I’m at Stansted heading back to Barcelona. There’s free wifi here (on the merula network in the waiting area for gates 1-19), for the first time I’ve seen it. At first I didn’t understand their web page, then I read the login box which clearly says to enter merula as user name and password. It works.
I’m on the X90 National Express bus from Oxford to London. At the bus stop before we left I pulled out my laptop to do some work on a presentation. I noticed there was an open wifi signal and thought I’d connect quickly to pick up my mail.
It turns out the wifi network is on the bus.
I’m now speeding down the motorway, it’s gray and raining outside, and I’m sitting here warm and online. I suppose all National Express buses have wifi. One day it will be a rarity not to have network access. Today is the first time I’ve had access from a bus. Nice.
