China O'Reilly Foo Camp - no wifi!@#!

Image173 Tim O'Reilly is here in China for the first ever China Foo camp. I had to post this from my mobile because IBM, the local organizing partner, was somehow unable to organize a wireless internet connection!

Funny that China's grassroots bloggers are better at organizing a Web2.0 conference than a major U.S. multinational...

UPDATE: I managed to hook up to a landline and am now broadcasting a signal via my MacBook Pro to other people in the room.

UPDATE2: After lunch they finally got a wifi signal working in the main hall. For a while they were projecting a live chat via Jiwai (same as they used at CNbloggercon) but then it stopped. That conversation continues online though.
