December 8th, 2007 No Comments »Just to make Uncle Paddy jealous, here’s the speedtest results for my nice new broadband connection:
Yes, it’s synching at 16Mbps, and I’m getting 14Mbps. Next week, I’ll be getting more upload bandwidth too. So… you should all now be able to watch the videos in our album without waiting for them to download first.
A word of advice for anyone else deciding to move to bethere.co.uk though. The BeBox they supply is pants. I’ve resorted to using it purely as an ADSL modem and NAT router. Wifi is is being performed by my Netgear DG834G, and my server now does the DHCP and DNS for the network.
Oh yes, that thing in an egg….
December 7th, 2007 1 Comment »…… it was a baby dinosaur of course!
Saturday morning I drove to a camp site at the foot of Cadair Idris in North Wales… pitched up the tent then set off with the usual crowd to the summit. Was a nice walk with only a bit of wind and the odd small hail shower thrown in. The summit was surprisingly busy for December to be honest especially as we passed nobody else on the way up our route.
Once down it was Daz’s home-made chilli for tea and a few hours of talking rubbish around the camp fire. There was only one small interruption when Garry locked his keys inside his car with his stereo on. To save us from listening to that all night there was a window / rock solution provided by Matt, followed up by a cling film bandaid curtousy of Daz.
Anyway, I’m back in one piece despite the damp field I woke up in this morning and the tent will be drying out in the garage for the next few weeks no doubt.
