    Re: Slow Thursdays

    been busy trying to fix someones computer - the road next to the one where the lightning blew up the house. everyone in the road has had something blow up in their house, be it TV, routers, moibile phones on charge or even their answer phone. looking like the ethernet port on mobo is dead, luckily i have a spare PCI lan card to check things.

    ordered £190 of stuff from scan, should hopefully be at shopmob tomorrow (hope they dont think its for them)

    currently sat round mates house playing with the cat, she's very ticklish and has just eaten a few flies so at least i dont need to feed her

    will be back home by 6, so should get down to my usual 'quality' posting that i know you all love to read

    Tis the weather mate.

    Most peoples keyboards are melting now. Either that or the PC is off cooling as their overclocks are past their TDP or more likely they are away in real life doing things like BBQ's, getting attacked by dive-bombing midgies and stuff like that.

    As for me... elbow deep in nappies and playing with Hayden while trying to parcel up some goodies.

    Plus it's too damn hot to sit in front of my PC as the room temp is nigh on 35 degrees (celcius - not that old fangled farenheit stuff)

    Re: Slow Thursdays

    I've been busy sorting out stuff for the new flat and generally moving in etc.

    getting pretty tired of not having fixed broadband. At least I get a better signal on my phone, so response times on the forums are a lot better

    Same here. Got my PAYG dongle plugged into my router. I get 2Mbps sometimes. I think it's their proxy that slows it down the most.

    Still, my Be* gets activated on Tuesday
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    For me it's signal. Granite building are great at shielding 2100MHz 3G signals
