I have heard that this is supposed to be a wicked winter in terms of the amount of snow, not too too cold but alot!!! of snow, its got something to do with the mild tempertures? just what I heard..we will have to wait and see

Anything exciting happening in the last two weeks of October that my mother and I should check out when we visit Hamilton for my second fact finding mission and walk about the city trying to get a feel for the place? I think my mother is sold on the idea of a move to Hamilton, I just need to cement the concept just a little more. Shame my step-father isn't going this time, he's our stumbling block.

During my visit, I'd like to swing by some recruiters, so what the job market is like and salary expectations, etc.

Can anyone recommend any recruiters/recruitment agencies that deal mainly with IT related jobs in the Hamilton area.

I'm trying to avoid having to commute to Toronto for work, if I possibly can.

Also, speaking of WiFi, where are good spots to sit down, grab a coffee (well a cup of tea in my case or a hot chocolate), watch the world go by while surfing the net on my netbook?

Had to post a pic because I LOVE my new toy!

Anywhere in downtown Hamilton has free wifi coverage.

I can see WIRELESSHAMILTON from here but can't connect to it

omro · #**229** Posted **Oct 12, 2008, 7:16 PM**

Are you well inside the coverage zone?

He should be (James/Rebecca?).

Yeah I might try going outside to eliminate the thick layer of concrete from the equasion. It would be cool if I could drop the DSL and use the public wifi all the time but I fear it's probably not all that reliable or fast.

that WirelessHamilton thing is CRAP.
I haven't been able to connect once, despite being in the coverage area and seeing the signal on my airport.
I called the city for help and the guy said "I don't think that's working yet"....thanks bud.

Think you live past west of Queen St so obviously you won't get access.

raisethehammer · #**234** Posted **Oct 13, 2008, 1:14 AM**

I'm talking about when I'm downtown at cafes/restaurants/parks etc.... hasn't worked once.

SteelTown · #**235** Posted **Oct 13, 2008, 1:17 AM**

Works all the time for me, I have ipod touch. Though it's easy with the ipod touch, autmoatically picks up wifi connection for me.

I hate the way the wireless relays mounted on streetposts interfere with my bluetooth stereo headset connection to my BlackBerry. Messes up listening to my favourite tunes as I walk home.

Actually, it hasn't been working for about a week-or-so now. I think the trial is over? Try emailing them to find out.

I haven't been able to connect when waiting for the bus, and it's pretty much right beside a Router. So I think it's done (for now).

Wireless Hamilton was working for me yesterday, but only around Gore Park.
