Well, almost. I´m right now in the Internet stations area because the wireless here sucks, I can sometimes connect and sometimes cannot to the free wi-fi access points. I can connect to the hotel Wi-Fi, but it´s operated by Swiss Eurospot and you have to pay 13.92 euros for 24 hours or like 6.00 euros for an hour. Not really worth it, I did spend for just one 24 hour time period but that´s it.
Anyways, I finished my presentation yesterday and it went very well! Lots of people came up to me to ask about my research work and they commended on a great presentation. I had a remark from someone saying that it´s good to see a Computer Science person speak well, so that was a great compliment for me, as I want to improve my speaking skills. Yesterday afternoon, there was a tour of Bilbao and Getxo, and we went to have a late dinner at the Cider House. I´ll post more details when I have a chance to process all the millions of photos I took as well as podcasts from the iPod. I made lots of friends and got business cards, so this now increases my social network which is really great!
I am going to be off to Barcelona this afternoon and then I´ll fly back to Paris and then back to Toronto, where I have to finish a journal paper a day after I get back. Don´t know when I´ll post the photos and podcasts and other stuff from the conference on the blog, but keep posted!
As they say in Spanish, Gracias San Sebastian and IADIS, I enjoyed this conference (especially the tour, and the food which I´ll post later!!!) :)
