Another week has zoomed by SO fast ... and now it is December, and time to eat little chocolates from advent calendars. If your mom has not sent you an advent calendar of your own, then you can have fun here and learn what's going on too!
During the week I went to the Cameo cinema (it's been a long time) and saw the latest Coen brothers film, The Man Who Was Not There. As I find all Coen brothers films, it was interesting and thought provoking ... and strange. I would recommend seeing it though!
My UML course finished this week too, and I got a certificate verifying that I ... had been to all five classes. Further reading is still required before I can use this is anger, methinks.
After six or 12 months or procrastination, I finally signed on the dotted line for ADSL. I read a load of reviews in uk.telecom.broadband, did a lot of SP comparisons on http://www.dslguide.org.uk and have gone with a company called Zen. Oh yeah, I also liked the name the best. :-) The downsides are ... the cost, and that they are not doing any more home installs until they upgrade their main Inet interconnects from 34Mbps to 155Mbps. Patience is something I can often lack, especially if it has taken me so long to decide what to do! I've been told that it will be all sorted before the end of the year - watch this space!
After months and months of flawless service, DSVR, where I host this site and handle my mail, had some nasty problems, leaving me lost in cyberspace, with mail getting bounced. I decided the time had come to actually pay for my hosting, but the next option DSVR have is 300 pounds / year. After some research (thanks, Grant) I have discovered http://www.phpwebhosting.com, so started to move my site there, only to find I am snarled up in some account management issues at Network Solutions. Ah dear!
