A Blog with a View

Continuing the theme of blogging from places other than my study, I write this short note from the Brewers Fayre Pub at Newport Isle of Wight. It's sort of serious for Carol as she is going for a job interview but for me it's the opportunity to take a day off and visit the Isle of Wight again. The weather has been quite good today and although it was probably going to be too windy for my little boat there were plenty of small boats around Yarmouth and Cowes. We return tomorrow afternoon and then its off to our neighbours birthday party.

Been a quiet weekend apart from the trip though but... and I hardly dare mention it but it would seem that I might have finally rid myself of Sky and have signed up with a new broadband provider Newnet. I got the line ceased on Friday thanks to a very helpful guy at BT - see they do exist, but in relatively smll numbers. Placed the order on Friday sfternoon and I am crossing fingers that the order will be processed without any fuss. Disappointed that I didn't manage to get my own back on Sky - but perhaps I will in August when the 12 month contract has expired. I have gone for the 8 MByte 25 GByte package and the report on the forums rate this company as being quite good - I hope that's true.

It's Easter weekend soon and with Carol revising I will be getting a few jobs done, visiting the Gym and sailing - same as usual really but quite nice really. No toys this month but the storage space on my data drive is getting low and rather than clear off the junk that I usually keep on there I thought I might buy another hard drive, however I don't have a spare SATA port so I have purchased a card to sort that out.

That's about it really look out in the future for a guest blogger...
