Live-blogging with one keyboard tied behind my back

Well, unfortunately the FDP didn't have the foresight to order Internet access in the banquet room, and although I tried, I couldn't cajole anyone from the hotel into giving up the Holy Grail, i.e. the WEP code for any of the several wireless networks my laptop is locating.

Therefore, I'm live-blogging via e-mail on my Blackberry. It'll be slower and less informative than I would have liked, and eventually this battery probably will die, but it's better than nothing.

More to come ...
