...well not quite. When we arrived to do a final walkthrough of the house we are going to own tomorrow afternoon, our real estate agent, who is also a network security consultant, was scanning the area for open WiFi. Bless his geeky heart. I was inspired to do some warwalking around the house with my PowerBook running MacStumbler. We only turned up some intermittent weak signals, so it's likely that we'll be without broadband until Comcast arrives in a two weeks. Warwalking neighbors I haven't met yet makes me wonder if there needs to be an entry in a new millenium book on ettiquette that says, "don't sniff your neighbor's data packets until they've borrowed your lawn mower." The other entry should say, "it's boorish to announce to a new neighbor that their network is not secure. Wait until the end of your first dinner with them."
