Wifi on the Train

Peter Rukavina

[[Oliver]] and I are speeding down the track from Dorval to Kingston where we’ll rendezvous, after a week apart, with [[Catherine]]. Remember when I said that wifi is everywhere. Well it’s here on the train. Bandwidth sucks (latency to the mothership back in PEI is 619ms), and my Plazer keeps freezing (probably not its fault), and my iChat keeps kicking in and out (probably not its fault). But it’s still pretty cool. Indeed somehow cooler than wifi on airplanes because the technical insanity of it all is more obvious.

Sadly, even though there is wifi there are no power plugs, which makes the service of somewhat limited use after a few hours.

So far this morning your plazes website plug-in has said you’ve been in Florida and Nebraska.

Plazes by SMS still has some challenges when creating new Plazes in Canada. It’s all due to Canada and the US sharing a country code. Developers promise it will be fixed soon.
