Going north of the border
I’m off to not-so-sunny (current temperature 13°C) Edinburgh for a week-long conference, so updates may be sparse unless I manage to blag some free WiFi1. Does anyone know of any good, free WiFi hotspots in the city centre?
I’m giving two talks, and it’s a conference outside my discipline, so it should be… interesting.
1 Mr. Bsag calls me ‘WiFi’ every now and again. I hope he means 802.11g, not 802.11b—-I’d hate to be nearly defunct.

Might I suggest the Apple Store in the Bullring? Free WiFi abounds...

Is this the IJCAI conference by any chance? I was there on saturday for the computational models of natural language workshop. Unfortunately I was at AAMAS last week and can't afford another week away from writing up my thesis so I won't be staying for the rest of the conference proper.
If you are at IJCAI then you should find that there is pretty good wireless coverage over the conference site but you have to sign a disclaimer at the conference reception to enable you to connect officially.
What sessions are you presenting in?

Lyle: Yeah, I know---it's a bit sad, isn't it?
Saltation: :-D
Rob: I was looking for free Wi-Fi in Edinburgh, not Brum (I can get it at home for free
), but it's a good tip for others.
Simon: Yep
And there's free wireless at the main conference too. I gave a presentation at one of the tutorials (very last minute), and I'm giving another at the end of the week in a session on Philosophy. Not that I'm either a Philosopher or a Computer Scientist. It's been fun so far, though, and of course I feel very comfortable being surrounded by fellow geeks.
