I write this from the new Top Pot Doughnuts/Zeitgeist Coffee on 5th. It's lovely. I'm going to start spending a moderately unhealthy amount of time in this building, with its high west-facing windows, bookshelves lining the north and south walls, the reassuring noises of jazz and espresso machines. Plus Wi-fi, of course.

The network is up and running from day one, but I haven't figured out where the AP sits, and in the upstairs corner where I initially sat down I didn't get any signal at first. The location is not quite as generous with the electrical outlets as the Top Pot on Capitol Hill, but there are at least three upstairs. No, four. No, five. That's about the same ballpark as the other location; this place is just four or five times its size.

I wrote this intending to send it as email to Kellan, but I'm unable to transmit mail out. At the old location, I traced the gateway's IP address and concluded they were using Qwest DSL, from which I rounded up pop.sttl.qwest.net as the appropriate Qwest SMTP server. Sending through that server doesn't work here for some reason. I get "relaying denied", even though this is also a Qwest IP, and I can't find any evidence of a change of policy. Puzzling, but a mystery for another day. 03:20PM «
