Stealing a connection
Last night I discovered in my hotel in Uist that I had no phone cable to connect the laptop to the internet, and I couldn't get the cable out of the back of the phone!
Panic, and with Taigh Cersabhaigh (sp?) closed until 10am, I've resorted to cruising Lochmaddy looking for a spare wireless connection that I can hack into. Avoiding being arrested or crashing the car, I have managed to find an open connection and am accessing my mail at 5Mpbs.
Are there any 'official' open connections in the Uists?

Taigh Dearg in Lochmaddy. Also Nunton Steadings in Benbecula, and Seal View B&B in Berneray.
It is a crime to hack into someones network without permission to steal bandwidth and others have been convicted for this.
Its easy to stop people using your connection.
And very "charitable" to leave it open.
No harm no foul.
