wi fi access on rally

Some while ago, when we first joined the Landy Rally band of funsters, we read that at least one team was working on providing some wifi internet access for the rally. I just wanted to check whether that is definitely going to be available, as I would like to try to keep our travel blog up to date.

:?: :?:

Hello,

The Team IntelMental is pleased to announce that it has a partner provider for the Landy Rally.

The Team IntelMental vehicle has been equipped with a WiFi access spot and 'should' be able to provide internet access to all during the rally. As a live hot spot it will be available at the various overnight stops but also "in convoy" if you can keep up with us!!!!!!!..... or slow down enough!

More details will be provided during the event.....

TERMS AND CONDITIONS WILL BE ENFORCED!!!!!

Small print
**** terms and conditions are not that bad****

brilliant! then it will be worth taking the laptop. thanks.

do you have a tracking device so i can find you?

catch 22.... need internet to look at tracking!

Well done!!!
We are very happy with that.
Also want to keep a weblog
Thanks

and i guess if i had the internet i would only get lost on google...

whats the range of the wifi going to be like when you are travelling?

The signal should be available up to 100m away, Depends on the connecting device..... we have a big antenna!

It's pronounced "Eiiii! eight-oh-two-eleven"

Doh! That sailed over my head. Explain.

Wi-Fi (pronounced "waɪfaɪ") is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance for certified products based on the IEEE 802.11 standards.

Tis the trendy name for "short range wireless notwerking"

we are somewhat curious how you would pronounce Wii ( gameconsole)
We'll think it should be: Why I( wai ai )
Is this correct?

We. Or "Wee" as in pee-pee, or "piss poor excuse for a console"

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - I think?

The locals round our way call it a " Wee" !! Which might just confuse you when someone says "they are going to play with their Wee"

The first year of Landy Rally we had the Pukka Posse.
Last Year we had the Get Lost Crew
2009 is this the Wi Fi Convoy ?????

I'm starting to get quite excited now only 12 more sleeps to go !!

need more time captin

Only 12 non-sleeps for me. Made it to outskirts of Andorra now Road Book-wise. Kieran's hieroglyphics are driving me insane!!!!!!

In fact must get back it now .. night all!

You should worry Tom at least you are a good 60 miles away. Kieran's just started painting his bedroom at this time of night !!

Anyway if you don't get any further than the Spanish side of Andorra I'll have a third attempt at the dustbowl. And there are some great mountain roads in the Pyrenees.

Would be fun to follow a non readable roadbook, i.e. hieroglyphics by kieran. Will be another new experience

im egyption ( i think )

i think night time decorating is more fun, plus the fact i cant work out when else i would do it, the only down side i have yet found is the head ache i have the following day

A couple of bottles of red wine and you'll forget you've a headache from the paint fumes ... just a different sort of headache.
