Just connect me to the internet somehow

December 18th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

Problem: We all spend plenty time trying to connect to the internet in places where we know we do have it (hotels, coffee shops etc) and places where we’re just curious.

Solution: Given that we go through similar steps every time, why not write a computer program to do it. Program should go through every unsecured wireless network one by one and:

  • Connect to it
  • If it connects, see if a web browser will load a page
  • If it loads some page you weren’t expecting, look for some sort of “accept agreement” or “connect” buttons and click them
  • If still got no internet, try the next public network

I’d imagine this can all be done from a taskbar app.
