As previously noted my broadband connection with Be has been playing up lately.

I wrote many support tickets to Be detailing how I belived it was a fault with the router they had sent me, the ‘bebox’.

So, yesterday a new bebox arrived.

I have yet to set up and test the new device but I can at least applaud Be’s customer services for responding in such a pro-active manner. Read the rest of this entry…

After my unfortunate time without broadband a few months ago (skybroadbanned.com) I was lucky enough to get back online with Be, the 24mb broadband providers.

Sadly, after just over a month of being with Be I can only report that their service has been quite terrible.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5….

I can count 5 times in the past 30 days when I have been without a connection for over 24 hours. 2 of these were due to planned outages but the other times have had no warning or explanation?

Today was the final straw. After a local power outage 2 days ago I assumed my local equipment was to blame for my lack of connectivity. however, after checking and double checking everything from my Router to my Xbox 360 it seemed this was not the case. Read the rest of this entry…

Is Yahoo! worth $50b to Microsoft??

Of course.

And its nothing to do with Yahoo! search, the millions of Yahoo! members or their unrivalled web pedigree.

Some people may forget that Yahoo! own 2 of the most popular web movements in recent years, Flickr and del.icio.us

These, along with a few other choice assets (Kelkoo, Konfabulator, See Wikipedia for more) surely make Yahoo! a $50b bargain!

Today I wanted to write about how I failed my driving test.

I planned on writing lines of text explaining my thoughts and feelings linked to the failure and detail how the physical test made me feel as a first timer at the grand old age of 28.

In the end I decided this was futile so I write this now, just to say, I failed. It wasn’t a bad fail, I made a single error and it cost me deer. That sadly is how the driving test works in the modern age.

So I sit today in a thoughtful state, wallowing in failure and with a hint of regret, pondering when to book in for my next test.
