Hotel Nikko, Osaka

On route back to an extended trip to the U.S., I am staying overnight in the Hotel Nikko, at the Kansai International Airport in Osaka.
Note, THEY DO NOT HAVE INTERNET ACCESS FROM ROOMS. Unless you want to pay for dial-up by the minute….

The "business center" which is open until 9pm offers broadband, however it would not play nice with my notebook and therefore I could not connect. Note that they have NO technical staff on hand to resolve issues like this. So, I am in the "lobby" of the airport writing up this post at 12:48am. Why am I here? I am taking advantage of their wireless hotspots, as I have a deadline to meet (which are not accessible from the hotel). So, if you have to get something done and have net access, DO NOT STAY AT THE HOTEL NIKKO in Osaka..unless you like hanging out in the airport in the wee hours of the morning.
The lights just went out and airport security guards are eyeing me in an unpleasant manner, so I guess it is time to head back to hotel hell....

You have been warned....

Hi Kris.

I have imagined you making a Flash interface in the lobby of the airport :)
Sounds like you can't run away from the deadline even by a jetplane.
I hope you can find some time to be relaxed in your home town.
Have a nice trip.
