It’s the last end of day of January, only 229 more EoDs until Christmas and already the snow’s coming apparently. Well you have a second dose of me this week, one day I’ll tell Colin I’m busy when he asks me to pull double duty… More…
Tomorrow is my last day at Plusnet. I’ve been here just over two years in which time I have morphed from a web designer/developer into a usability/user experience evangelist! I’ve really enjoyed my time here, working with great people to server great customers.
For the second time in less than a week, we’re pleased to announce that have activated another 155Mbps segment of central bandwidth. This segment is part of a brand new 622Mbps central pipe we’ve had installed (imaginatively titled ‘Plusnet 10′). Customers connecting to the new pipe will access the Internet through a new gateway known as pcl-ag03.
We’ve activated this extra capacity in line with the current budget and our projected growth in customer numbers.
When new capacity is added to the network, it takes time for the network to balance and for a representative proportion of the customer base to connect to the new segment. In order to speed up this process and help balance the platform to give the most benefit to customers, it may be necessary for us to temporarily disconnect a number of customers from the network. Should we take the decision to do this we will announce further details as a planned maintenance notice otherwise it may take up to a week for the new segment to be balanced.
We frequently review our plans for the purchase of additional capacity and will continue to do this based on projected customer numbers.
Kind Regards,

So, how many of you lot noticed we had a little outage today? Not too many I hope, but as a result we’ve had a couple of people scurrying around and testing things to make sure all is ok.

Well here it is, the End of Day that you’ve all been waiting for. Well some of you, OK maybe just Colin. Apologies for the lateness today it’s been a very very busy day and I’ve still not gone home. Oh well at least I’m saving money on electricity by not having the TV or heating on. More…
It’s Monday, and the last week of the month as Sunday sees us entering Month 2 of 2009… Surely it can’t have been that long ago since Christmas and the New Year already?

For those who know me, I turned 29 recently. That means that I have been playing computer games for 25 years. Admittedly, I may not have been very good, but I was playing! People like to think that, with age, their skills grow. Their reflexes sharpen, and their tactics become more, errrr….. tactical. You also look back at the games that you played as a kid- BombJack, Donkey Kong, Wonderboy and so on and think how primitive they look compared to today’s ultra-realistic, photomapped 3D games. You usually had your joystick and one or two buttons. There was none of this 3D nonsense, and the Playstation was years away.
Another Friday and the final EoD for another week. Fortunately I think I’m going to finish this at a more reasonable time and get home before 7pm. More…
