The Cloud is still kicking it for me

As much as I’m annoyed by walking into a supposedly ‘The Cloud-WiFi’ connected pub in Hartlepool and finding no connection, I really have to say I’m continually delighted by the fact that The Cloud does, generally speaking, work. Very well. When I arrived at Liverpool Street Station, I was able to do that very geeky but rather satisfying sigh. It’s an internal sigh of relief, of connectivity. If you’re an ultra geek, I’m sure you’ll understand.

I flipped open the laptop and did a further sigh of relief when I saw the “WiFi Zone – The Cloud” SSID flash across the top of my screen as I connected.

I would like to avoid having to login every time, although their cookie (or, perhaps Safari’s own password ‘rememberer’) fills in my details automatically. I would like it if all my devices suddenly got wifi access when they came into a The Cloud zone — multiple mac addresses per account. That would be a useful addition.
