i don't know why i didn't try this sooner: earlier today i walked around town using mrs. noz's ipod touch as a portable wifi detector. i found a bunch of open networks by our hotel, none of them seem to be coming from any official internet cafe. i suspect the signals are coming from private apartments, where someone has set up a wireless router and didn't bother to password protect the signal.
but hey, works for me. my current mission is to find a cafe or restaurant within range of an open wifi signal. somewhere i can sit with the laptop that isn't the middle of the snowy street.
