It's a new year, so nothing has changed. I've got exams this month and I'm not greatly looking forward to them. A few of them should be easy enough, but in general they're quite hard.

Blueyonder have been having trouble with their link to the US going down several times a day. Yesterday it was down for more time than it was up. Apparently it's their US peer, Connect1 or something, having trouble with their backbone, but blueyonder have only just acknowledged there's a problem despite teh fact it's been going on for about a month.

I got the new William Gibson book (All Tomorrow's Parties) so I'm giving it a read over and so far it's quite good, if a little strange in places.

Word of the day: Microprocessor
