Well I’m on the last day of my vacation before the ITHET conference. It has been really tough becuase there is no real place to work on the Internet except for these “locked” Internet Cafe style terminals. It’s been hell. I feel like a junkie and I’ve been needing a fix, reeeaaall BAD! So I sent my family to the pool while I check e-mail and other things this morning. It’s amazing how critical the Internet is in my life now.

Unless the conference has free wireless, or at least improved access, it is going to be tough staying up to date during the conference. Although $4 a half hour is not bad. It is extremely inconvenient. Another challenge is there is no business center or similar (oh yeah I miss my spell checker too) facility so I can finish, and start , my slides for Friday.

The family flies back tomorrow, so I’ll have to hunker down in the room with the free beer flowing to finish my slides. Wow, that sounds rough!!!
