Busy work day today. I’m off on a conference that took up the whole of this evening and will eat up pretty much all of tomorrow. And I’m looking forward to every minute of it. When did *that* happen?

However, the really cool thing is that both the conference venue and the hotel I’m staying in tonight have completely free internet access. Free WiFi at [Sandown Park](http://www.sandown.co.uk/conference2/welcome.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) and free wired broadband in the room at [Oatlands Park](http://www.oatlandsparkhotel.com/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

So, I’m keeping up with e-mail, IMing family and friends, listening to podcasts and even getting some blogging done, without it costing me a penny extra. That’s customer service. That’s what will bring me back to places like this.
