Well, not much happening right now except sorting out my mortgage. Should be in within 6 weeks or so. Got a better deal that I though so I won't be quite so skint (although still skint) but it's gotta be done sometime I guess..... Beside, I've got a hint that I might be in for a juicy pay rise in the next 6 months if I play it right.
Got ADSL, but I cant use MSN through my router, I'ts a fairly old design and no longer supported - I can't alter any advanced settings, even through telnet - it reports that it's been adjusted but then I look at the status and find it hasn't. What I'll do is keep it running alongside my dial up so I can at least get into my hotmail (can;t use microsofts .net passort service at all with my router) then when I get into my flat I'll go for normal IP routing and not bother with NAT. This should work better for a second PC anyway, so I can play games online with a mate around an another machine. I'm not sure If I could do that with only a single IP on the net like NAT uses.
Well, enough computer babble. I HAVE to ring claire this week, it's been well over a month since I ran into her now. Also Hisami, the person advertising Japanese lessons,. The notice has gone down now, but I've still got the number so I'd better give it a ring soon. I just hope it's not too expensive
