you are kidding right? Do you have a good relationship with these neighbors, or are they just extremely nervy?

I have one neighbor that if they asked first wouldn't be a problem, the other neighbors....totally different story :0)

Hi mergrl,
I'm kidding. I live in a highrise and I have a wi-fi printer. I can't imagine someone actually printing to my printer, but my husband I were laughing about what would happen if someone did. You know, stealing the wi-fi thing.

smiles,
Liz

I've been spending my day trying to fix up my ads so that someone will click on them for Christmas.

What have you been doing?

I think I would laugh if such a thing happened to me the first time.

"ME" Liz Strauss said...

Hi Liz,
I laughed when I thought it up.

I'm not sure I would laugh if it actually happened. I think then I would be amazed.

smiles,
liz

Hey Did you know that I'm doing a book for MIT that has an author each from Mit, Cambridge, Technical University of Denmark, and the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm? My job is to make is sound like one English speaker wrote. Not much fun since they're all engineers so none of them speak English to start with.

LMAO good one

sounds like a challenge and a major undertaking, I'll stick to my science paper for now, at least its a language I understand LOL

How did I know that would be your answer? . . . oh well.

LOL you are too funny, I wouldn't know what to do with an engineer from MIT's writing if it came up and bit me, its probably all full of that icky math (yes I know, science is full of math, but I try to avoid it at all costs) LOL

and please tell me this is a job and not a hobby :0) because if its a hobby, Liz you seriously need to get a different hobby LOL

"ME" Liz Strauss said...

Actually, it's a book for engineering professors telling them how to teach engineering students, so no math. And yes there is money involved, because I can't yet support myself blogging and no one is sending me money for free.

You've joined the community, you get linky love. :)

At least you'd get to read their document. What exactly is wi-fi anyway? It sounds pretty cool.

Hugs,
Betty

Hi Betty,
A wireless connectivity--my printer doesn't need wires talk to our computers.

smiles,
Liz

"linky love"

I need to add that to my lexicon. :-)

Morning Liz. I've got a truck load of smiles for delivery this morning. Where would you like them?

"ME" Liz Strauss said...

Hi Tree,
No worries. Somehow they've already arrived on my face. :)
smiles,
Liz

Husband was copying some cassettes from the stereo to his laptop. He left it on.
Someone round here must have WiFi, because it has now picked up the signal and is downloading all the latest windows upgrades..............

Oops?

"ME" Liz Strauss said...

Hi Cheryl.
Sorry to hear about your husband's "misfortune." We have so many safety nets on our wi-fi we don't really use it. But it's there if we need it I guess.

Opps is right. I can just imagine the mood my husband would be in. :P

That's definitely going too far! I'm glad it's a fictional situation. But it's easy to imagine someone actually doing it.

HI Mark,
It's just my imagination running away with me as it sometimes does. :)

You're right it would be going too far.

smiles,
Liz

well it may not be too funny, in a time before when everyone had one of their own people co-oped and shared resources.

"ME" Liz Strauss said...

Yeah, Lance,
But usually they asked first.
I think that was the implied problem. :)

Heaven forbid.

But I will admit to hijacking wi-fi in my mothers NYC highrise. It was just easier than using the phone line and creating a new location. Amazing, how many networks you can find in a highrise, and how many are not secure!

One network name I will refrain from repeating here. It rhymed with "duck scoff."

Easy to say cities are unfriendly places; harder to admit that thievery is thievery, plain and simple.

"ME" Liz Strauss said...

Hi Zilla,
I can't help it. Your message made me giggle--especially the name of the network. It's almost as if they were asking you to . . .
I've called the pope and he's given you a special wi-fi dispensation.

smiles,
