Sounds like the hotel has multiple wifi routers, and they might need to have someone reset the one nearest you...

I agree. It sounds like the Ethernet side of the WAP is misbehaving.

The answer from management was "Oh yes, we know, WiFi works in the courtyard, we haven't worked it out in the rooms yet, so we're not letting folks do that."

This despite the fact we asked more than once about WiFi in this hotel and it was a criteria for choosing the hotel.

Sigh.

So, Mac people, I remember a few weeks ago there was some kind up update thingy that screwed everyone's torrenting up. What's the preferred OSX torrent client these days? Stil Azureus?

Jess, I'm running Azureus right now, and it seems to be pretty good.

And you can find comic torrents where?

Try demonoid.com. It's hit-or-miss, like going to a used bookstore, but they have a lot.

I've got about 20 porn videos on my computer that I didn't download. I happened to find them in my "my music" folder today when transfering some music over to my other computer. Any idea how they might have gotten there?

Divine intervention?

I'm doubting that... At least, it's not what I would ask for from divine intervention.

Adware, virus ware, malware of some kind or you've been sharing your computer with teenagers - the first two are my personal guess if the last is false.

I've run all that stuff on both of my computers, but looks like I'll need to do another run of them.

I don't share my computer with teenagers...but my roommate (Not!Emily) uses that computer occassionally (actually, Emily does too, but I think she would have fessed up when I laughingly showed her the files). I really doubt he'd download porn onto my computer and forget to erase it. He just seems to have more class than that...especially since it's mine. He's always so appreciative that I let him use the computer.
