I did notice – once i’d uploaded it – shades of Barbara and Dynamic Earth, but I guessd you wouldnt mind. Could ahve put one of those blurry blobs over it like on faces on TV.

I do like wireless networks, I just think they have their place. I think big problem must be interference – cordless phones for ex. work on the same freq. band and microwaves emitt radio wave radiation (not m-waves) on the same sort of freq. – sit in the kitchen with the laptop , turn on microwave, warch the wireless connection get very bad (or even drop altogether – our used to until I changed the channel number)

And there seems to be loads of WTF moments, like sitting 3 feet from a wireless AP which you computer then says it can’t find !

I suspect that the problem with ISP’s is lots of us are to stingy to pay what it costs – the consumer market is heading very much in a never mind the quality how cheap is it sort of mentality – and in that sort of situation service goes. I think there are good isps – such as AAISP – but you pay for it (our old isp Metronet was pretty good, until they got bought up by Plus…)

thanks. SB did a lovely dance. I asked chris today if he thought I might mind a video of me bf BB on the internet. i don’t think he had paid it much attention, but I guess he knew I wouldn’t really!

Our wireless network is being weird again after months of working perfectly. The wrong shirt sounds like a pretty good theory.

Yay! Me and Ms R were clapping wildly at the end of the firefly dance. It was really good and the soundtrack was great too!

I go for wired networking, long patch cables and not checking email on the toilet. It seems to be simpler that way.

I have tried several ISPs, and TBH I don’t think there is a good one. FWIW, I think ours (plus) is about as good as it gets, so long as you can get by without any support, because they are a bunch of useless, self-important idiots. We can’t get very high speeds, because we are a long way from the exchange, but mostly the connection is ok and we get static IPs which is nice.

We are trying to puzzle out just how much Small knows about letters and numbers – all we know so far is that he is another blonde.

Love the Firefly, Big honours us from time to time with “shows” a little in the same vein – wild dancing and song.
