Seen a gap in "The Horse's Mouth" for the last couple of days? For the first time in quite a while, I've been offline ... running an onsite course during the day, staying at a hotel without network connectivity and where even my backup mobile phone is out of range overnight. Contract customers and others please note - the ladies in the office have been receiving copies of your messages so I would have been alerted. In the event of any emergency, I would have been down at the MacDonald's a few miles up the road, or sitting in the field at the top of the hill behind my hotel where, I understand, my mobile would work ... to fulfill my commitments.
OK - I'm slightly peeved at the hotel chain. "We will soon have wifi available at all our locations" has been their claim for six months, and I've seen no lack of service in other recent hotels visited. Am I being unreasonable in thinking that the words "soon installing wifi" kind of implies in the next couple of months - how "soon" is "soon" for getting a network connection fitted?
Hasn't stopped me writing and there's a timelessness about some of the pieces written, so I'll follow up with a couple more posts after this note.
