Escape From The Planet Of The Apes

When I set up my home/office wireless after switching broadband providers, I called the downstairs router’s network ‘Planet Of The Apes.’ And why not? ‘Andy Clarke’s Network’ is a boring name. (And Planet Of The Apes is a better movie than Star Wars.)

Then I called the Airport Extreme extended upstairs network ‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes’ and the Airport Express I keep under my desk ‘Beneath The Planet Of The Apes.’

I bought a mifi today because I’m working in London a fair bit over the next few months and the client site doesn’t have open wifi. I could stick with the network’s given name, 3MobileWiFi-c602, but ‘Escape From The Planet Of The Apes’ seems much, much more appropriate.
