The Times today printed
an obituary of my father. I think it's really good.
The print edition has this excellent picture I supplied of dad gladhanding Pierre Trudeau in Canada.

My friend (probably my oldest friend!) Cyrus Mower got it scanned and I asked for a hi-res image for printing. Well I got one - c2MB, way to big for me to email from my dad's dial-up connection. So I got in the car with my laptop and started cruising the streets for some Wireless action....
Turns out that Lathbury Road, Oxford is Wi-Fi central! From where I parked the car I could connect to 4 unsecured wireless networks. So I found the best connection and hey presto - emailed the pics to the Times.
O tempora, o mores!
