Apparently it is IMPOSSIBLE for my brother to complete his university course without broadband. Actually I can see his point - a lot of his assignments involve er... logging into the uni network from home and doing various programmy things and stuff. At present my computer is the internet gateway for our network (as the desktop doesn't support internet sharing and I did a bit of home renovation work involving my floor, an electric drill and a phone extension cable). My laptop is a noisy bugger and hence can't be left on while my brother is doing uni stuff all night. Broadband will plug nicely into our wireless hub so everyone will be happy. Hurrah!
The bad news is that I will need to get a new email address as our current ISP has sold its broadband dealie to another company thus meaning that even if we stuck with that bunch I couldn't keep my address. This is a bit painful. Anyone who has my ihug address should be on high alert that it will change sometime... This means that you should send me emails now so that you don't miss out on the "I have a new address" email... got that? Good.
Implications for wiblogging are that webpages will load faster so I won't get impatient and my posts will have a more mellow tone. So... er... yeah. It'll be grouse.
