Thanks South Charleston!

This is just a quickie post.  Partially because I haven’t posted in a while, and partially because I have a little time on my hands.   I’ve categorized this under “Road Trips” because, well, I’m on the road.  I’m eating lunch in South Charleston.

I remembered hearing that the City of South Charleston had become a wi-fi city.  Since I have an appointment at Thomas this afternoon I wanted to try it out.  I know it made the headlines when it went live, but I haven’t heard anything about how well or how badly it has worked.  After all  the hype, has it really been a draw for business & customers?

I suspect not.  The reason I say that is I don’t see very many people actually working or playing on notebooks during the day.  Maybe I’m not in the right places. 

I know for me, I need a power supply.  My battery is just the one that came with the machine.  It only lasts an hour.  Lugging the notebook and setting it up is really a bother.  I need to have a reason to hang-out for a while before dragging it.  So, unless I’m just traveling for work and need to be able to get out of the vehicle for a while, I’m not just going to drag the notebook to a coffee shop to work.  I could just go back to my desk and work with my shoes off.

But, kudos to the City of South Charleston for providing me this option.  If I ever get finished with my classes I might be able to make a Chamber event!
