omg internets
so i am really worried that my laptop's wifi is crapping out. i'll have to do tests when i get back to sf. the problem is that the networks i am trying to access may be overloaded / badly configured / whatever so i can't be sure till i do tests ... examples

- couldnt connect to press internet at E3 (but there were a mllion peple trying)
- couldn't connect to the free MS wifi at gamefest except for at the end of the day (but it may be function of the room location or overloaded network)
- couldn't maintain a usable connection with the wifi in the hotel (which only works in the lobby, and the hotel is ghetto crap)
so i dunno. i really hope not, cos i figure the only solution will be new laptop at that point. ugh.

now i must return to my wifi free room. my room is supposed to have wired internet but it does not. right now i am stealing the ethernet cable from the pay internet kiosk in the hotel lobby because they can't really see me from the front desk.

siiiiiiiiiigh

Why not just get a WiFi PCI card instead of a new laptop?

It would be more logical to just get an internal card. They're cheaper and not hard to install.

yeah, i really don't know what my options are. so if my wifi is flaking (jury's still out) then that's what i'll do.

if you can help me try to test it in SF i'd be grateful...
