It's been the [LIFTED] week... Management in here are organising ridiculous meetings ranging from 20 mins to 3 hours. NONE OF WHICH WILL ACHIEVE JACK [LIFTED].

ION, I've got a free rental with Blockbuster for a brand new game and can't use it since I've got two games out :evil:

Belated morning! Yup, now living out in Penparcau. Working for Tai Ceredigion in Lampeter (lots of miles on the old Series!) Drink sounds like a plan! Shall have to let me know when the train drops you off in Aber. Be nice to have a beer and a catch-up. :-)

Yes, I was having a mosey through there... Found it mildly ironic that the photo on there is the day I moved back to Wales for good (for Uni) and I finally log back on here having just completed a 4-year degree!

My nose is Norwegian? :shock:

Will that be enough to get you through the Norwegian passport control?

Ah I see, and that's a fair few miles! I'm no longer on the train, got a van, just a crappy Renault Kangoo but the company pays for the fuel (I need it in case I get called in). Usually get home at the latest by 17:30, and am on call every other week (from now until next Friday now :( )

Finally, after three weeks and now mentioning ofcom, Orange were able to give me the MAC code.

They also mention my usage being high (1TB) which IMO is ridiculous since it's on a 2MB line and it's only used from 6pm - midnight at the most. A brief calculation shows it's possible if I'm continuously using the 2MB connection but in all honesty, doesn't sound right. Will need to monitor my downloads.

That's more than just "high". The average user is about 10GB per month, so you're using enough for an entire exchange. This often means there's a virus on the network, or your wireless is being used by someone else.

Or they're wrong.

Does the interwebs feel really slow? 2Mb should feel perfectly snappy.

They were trying to get me on to one of their unlimited broadband packages which leads me to believe that it's an erroneous figure. I'll do another virus scan later today to check all computers but my iPhone and my PS3 tend to spend the most time connected.

That reminds me of another problem, which I'll post in the software/network section section.

My mum has been intefering to get me to patch things up with my sister (long story, made every effort I could for the past 3 years (including driving her from Newcastle to London after christmas as I was down in Reading), she was a stuck up cow about it). Apparently I'm expected to apologise for pretty much nothing to extend the metaphorical olive branch :roll:
