Well well, the lovely people at Be* have finished upgrading my broadband service from Demon. What makes it even more lovely is that even though I only ordered thier “Lite” 8Mbit service they appear to have enabled the full 24Mbit service!

Now as we all know no one can ever get 24Mbit unless you live in a telephone exchange, I can’t imagine that would be nice with the constant noise of air conditioning… but I’m currently connected at 17Mbit and enjoying every moment of it! Thanks Be*!

In other news it appears that someone is thinking outside the box when it comes to Datacenter cooling: Those crazy Swiss types are using the excess heat from their datacenter to heat the local swimming pool! Good work people.

Anyway it’s Friday.. welcome to the weekend!
