The phone line is fixed

So the phone line did get fixed before 1pm, thank you sky for getting BT openreach to deal with the fault. I am told there was a flood locally with lots of BT vans in the morning, hence guess them fixing that might be related. What was slightly annoying was making sure I was at […]

The phone line is down

So I got home to the phones saying check phone line and did the whole moving furniture to check the master socket and still no phone line. The good news is the broadband hasn’t died with it, but of course a half broken phone line makes me worry it will break some more. Sky took […]

What I really, really want

Is a commercial grade device that connects to Ethernet and let’s me power cycle a single device remotely.

Stupid Body

Last night on the way home I couldn’t type with my thumb, which is how I normally type on my phone. Every time my thumb was anywhere near the phone screen it would start in a fairly dramatic tremor. Fortunately I could still type if I didn’t use my thumb, but it was slightly awkward […]

So I’ve started again

So being an IT geek I thought I should work out how to make a https: website and not just a http: one. In simple terms web browsers are going to start moaning more and more about http: only websites soon. Chrome always has a “Not secure” in front of the URL which doesn’t look […]
