Greenway wi-fi works gre ... <USER IS OFFLINE>

Earlier this week, they announced that free wi-fi was now available on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. So, today (right now, actually) I made a visit to see how it is working out.

I sat down on a bench midway down the Greenway in the "shadow" of the Aquarium Garage. I booted up my Mac laptop. It found the "greenway" wi-fi network right away. I couldn't get it to connect immediately but after turning my wireless off and on it connected and I was presented with the RKG home page.

Within minutes, however, I lost the connection. I thought maybe the city had disabled access on this block of the Greenway to annoy Don Chiofaro (kidding!) so I moved up a block. I couldn't connect. Up one block more, however, and I was quickly online. (Unfortunately, this is the block that has the chain-link fence around it, so not much to look at ...)

Then it started to rain and it ruined everything. (And then five people went by on Segways and it really ruined everything ...)

I give it an A-!
