Yes. Well.

It seems that the Great Gods of Internet are out to spite me for spending such a long time sinning by ruthlessly thieving my nextdoor neighbour's wireless connection. That is, once I finally make an honest woman of myself by going to the Internet Shop and buying my own, the company goes bust and leaves me stranded and void of internet lovin'.

Which is shit, by the way.

So I'm back at the internet caf', just to let you know that I'm probably shafted for a while.

Yes. Very shit indeed.

Ah, the Internet Gods, ruthless shitheads indeed [although i* don't hate thee, much reverence, promise, and i shall sacrifice another mouse tonight...] But yes, shit on the whole for you, i agree.
On the upside, you can ppl watch, drink coffee, and look all like important woman with urgent things to do on the computer! Ha - no one will suspect your 'thieving' past now!
(I'm all with seeing the upside these days - must be the meds...:S apologies.)

How do you steal the internet anyhow? I have a couple of networks come up, but they don't seem to let me do anything.

Lucy, highly crap indeed. The internet doesn't seem to like me very much.

Pomgirl, they are masquerading as a cafe but I'm fairly certain there's no coffee there at all. I've only been in there twice and I noticed a large vending machine in the corner. A vending machine does not a cafe make.

Vapidly vibrant, it's a bit of a crap place for people-watching, unfortunately. In order to give people their porn-viewing privacy, they've put up partitions between each computer. Which is very antisocial, but is very handy for when I accidentally click on a link or thoughtlessly put a seemingly harmless search term into google and end up at a page packed with v's and p's.

Treespotter, my thoughts exactly. We knew that at least six other people used the same connection on a daily basis. The only unfortunate thing is that it may have been a case of them not knowing how to secure it, rather than being a 'free internet for all!' situation. Oh well...

Ilse, I'm in a block of eight units and in the six months I've lived here, I've said hello to two of my neighbours. I'm going pretty well. They'd never suspect me. Muahaha.

Miss Devylish, I used to do it to my neighbours at my old place, too, but then they wised up and secured it. Curse them! Bring on the days of free internet! They can't be too far away.

Mark, are they secured i.e. with little padlocks next to them? Unless you had the password you couldn't do anything with those (well, there's apparently sneaky evil ways around it, but only l337 h4x0rs know those). If there's an unsecured network you might be able to connect to it. That's what I do. It works for some and not for others. I don't know much about it, really.
