I had intended blogging through last week - from the ICT and SME project meeting in Valencia and the European Conference on Educational Research in Dublin. But it did not prove so easy.

first the usual technical struggle. True both venues had wireless networks. Took me a few days to sort out the proxy server settings and I could get to the web. But that was it. No way would they let Ecto through their firewalls - or let me use my email client for that matter.

Web interfaces are fine for sending a quick email or a short blog entry. But they are still not good enough for proper work.
