At long last...

...the Johnson County Library has begun moving toward completely unwiring all its locations. They say that Cedar Roe, Lackman, and DeSoto are already done, and there's a report on wififreespot's Kansas page that Gardner is lit up. Plans are to be finished by the end of the year.

Since I have more convenient library access now that KCMO's fully unwired, and since it's a longer drive to JoCo from where I work today as opposed to where I did when I started this blog, I don't get out to their locations as often as I used to-and frankly, given the issues I've documented here with this network and its implementation, I haven't been particularly inclined lately to make a special trip out there to use it. Nonetheless I'll probably make a sweep of the new locations once the expansion is further along. However, anyone who'd care to beat me to the punch with a report from one now is welcome.

No, "Wi-Fi" is NOT short for "Wireless Fidelity!"

And if I ever see or hear anyone say it is again, I'll...oh, never mind.
