The hotel wi-fi here at Au Contraire continues to be crappy, but we have a work-around. My pal Errol has got my laptop tethered to an iPhone (one with a local account, not my phone on data roaming) and I am using it to create this blog post from the hotel lobby. Doing the coverage of the Vogel Awards tonight should be nice and easy.
Also I’m pleased to see this technology working, because my iPhone is unlocked and I’m planning to buy an Aussie SIM for it when I get to Melbourne. That gives us a backup for the Hugos.

You are either brave or foolhardy or really, really good with technology. I would feel I was inviting disaster if I made that claim.
Looking forward to Worldcon posts.
It may yet come back to bite me, but the iPhone tethering is way easier than struggling with the hotel wi-fi.
Also it is Errol who is good with the tech, not me.
And lo, like falling off a log, it was. 🙂
