I paid to get better wifi on our Southwest flight to Las Vegas for the librarian’s conference – but it’s not that much better. Takes a long time to access pages, and doing things like spell check on my comments on student work in the dropbox in the UW’s Learn@UW courseware can be really painful. Even creating a new post in Word Press takes a long time. For awhile I kept getting all these “0 response” from the website you’re trying to reach messages from Squid – who must be SW’s ISP – and I was starting to think maybe Squid was blocking Blue Host – but it was happening on wisc.edu sites as well.<\/p>\n

And, oh – hello – things are not much better here in Vegas. The only place where I’ve found free wifi is the Convention Center – and the hotdog place where I had lunch.<\/p>\n
