And now...

A full month since my last post!! Well, things will be changing around here. I've been plagued with a full plate this year and on top of that internet access issues. The ISP I was using has had some challenges, which were passed to their unfortunate customers. I suffered for that for most of this year, because I was simply too busy to do anything about it.

Well, I've changed ISPs as last and it's such a relief to have high-speed internet at home again. I look forward to writing more.

The Internet Today

This Internet connection is so patchy and so slow. It's the same old story whenever it rains, nevermind the fact that traffic in the afternoon already slows down to a baby's crawl compared to the other times of the day (wait, many babies actually move quite quickly compared to what we have here ...). I click on a link and maybe I'll get to the page I want, or maybe I won't. Overall though, this is much better than the service provider we used before.

At home, I use My Netcom Africa and after initial problems of long down-times, their service has very rapidly improved. The times when I used to call their customer service line to complain and report problems are now a thing of a past.
