My way of surviving children and in fact all public transport in america is a pair of noise cancelling headphones, an ipod, a pair of knitting needles, and some cheap yarn... the cheap yarn being vital since children with greasy fingers are drawn to expensive yarn...

Oh, nuts :(

Yes, it's really really scary. Especially if you have good headphones that block out all the sound.

I thought Amazon were already doing this?

That's what I call good customer service - a man who reads his diary comments.

How do you spot radiac's diary? It's the one that is only updated three times a year.

Sipping on beer in my ipv6-enabled beer glass :)

Man - that's not pleasant at all! Is she alright?

Did you get your blanket back?

I'll see if I can dig out the settings to bypass the proxy and email you them.

I notice they now have an utility for the usb modems that allows you to change the compression settings.

There is a proxy setting to put in on the datacards that bypasses the image shrinking and stuff. Also are you on an option for using the phone as a modem?

Whatabout the hordes of stampeding wildebeest?

Happy new year to you too.

I saw you tried to visit my blog, while I was working on blocking some bots. Unfortunately, it blocked your visit too. It is back up now.

Wow, it looks like they're doing some really naughty stuff to your web traffic. Luckily, my phone just has a direct internet connection on the 3G net - I think it's NATed, but apart from that, it works just great. I pay a bit more than £5/month though .. :-/

Merry Christmas!
