internet

To put it briefly: it sucks. We have little or no connection in our room, even when using a hotel provided WiFi connection device. We can get access in the hotel lobby, but uploading anything larger than a few KB does not work. Opening a secure shell to a machine outside the hotel, e.g., at work, is not possible. Thus, SVN access is simply fubar, as is pushing patches to a darcs repository. Uploading to flickr ... no way. Not even through the HTTP interface.

And to think the hotel is hosting a few hundred geeks attending OOPSLA.
