Hmmm. Updating a Google cache...?
Jun. 22nd, 2006 02:35 pmSome time ago, I came across a hotel chain whose wireless required passwords and such, but I discovered directory listings was enabled. Having wandered around a bit, I posted all of the information I found while wandering, and left the post open to the public. :) And today, one of the maintainers of the code came across it via google (or something like that), and said hi to me over AIM. We talked for a bit - I located the hotel (or at least the one I think it was) and gave that to him. Post has been friend-locked, so the code's no longer globally available. Link to the entry is here:

(With hopes that google will access it, and update their cache. It doesn't exist on archive.org, so that's not an issue - just getting the information "offline", since the issue's been taken care of. Hopefully.)
(For my own record, that was StayOnline. And he.. might-have-kinda-offered to "comp" it for me. :D Although it didn't work out in the end... since he probably didn't want to give me his contact info. And I honestly probably wouldn't have used it for some time, anyways... nice of him to offer though. "comp" => complimentary, or compensate. Probably the former, as defined in the second definition on urbandictionary.com.)
12:20:19 PM Ben: and it was nice meeting you too. :) I must say it's nice to know posting that stuff actually helped someone..
12:20:22 PM ST: Let me know if you're ever in one of the hotels we service, and they charge for wireless. I'll see what I can do about comping it for you.
12:20:47 PM Ben: Oooh, ok.
12:20:55 PM Ben: uh, which hotels do you service?
12:21:10 PM ST: Usually only the expensive business hotels charge, but there are some others that do too.
12:21:30 PM ST: Various Marriotts, Hyatts, Hiltons, Omnis, and some other smaller chains.
12:21:59 PM ST: Usually you'll see something about access being provided by StayOnline.
12:22:25 PM ST: If not on the front page, in the clickthrough T&A
12:23:20 PM Ben: StayOnline, huh.. ok.. cool. Um, how will I be able to reach you? Just pay and get online, then over AIM?
12:23:37 PM ST: ...
12:23:43 PM ST: Alright, I feel like a retard now :)
12:23:58 PM ST: No, if you've already paid there's not much I can do about it, haha.
