[juneau-lug] Re: wifi in SE

Mark,
We got us some of that wireless stuff here at the library in Juneau.  If
you are lucky enough to be on the starboard side of the ship closest to
the parking garage, you can probably get some wireless waves right in
you cabin.  (Remains to be verified cause they don't let us actually
touch the big shiny boats).   

Look for a big concrete structure on the docks in downtown Juneau.  The
library is cleverly disguised as a parking garage for the first four
floors.  But on the top floor, we have put a Library!  

It's just a nocatsplash screen in a browser saying 'do you agree?'  and
you're off.  It's throttled really slow because ACS charges something
like $1.00/Byte of traffic...  Oh, and no port 25 outbound cause Windows
sucks, web based email only.

here's the wireless

here's a map that doesn't help at all.

+ak&spn=0.009476,0.014713&hl=en

this map does even less

+ak&spn=0.013325,0.015965&t=k&hl=en
;)

Stop by the desk and ask for Tom if there are any problems.

Oh yeah, the wireless is free. (slow but free)

See ya,
Tom

p.s. That's a verrrrry blue website you got there...
