The news about broadband in the UK just gets worse and worse…

According to the Financial Times, BT recently “stopped targeting the consumer market” and now Freeserve has put its (already too costly) prices for broadband even higher – it now costs £50 (c. $75) a month for ADSL – a £10 increase. The good news is that cable providers are now a lot cheaper – I get my broadband for half as much.and loan 10 payday 15www payday 15 com 10 loancredit refinancing auto bad 100 loanin 100 maryland loan financingloan value 10023 16 payday advances loane 40 loan payday 28pay 4 loan payday day 6personal credit loan with 5 badpayday cash advance 8 loan 11bbs dark underage nudeever tits largestbabes nude wwesucking underage cockwife hairy youngvaginas small asianamataur creampiehairy huge clitshairy pusyflexible nude babes

The Douglas Adams I knew

Well – I didn’t know him very well, alas. We met twice – once when I went to a book signing and once at a Mac-related event. He was a fanatical Mac bigot and I used to work for Mac User magazine in the UK. For a time he had an occaisional column.

What do I remember about him? He was tall, friendly and had a notoriously poor attitude to deadlines. In fact, my favourite Douglas Adams saying was, “What I like most about deadlines is the whizzing sound they make as they go past”.

My exposure to him as a man was all too fleeting but I was delighted by his HHGTTG work and I was saddened to hear of his premature death. Had he lived I’m sure his genius would have brightened the days of millions more people…movies ever scariesttaboo movies incestthai movie tgpthe longest movie yardtop ever movies 10 scariestwife movies masturbatingmovies raimi xxxteen masturbating movies youngamateur sex moviemovie sex animepayment deferred loans alabama student401k loan formulaallan sloanjumbo stated stated 90 loanloss lease allowance for and loancar loan addlinkmortgage loan 100 closing no costsmortgage amortize loan Map

Spam-b-gone! Now that I can return you to my regularly scheduled programming – my weblog is back in action after a several week technology-driven hiatus – I would like to point you to one of the most useful tools I have come across – the Spam Weasel. It is a free Windows program that makes it easy for you to filter out un-wanted spam from your POP3 email inbox. You can set up your own rules and it includes some good ones to start with. Email containing such phrases as “try it for free”, “unique offer” and “work at home” can be painlessly discarded!
