Mine will be one of those boring ones that just says Optus#zyzzzz#@!!# and has really poor connectivity |
I only thought of looking them up again because of an article in yesterdays Age by Peter Munro * who turned up an interesting collection on a Wifi walk around Melbourne. How about "Asio Van" or "YourKidsAreUgly" or maybe "I'm Watching You Sleep?" There is even an interactive map.
He also lists a website devoted to same http://wtfwifi.com/?id=67 where you can vote for your favourites and there's another list too at http://tjshome.com/wifinames.php?page=26&o=
though the tone here seems more "rack off and get your own internet connection" rather than to entertain. However, I did like "Trapped in router, send help," and "Connect for Identity Theft" deterrent function nothwithstanding. Network connection names do open up a world of opportunity for creative expression you may not have thought of before. Great inspiration for people like me whose mind goes totally blank when confronted by dialogue boxes demanding user names or passwords.
Thanks for reminding me about this, Peter.
