I work from coffee shops. It’s a whole heck of a lot more productive than working from home, and it provides a nice psychological divide “home = my time, coffee shops = their time”. Unfortunately coffee shops have their own little fun features, like college students who bring their laptops configured for UT’s fat pipes or their own cable modems at home and saturate the upload pipes of the coffee shops. Flightpath has a slightly older clientèle and it’s not too big a problem, but Dominican Joe and JP’s systems become almost unusable at times, and I am frustrated.
It’s the kind of thing that makes me want to find exploitable security holes in the shops routers and see if i can’t muck around and get some QoS queues in place. I am a sick and twisted human being
