Currently writing this at Starbucks, using the ATTWifi that ATT graciously allows iphone owners to use for free. It is unfortunate they don’t allow ATT subscribers to use their computers as well. Yet here I am, typing away. Sure, it took about 30 minutes but now that I have it setup I’ll be good to go next time (fingers crossed). It’s pretty simple although the command line coding will probably scare off most people. Still, for the record, here is the link to where I found it:

I was a little confused by the digits that look like “ones” (11) but are actually supposed to be “elle’s” (ll). so, it would look like this:

where the digits are replaced w/ the MAC address of your iphone.

Pretty sweet that this works. hope it continues to.
