Happy birthday, mrpandabehr, <user site="livejournal.com" user=

...and many happy returns of the day. Obviously this was an auspicious date on which to be born!

I gather this is the guy whose tongue was almost bitten off by a trick(?). The video sounds like he's speaking with only part of a tongue...

I now have my new broadband provider

...and O2 is really good. While it was easy to set up the router, the instructions are meant for the clueless and I'd really like a more sophisticated router (the only available wireless security is WEP, for example). However, I now have 12Mb download and 3.7Mb upload. That really beats BT all to hell and back.

BT turned itself off this morning around 10, and I activated my Pay-As-You-Go mobile broadband router and paid £2 for a day's worth of surfing, on the off chance that they wouldn't install the O2 equipment until then. However, I suspect they installed it immediately, and didn't text me until 5 pm, by which time I was already dressing for my evening meeting at the diocese.

Anyone out there know whether I can use another router on this O2 line, and, if so, which ones? I want one with better controls (clueless controls are basic and don't allow for a lot of variation).

Tomorrow I ask to move my Vodafone numbers over to O2, and the job is then pretty much done.

Thanks to fj and spwebdesign for turning me on to O2. It's said that satisfied customers are your best salespeople, and in O2's case, that's very true.

Sad anniversary

Today is the 10th anniversary of the Admiral Duncan bombing here in London. Three people were killed and eighty were wounded. Spare a thought for all those who were affected by the bombing, please.
