hang an ethernet lead out the window?

    Deux croissants. Chez Paris Braguette, les croissants sortent entre 10 et 11 heures du mat’. Pas simple pour la collation matinale… Et si tu les conserves dans un sac en papier, c’est du millefeuille de chez Clairefontaine que tu te gauffres.

    Donc, sac en plastique.

    Hope it don’t fall from there.
