Wifi covers the majority of the school, though of course areas such as ground Hill and Watts have issues in connectivity. The ethernet ports in the dorms are no longer active (much to my dismay when I arrived on move-in day with my old Dell incapable of wifi...). The internet "cuts off" at 1 am, but clients such as AIM stay connected, making after curfew communication less tormenting, I presume. I will certainly be investigating the vents as soon as I return from extended; I don't know why this hasn't been done on our hall already... Yes.

I will certainly be investigating the vents as soon as I return from extended; I don’t know why this hasn’t been done on our hall already…

Sun, 25 Apr 2010 07:35:50 +0000 http://www.erik-rasmussen.com/blog/?p=3557#comment-4849 Macey, am I correct in assuming that there is wifi all around campus these days? I got busted a few times for running network cables between rooms. Sometimes out the window, sometimes duct taped to the ceiling to cross the hall, and sometimes through the bathroom vent in Bryan (the rooms are connected through the vents). The authorities said that communication between rooms violated curfew. I also remember learning enough in my electronics and physics classes to understand that it MUST be possible to hook my network cable up to a wireless transmitter and connect to another computer through the wall, but when I asked a friend who was an Electrical Engineer in college what he thought, he drew some diagrams and realized that it would need more power than I could easily provide to a breadboard circuit. Wifi cards came out on the market a few years later. Macey, am I correct in assuming that there is wifi all around campus these days?

It's always strange to be reminded that guys once resided there... Also... your computer with it's floppy drive trips me out. :] I currently live on 3rd Bryan.
