Back online....

I've been seemingly silent since August 20th. This is not due to a lack of wanting to write, but we've been waiting for our broadband to be installed. That fiinally happened today.

Internet cafes are OK, but you have to pay nearly the same per hour as I'll be paying Virgin per month. We had lunch at Starbucks the other day before we discovered their WiFi wasn't free, and when I tried the local McDonalds their WiFi was down. However, on the upside I've discovered Starbucks do sell a lovely frappi-mokka-choppa-cinno coffee with a caramel topping - the first time I've ever had a coffee that didn't need any extra sugar in it. And probably the last time I'll be able to afford it for a couple of years.

Incidentally I think I got better technical support from the McDonalds front-of-house staff than I ever got from the IT helpdesk at work.....

So later on today I'll be posting a couple of articles I wrote in the quiet period.
