« Sunday: All Campus, All The Time | Main | PowerBook Battery Recall » May 22, 2005Seattle's Muni WiFi: Functional, But Needs Work
The process could be easier. The network itself seems to be kind of faint: I'm sitting next to a window, and only getting two bars' of strength. On top of that, it's not an "open" system from a click-the-menu-and-go standpoint; instead, like the Spokane system, there's a terms-of-service document you need to read and agree to before they let you out into the wider network. Problem is, the authentication system they use for the TOS process is wonky. Safari simply wouldn't deal with it, giving me "reset by peer" errors. So I switched to Firefox, which worked, but not before the browser threw me three different "WARNING! Certificate mismatch!" errors. I gotta say, for a service that's supposed to "stimulate economic development", this thing could be a lot, lot easier to use. But it does work. And it's free!
