That darned hotel WiFi signal

Posted Saturday, 9 August 2008, 13:35 HST @899

The convention center has free WiFi, but I need a break before dinner. I just spent 20 minutes finding a sweet spot for my hotel’s WiFi.

Getting a signal

My room is behind a corner, so I moved the desk 3 feet towards the window and put a phone book under my computer.

That was enough to get a better view of the nearest access point. 

Yes, I could sit in the hotel lobby like the other conference participants have done, or continue my vigil in the convention center, but I have my geek reputation to uphold… and I don’t have a cellular data card any more.
