Definite sense of not much left to do on this project now. Though that could change at any time, as the business decides it wanted something else entirely on a fairly regular basis

Home, and weekend!

Not too bad there and back today, if a bit foggy

Twelve more days; four more weeks; eight hundred and forty miles - um, only if I turn round half way there: one thousand, six hundred and eighty, actually…

Sodding Virgin broadband is up the creek. Can occasionally manage bursts of around 3Mbps downstream, though usually nearer 0.1, and often zero for upstream

I'll give it a bit longer to sort itself out. That's preferable to having to deal with their service people…

Virgin's usually fine here - it's the old ntl network, though I remember when it was called Diamond Cable back in the 1980s when they installed it.

I'm sure it's damp weather that does it. It gets in the connection outside and screws up the SNR, so the modem can't get a solid upstream connection with the street box, and its log fills up with "No Ranging Response received - T3 time-out"

Being transferred to second line support. Their hold music is marginally less objectionable than first line's

Spoke too soon. Back to caterwauling

Helpful tech guy klaxon

It seems I'm connected to an upstream that has, as he put it, gone through the floor, and which he'd already logged with the network guys about half an hour ago in response to an issue raised by somebody else round here. He's added me to the ticket, so the service status should now stop saying everything's fine, and they'll let me know when it's fixed.

He couldn't say when that might be, but at least it's a known issue at their end, and he was happy to talk technicalities to some degree rather than bland patronising guff

not vivaldi then? - i used to like vivaldi, until i had to deal with service desks. i wouldn't mind if they played the whole thing, but they loop a random piece. - philistines!

Mind, you, one lot in ireland, put me off van morrison for a while, too
