Wireless access in Washington, DC

DC Public Schools offer access to their wireless systems.


This weekend has been pleasantly spent sitting at a picnic table, under the shade, doing client work. All this is possible because the DC government keeps their wireless system open. It is a very nice amenity.

Unfortunately, the DC Public School system blocks access to all sites defined as social networks. This includes Twitter and most blogs, but not Slashdot or LinkedIn. Still, I was able to get a great deal of work done while enjoying the spectacular weather we are having.
