Composing this blog post from the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in Downtown San Jose. Came to checkout the free wireless network (SSID: sjsu_campus) that's finally open to the public. Speakeasy's Speed Test is currently showing about 1,100 KBps both ways. DNS lookups can be slow. Authenticated SMTP, IM, and Cisco VPN seem to work fine. It's nice to have another place (tax payer funded no less) to work remotely. The only drawback so far is that there are currently a lot of people coughing and sneezing in the library. Fortunately, King Library is large enough for everyone to find their own little private nook. General public laptop users are no longer tethered to designated desks if they want to get online. All that's needed is a free library card.
