blogger conference starts in south africa

a two day blogging conference starts at Rhodes University, South Africa
from today 14th september to 15 september check at the conference blog at
http://dci.ru.ac.za/blog/
the venue of the conference is the Fine Art Building, unfortunately does not have Internet
something to do with the "conference WIFI" which provides access to conference delegates on the rhodes network is not working in the particular building
in order for blogging conference delegates to get access in the fine Art building, they must be given access to "rhodes WIFI" which is not possible
we see how this precious asset = internet is made available in the Fine Art Building
so I am sitting at Africa Media Matrix, the new home of Rhodes Journalism and Media Studies department blogging instead of sitting in the opening ceremony
though I would walk over there soon
