Locate WIFI networks
How many times have you visited a city thinking where are the hot spots? Oh, sorry I meant WIFI. In any case, here is a quick way of finding hotspots from your hotel room before you go out in the wild. Of course, all precautions should go into effect: a VPN channel to your office, SFTP to any file server and encrypted channels for all your iChat buddies with .mac accounts galore.
Of course I’m the paranoid type when it comes to security and password protection. Not that I own any state secrets but I just like to maintain my privacy. It seems these days, it’s a commodity for organized crime. Hey Computer Associates was hacked!
Pick complicated password. Change them once a month or every time you retrieve your emails in public places. Even then there is so much to discuss. Hey Jonathan that would be a nice discussion to have.
