About

I recently relocated for new employment. I've been staying in an extended stay hotel for about 3 weeks now. The hotel I'm staying in gives its guests free Wifi access. However, it requires users to accept terms and conditions on a splash page via browser interface before they can use the network. This makes it difficult to use my Chromecast with the network, as it doesn't have a means of accessing that splash page. While I could call the IT help line, I decided to explore a work-around.

Like many networks, my hotel's network attempts to improve security by using MAC address filtering. Luckily, Mac OS X (10.4 - 10.10) makes it very easy to spoof your network card's MAC address.

Here's how to add a devices like Chromecast, AppleTV, Roku to a wireless network that requires a browser to authenticate and accept terms and conditions.

Before You Start

The Travis CI office

How to get to the Travis CI office: http://goo.gl/maps/vmidH

The address is Prinzessinnenstrasse 20, on the left driveway:

Most active GitHub users (git.io/top)

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Only first 1000 GitHub users according to the count of followers are taken. This is because of limitations of GitHub search. Sorting algo in pseudocode:

githubUsers
 .filter(user =&gt; user.followers &gt; 1000)

	begin
	Proc.new { return 42 }.call
	rescue LocalJumpError => e
	puts "LocalJumpError: exit_value=#{e.exit_value}"
	end
	#=> "LocalJumpError: exit_value=42"

	After spending the better part of the month implementing date support
	in RethinkDB, Mike Lucy sent the team the following e-mail. It would
	have been funny, if it didn't cause thousands of programmers so much
	pain. Read it, laugh, and weep!

	-----

	So, it turns out that we're only going to support dates between the
	year 1400 and the year 10000 (inclusive), because that's what boost
	supports.
