Next time I am going away

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

OK so I was naive – I went along with the idea that staying home and cooking for eight people was a fun way of spending 25 December: I really should know better! While I was slaving over a hot stove there were dozens of Hotels in London offering a way out, where I could [...]

Mailboxes

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

Wireless Network Help

Friday, December 14th, 2007

I learned something new today, and that is the whole niche of wireless landlords.  These are the smart cookies who make the roof of their property available for rent by the phone and internet companies to place cell towers on top.
