Skype Phone
The past few days have been very busy, but I have made progress with the Skype phone. I went back to the free wifi at Love Park and attempted to get on with the phone. Again I had no luck. This time I brought my laptop along and I quickly realized that the wifi in the area was down. Determined to get on I headed over to the lovely Reading Terminal Market. They have free wifi but with a different provider. The phone again was unable to get on. So after firing up the laptop I noticed that it required you to click through a web portal first. This problem of the phone not being able to get onto a browser authenticated wifi is a problem. I can see two solutions to this. The first would be is to add a web browser to the phone to authenticate on the access point. This solution has its own can of worms as the screen is the size of postage stamp. A better solution that I can think of is create some type of standard on how devices like this can authenticate with the access point. Can anyone think of any other solutions for this? I will be going back in a few days with my Orinoco card to see if I can’t spoof my mac to get the Skype phone on, Keep your eyes open for this.

Also I got several more calls for Constantine. I ask why they were calling and it turns out the guy put my number on job applications. All I have to say is: If this guy doesn’t can’t put the correct number down on job applications then he doesn’t deserve to be hired.
