ADSL: A Daily Service Loss
2007-11-19 12:53:00 For the past few months, every evening around sunset, my (ADSL) broadband connection at home has been 'drying up'. By this, I mean that the throughput has got smaller and smaller until eventually there has been no incoming or outcoming bandwidth available at all. If left alone, after an hour or two, the situation tends to correct itself but with sunset currently occuring during the working day, it's annoying to lose internet connectivity at these times.At first I thought the problem might be to do with my ISP, Sky Broadband, but a quick scan of the rather useful, but unofficial, Sky User Forums didn't seem to indicate that others were suffering the same problems as me (though there were one or two veiled comments about how the connection sometimes dropped at night).My next thought turned to my home installation. I'm quite a way from the local exhange and as such only get a connection speed of approximately 4 Mbps downstream and more like 0.4 Mbps upstream...

NBC and Apple Split: Much Ado About Nothing
2007-09-01 22:25:00 Much hand wringing, phosphor, and ink over the news that NBC shows won't be for sale any more on iTunes. According to Apple, that's because it didn't want to go along with an NBC price hike that would have raised the per-episode download price to consumers from $1.99 to $4.99...But, you know what? They're both wrong. NBC's wrong, sure, for wanting to get more money for its downloaded shows, but iTunes and NBC were both wrong, in the first place, for even the $1.95 charge.Most people already know that that you can see episodes of most major shows for free, on the NBC or whatever network's web site - not to mention bittorent and all the rest.The world of television consumption is changing, almost by the minute, and it's going in the direction of people watching whatever they want, when they want, and not paying for it. Actually, there's probably a shorter distance between this and traditional free television in your living room than download and pay.NBC and Apple are usua...

Much Ado about Nothing
2007-06-14 19:51:00 There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth this morning concerning the near-instantly over civil war among the Palestinians. Why? When one places that many murderous ‘pieces of shyte’ together in a small bit of land one should expect murder. After all, there is no Honor among thieves - or Muslims. Bull, out.

Storm Track Disinformation: Terrorism? Much Ado About Nothing
2007-06-09 19:40:00 From The Gathering Storm Blog ?You are going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites you on the ass.? That quote from Matt Hooper in the movie Jaws pretty much foretells the outcome of the Left because of their beliefs about the war on terror. As I wrote in a previous blog, Who?s ...
Much Ado About Nothing......
2007-05-26 01:59:00 I nearly sprayed my coffee over the computer screen when I read the following article. Obviously some people are very jittery after the Virginia Tech and other recent shootings.Prosthetic leg prompts lock down - Yahoo! NewsBELLINGHAM, Wash. - The woman suspected foul play was afoot; she just had no idea what it was. Police barricaded streets near a branch of St. Joseph Hospital after that woman called to report a man with an assault rifle walking into a medical office building. The assault rifle turned out to be a prosthetic leg, Bellingham Police Deputy Chief David Doll said.Police searched the building floor by floor. When no suspect was found, police evacuated the building and the woman who reported the incident spotted the office worker who had carried the leg, The Bellingham Herald reported."Everyone did everything right," Doll said. "Like we hoped, it turned out to be a good situation today."The scare brought a response from several agencies, including the Whatcom County Sheri...
The Battle of the Beltway -- A Much Ado About Nothing...
2007-05-18 18:06:00 Well, the two baseball teams of the Mid-Atlantic region meet up this weekend in Washington D.C., as the Nationals take on the Orioles at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium. With both teams going through attendance woes due to the play on the field, and the lack of promotion of this series; to be quite honest, I don?t see much to this rivalry at the moment.From what I can see living in covering both teams and living in the cross-hairs of Washington and Baltimore, it generates some exctiment, but it?s not a ?must-see?. With the Nats playing good baseball this week, and the Orioles tanking and stumbling at the moment, no one knows what to expect. With the exception of Ryan Zimmerman and Miguel Tejada (to a lesser extent Nick Markakis and Brian Roberts), there?s not much star power at all to drive the rivalry to another level.If anything, fans from Baltimore who come to Washington D.C. get to take an inexpensive road trip, and Washington fans who go up to Baltimore get to see a game in a newer b...

An Apple Rant but Really Much Ado About Nothing!
2007-05-16 16:34:00 I bumped into an article at the Design Observer titled: What If Apple Is Bad for Design? and was first excited but quickly became seriously appalled. It was poorly argued, very disjointed, and really a huge fuss over nothing. I’m also surprised as the author is apparently supposed to be a fairly ...

Making much ado about nothing
2007-04-14 21:32:00 Okay this is rich. New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, dressed in drag as a role in ‘Victor/Victoria,’- and sings with Julie Andrews in this March 1997 above. Now the question being asked is will voters care? In my estimation this is absurd. This was acting, fun - why all this ado about nothing? Are we desperate to make a fuss over everything? It is difficult to shock New Yorkers, yet Rudy Giuliani teetered close to the line when he sauntered onto a stage wearing a platinum-blond wig, a face full of makeup, dainty white gloves and a frilly pink gown filled out in all the right places. His appearance at an annual political roast was exactly 10 years ago, and at the time, the idea of the tough-talking mayor in a busty ball gown raised eyebrows but was mostly accepted as a good joke ? adhering to an unwritten rule for the shenanigans that take place at the roast, known as the Inner Circle dinner. Shortly after winning re-election that year, Giuliani took his feminine side ...
A much ado about nothing, or not!
2007-03-15 13:20:00 Now that Microsoft's Vista operating system is rolled out expect to see a fair bit of hype about their "native" photo gallery/management features built into the software. They do look good but don't despair most of these features are already available in XP, or free downloadable packages like picasa. Seeing all the hype I feel a little series of post on what you can do now without vista is warranted. So watch this space for future posts However if you want to follow the "official" vista story, check out Microsoft's own Photo Blog & Vista Blog

much ado about nothing
2006-12-02 04:59:13 I came across this while bloghopping yesterday and I thought I was reading my own entry but it wasn?t mine. Sure, a meme posted in one blog is supposed to be shared and can be passed from one blog to another. But when you answered a meme and post it as your own, make sure that you have at least added a dash of originality in your answers and as much as possible not a bit trace of the source?s answers. I noticed that she posted her entry a week after mine.Well, it?s just a meme. But it could be worse.
