Unlimited Internet at Airports – A free utility for Windows
In a previous article entitled How to get unlimited free Internet at Airports, I explained the concept behind getting free internet at airports and the concept behind the workaround.
In this blog post, I introduce a “one-click” solution to automate getting free internet at airports. This is very useful for those who don’t want to get their hands dirty!
Step 1 – Download and install
To get started, download the application from my GitHub repository here:
When you unzip the archive, you should have the following three files:
Run the “UnlimitedAirportInternet.exe” program to get started.
Step 2 – Get unlimited internet
If this was the first time you connect to the airport’s Wi-Fi, then you should have your free internet session for a while.
Each time you run out of free internet time, just press the “Give me more free internet” button.
You should receive an information message box when you do so. Follow the instruction as noted: Continue reading “Unlimited Internet at Airports – A free utility for Windows”

Batchography: Changing the MAC address on Windows – A free Batch script
In a previous post entitled “How to get unlimited free Internet at Airports“, I showed you how to circumvent the time limit imposed by the “free” Wi-Fi connections in certain airports.
For that trick to work, you were required to update the MAC address of your computer each time the free time is over.
In this blog post, I am going to share with you the ChangeMACAddressBatch script that I wrote with the help and instructions from the excellent Batchography book.
The script makes use of various recipes illustrated in the Batchography book (in Chapter 4) and uses the various Batch scripting language syntax (Chapters 1 and 2) and methodologies (Chapter 3). Therefore, I will not be explaining the script’s contents or how it works because it will become evident if you read the Batchography book.
Get the book from Amazon:
- Paperback edition
- E-book edition
How to use the script interactively
To begin with, you need to run the script with administrative privileges.
Running the script as an administrator
On Windows 8 and above, just press Win+X and choose “Command Prompt (Admin)” like this:
Otherwise, if you are using the Windows Explorer window, then right-click on your script and choose “Run as Administrator”:
Starting the script
When you first run the script, you will be presented with the main menu that will show you a list of all the adapters you have on your system.
On my laptop for instance, I have 4 adapters:
- An Ethernet adapter
- 2 x VMWare virtual adapters
- A Wi-Fi adapter
Using the keyboard, type the adapter number that you want to inspect and/or change its MAC address:
Let’s press “4” in this case and go inside that adapter’s information screen. Continue reading “Batchography: Changing the MAC address on Windows – A free Batch script”
Dream – Death and Reincarnation
A few month back, I had the following dream:
I was driving my car and I suddenly lost control of it and it strayed from the right all the way to the left and hit another men’s four wheeler. The other driver was not harmed but became so enraged. He stepped out of his car, shot and killed me. My body was dead but I was still able to see what’s happening around me. I was like a ghost or spirit. I could roam anywhere I want and fly.
Keyboard shortcuts for working in a remote desktop Windows Machine from your MacBook
In this blog post, I am going to share with you how to get the missing keyboard keys that let you work in MS Windows via the remote desktop client under Mac OS X with the MacBook’s keyboard.
What is important to know is that when using a MacBook’s keyboard, you don’t have all the keys that you usually have on a PC keyboard.
Essentially, you are missing the following keys:
- HOME / END.
- DEL key. This is different from the MacBook’s “Delete” key (which is equivalent to the “Backspace” key).
- INS Key.
- Page Up / Page Down.
- The “Windows” key.
