    I think he meant wi-fi hotspots for connecting your wireless laptop to the net, which is likely how he was posting here.

    Up the road towards the traffic signal at the top. BC Research.

    I took that tour once, as I knew someone who worked there. It is an interesting place. A lot of wires, if I remember correctly. Like it's never quite finished.
     
  16. DanTekGeek

    DanTekGeek Master Sergeant

    yup, whole lot of wires, and radiation. i had a blast, exspecially because me and dad were the only ones on the tour. so, do you work at UBC? or is BC research seperate? what kind of research do you do? and yes, still more and more is being built there.

    P.S. Happy BC day!

    gonna watch the fireworks tommorow night?

    Thanks - Day off on Monday.

    I won't be at the fireworks. It's a zoo. If you go, stick close to your family. There can be trouble with drunken rowdies sometimes.

    Tomorrow is gay pride day too. I won't be at that either.

    And there's a Japanese festival on Powell Street if I remember correctly.

    Mmmm... Sushi.

    You're welcome. I hope you have a good time. Vancouver is a great city, especially when you get this kind of weather. Usually it rains.
