Just call me Lord Peter

Through supernatural detecting ability and with my characteristic roguish flair and taste for danger, I have located the owner of the wireless network I'm imperfectly mooching off of—it's the dude in unit 309.

(His iTunes was sharing his music, and he had left the share name on the default value of [current user's full name]'s Music. So I went and found his name on the mailboxes!)

I think the plan of action is to buy a wireless access point that can be put into repeater mode. But now that I know who runs this thing, maybe I can go chip him a few dollars a month to make sure he doesn't set up a password and kick me off or anything bogus like that.

Oh, I bought a chair today. From the churchy thrift store over by the Wedge co-op! And then I walked it all the way home down Franklin. (I specifically chose an easily carryable one.) It's pretty basic, but it's mine. And it's also pretty solid-looking, and only cost me ten bucks.

EDIT: HOURS LATER: Operation: Steal Mo' Internet is a success! Too bad it cost me a cool hundred bucks. But now I've got 14 days to figure out a cheaper way to do it and return the repeater I bought. 'Course, even if I don't come up with anything else, it'll probably pay for itself.

There's a thrift store by the Wedge!!!?? :D Where???

[roadrunnertwice]

It's called "Steeple People;" it's on the same block of Lyndale as the Wedge, but on the west side of the street and slightly further north on the block. They're having a furniture clearance sale right now! (Though there's not that much left...)
