Well, I was able to find a (for pay) hotspot here at LAX. Around gate 70, it works out to about 50-60% strength, via boing.com. And since I’ll be officially checking my company e-mail, I’ll expense it.<\/p>\n
The main annoying thing (well, aside from having to move after I discovered that the electrical outlets I initially camped at were dead) (though that led me to finding a better place where I can easily type standing) is that I can’t SMTP out without dicking around with the mail client settings. I could do Mail2Web web mail, but that doesn’t help with messages I’ve already downloaded. <\/p>\n
So a couple of messages that will go back out sometime tonight.<\/p>\n
It will be good to be home.<\/p>\n
