[Palindrome] Update on the wireless situation



Hi,

I just spent some time trying to charm the folks over at the Center for Ultracold Atoms (the floor our rooms are on) to let us run ethernet cable down their hallways. I met with some success: they were willing to help me out, especially the young administrative lady and this old gruff professor-looking dude, who said "it sounds fine to me."

However, we still weren't able to figure out a solution. The room that seemed the best bet, which is the room right next to ours, has no ethernet access. All the other rooms on that floor are offices, so we could try talking to the office owners tomorrow morning, because pretty much nobody was in right now.

One thing that might work is if Pturnips (or one of the other teams on the third floor) let us use one of their wired drops; I believe Pturnips is directly above us, and they definitely have wired port(s). But I don't know about relying on another mystery hunt team for this purpose, unless you guys are really friendly with them.
