I'm in Newcastle at the moment, staying in a very nice hotel down by the river. The hotel is nice, it's catering to the needs of the connected traveller less so. £20 (!!!) for 24 hours of access to their wireless network. But it only works in the 'public areas'. In my room, there's a modem port ! A modem port ? My computer doesn't even have a place to plug the other end of the wire, and I no longer have an ISP to whom I could direct a phone call. Bizarre. A modem, indeed. I guess this means the lobby will be full of towel-wrapped travellers tomorrow morning, sucking down e-mail and feeds to read before their day begins... I'll see you there... :-)
