B10[mg]

As you might have noticed, I haven't been blogging much recently. This is all due to the recent events of buying a new house and moving to it.

Unfortunately, the ADSL companies in .nl take up to a month (usually two weeks though) to get you online. This, of course, is horrible for geeks! Besides the pleasantries of blogs and perlmonks, I also miss sites that show me the train schedule, what's on tv, a tv frequency table, the opening times of the swimming pool nearby etc. etc. Information that non-geeks also would like, so to say.

Worst of all, my neighbors don't have a WiFi net, so I am forced to go out on the streets with my laptop, to satisfy my thirst for information. Luckily Almere is more like Groningen than Utrecht, based on open (non-encrypted) WiFi spots. Too bad the parking spaces are too obvious in most cases (parking right in front a big window and hacking away on your laptop is quite obvious).

Oh well, hopefully I will get my 10Mbit connection at home fast!
