Starbucks is my location this afternoon.... Starbucks in Oakhurst, CA. My group is busy doing their thing in Yosemite, while I hang out here, to return early Sunday morning to pick them up and go home to San Diego. My motel has the strangest Internet issue I've run across in a while. Attempting to sign on via their web-based authentication resulted in a Certificate error... their Security Certificate was self-signed. I worked around that, but they have some strange DNS (Domain Name Server) issues. Sometimes the server, DNS Advantage, finds the address, some times it doesn't. We're talking basic stuff here, like www.google.com. The best one was when they couldn't find their OWN address, www.dnsadvantage.com! That I found humorous. Anyhow, I finally packed up the laptop and walked the 3 blocks or so to Starbucks, where my Gold Card allows me 2 hours of free Wi-Fi daily. It's working great.
Otherwise, it's a cool day here, kind of a pleasant change from the usual. Guess I'll get in a walk later this afternoon.....
