On not quite getting onto the Internet

Listening to:

The last desperate cries of many Japanese lung cells, screaming out in high-pitched voices as they become wild cancerous cells in the bodies of all the nearby smokers.

Hrumph

Forewarned is forearmed, so this little note is a reminder to my future self to set up a http tunnelling proxy on a machine I control. Then, when I find myself using a network connection in an airport that only allows http in & out, I will be able to forward real traffic (SSH to my home machines, for example) through the proxy and bypass this tediousness.

Given that Kansai International Airport has no bookshops on the air-side of immigration and customs, it’s not as if I will have anything else to do.
