ZendCon - Sneaky WiFi
Hopefully, this will be useful to other conference attendees, if any of you are reading this:
It seems that the Hotel's wifi system is networked together in a rather annoying way: if you first acquire a wifi connection up in the room, it asks you to pay for it. But if you first acquire your connection downstairs in the conference area, it gives it to you for free, no matter where you roam in the hotel.
My laptop ran out of juce during the last session I attented, so when I went back to my room, it didn't have wireless access. Going back downstairs to the front desk area and re-connecting to the network fixed that, and now the wifi works in my room again.
