Seems there’s something funny in the air. My mobile phone isn’t working properly. Earlier on a phonecall from my dad was rather patchy with parts of it sounding like Daleks were invading. GPRS isn’t working either… it gets a connection, then … nothing. Need to live in a place where I can use old fashioned wires to connect to the Internet. Zapping microwaves through the air is cool, but not that reliable. Especially when you live in a building with metal cladding on the outside.

… and now it works. The problem? Seems I was using an old DNS address. Telling my PC to grab the DNS while connecting has made it all work again
