sorted out the home net access for a while. BT's Home Arseway is being installed soon which will give me 64k ISDN and my parents will have their phone line back.

I've been doing a lot of reading recently, all technical stuff and all Linux related. It's also all being done whilst I'm at work, whenever I'm not on a call I'm reading up on either the Linux kernel or GTK+ etc.

When I've not been at work my new web site is being played with, although it's not going live yet. I've also started to arrange a hosting deal with a friend, so expect a link to a new home page soon.

This Xmas thing is really bugging me, decorations went up in the workplace this week and it annoys me that I can't get away from this over-commercialised (is that a word?) holiday. Wake me up when it's over please.
