t’internet

I’ve just heard that we won’t have the internet until next Wednesday (25th). That’s a bit longer than I’d hoped for really… can anyone explain to me exactly what it is that takes so long about provisioning ADSL? I mean, seriously, it takes absolutely bloomin’ ages to get a DSL line enabled… what are they doing for all that time? I reckon ADSL start dates work in the same way that software deadlines work – pick an arbitrary date sometime in the future provided that it’s about ten times the amount of time you actually need…

*ahem* sorry, did I just say that out loud?

I think it’s probably just BT who are the slow link in the chain – they always seem to be. We asked for our phone line to be activated on Saturday – they only managed to get it done yesterday!

Anyway. Alex mentioned on his blog last week about a film currently being made which is only known as “Cloverfield” – it’s a JJ Abrams production. I watched the trailer once and thought, “hmmm, that looked pretty good. I’d like to see that when it comes out.” I’ve watched the trailer again (several times) since then, and I have to say… I’m hooked! I think I’m going to be glued to the net for developments on this one, and I’m going to have to go and see it when it comes out…
