<p>1) Does Brown have a wireless campus, or even specific areas? (I believe some places like the Main Green do, but I’m not sure)</p>
<p>2) Crap. I forgot the second one. It’ll come to me…hopefully…</p>
<p>I know parts of the campus are wireless now. There's a map out there somewhere. I think it's mostly dorms and large buildings. When I visited in September my tour guide told us that they hoped to have the whole campus wireless by the fall, but that seems like wishful thinking to me. But who knows?</p>
<p>If you do a search, I asked about wireless a while ago and I think someone posted a link to a map, or at least listed the wireless places.</p>
<p>Thanks, I found it. It's such a handy little feature, but I always forget there's a search engine. Fall, huh, Kamelia? I suppose we'll have to wait and see...I still don't remember my other question. Stupid, worthless long-term memory...</p>
<p>It's not mostly dorms - in fact, that is the least covered place. If you think about it, this is intelligent, as there is no shortage of network taps in dorms. That said, some dorms are starting to be wireless-enabled. </p>
<p>So far, however, it's mostly libraries and academic buildings that are enabled. The wireless grew over the course of last year, and I find that with my IBM thinkpad (read: good antenna) I get coverage most places, so it's nice. The map online makes it look like there's less coverage than there is.</p>
<p>is your antenna internal?</p>
<p>I'm still debating whether or not to try to install an antenna into my thinkpad (and probably kill the laptop by taking it apart) or if a regular PCMCI antenna is good enough for normal use?</p>
<p>It is, in the screen.</p>
<p>I haven't done a side-by-side comparison of internal vs. external, though. I think I wouldn't tempt fate.</p>
<p>Does anyone know of any good gut classes to take? Thanks. That still wasn't my original question, though. I have yet to think of it. Also, how does auditioning for the university bands and choirs work? Anyone?</p>
<p>EN 9, of course.</p>
<p>haha...................................................ha</p>
<p>Auditioning for bands and choirs: it depends on which one. If you are interested in getting into a department ensemble, those auditions are usually well-advertised within the music department, but you can always go there and ask (orwig office, at the corner of hope and young orchard, on the first floor). They print sheets with all the audition schedules and post them on bulletin boards. You can also e-mail the professors who head up the programs to ask:
Choral programs-Fred Jodry
Band/Jazz Band/Combos-Matt McGarrell
Orchestra-Paul Phillips</p>
<p>Brown student bands: visit the COBAB website <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Students/COBAB/%5B/url%5D">http://www.brown.edu/Students/COBAB/</a> for the names of contacts. Some of the people listed have graduated, but surely they'd be able to at least direct you to the right people.</p>
<p>A cappella groups: They advertise their auditions VERY thoroughly, which usually begin around the second week after classes start. You can also find postings about them on the jolt, and there is also an address for more a cappella info: <a href="mailto:a_cappella@brown.edu">a_cappella@brown.edu</a></p>
<p>Lisa: I love you. You're so helpful! :) You're without a doubt my hero. Right up there with Gandhi...</p>
