Blog updating 30,000 feet in the sky

Posted by avsm Mon, 27 Jun 2005 15:05:02 GMT

So I'm half-way to Tokyo Narita on a Lufthansa flight, and I happened to open my laptop and discover that they have in-flight WiFi access! So I did what any self-respecting person would do ... update my blog! Very cool indeed, although a bit latent it offers complete IP access (no proxies), and even UDP so Skype works (barely).
