Gina bought me the game Secrets of the Tombs for my birthday. Unfortunately there were some parts missing from the box, but fortunately the manufacturer posted out spares immediately when I contacted them. [more...]

Nildram have just emailed me a "welcome letter" telling me when my ADSL will be connected, and how to get started.

Er, guys, it was connected last Wednesday...

Joshua: "Daddy, what's this?"
Me: "It's a Rubik's cube. Sort of a puzzle."
Joshua: twizzle twist twizzle "Can you put it back again?"
Me: "Errrr." [more...]

Coming soon...

I saw two BT vans parked outside the local telephone exchange today. Couldn't have anything to do with the impending ADSL activation. Could it? Please?

ADSL
9:32am, Friday 17 September 2004

I've ordered ADSL (at last, they cry). I went with Nildram because they do a "managed conversion" from that obscure ISDN technology which is the best connection currently available in these rural parts. They have a reasonable reputation, but I had wanted to go with Zen who have a fantastic reputation, and are cheaper for a routed block of addresses.
