I try!

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

I know, I'm getting really bad. I'm just so busy these days :/

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

Top Ten Reasons

Due to patient confidentiality, I can't find out how she is. Or indeed if she is alive or dead. Guess we'll have to wait to see if the flat comes onto the market...

And no, we haven't got our blanket back!

I just feel sorry for the girl she jumped in front of - I don't think they even knew each other.

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.

Hi Bud! Yeah, I'm using my phone as a modem, with the w+w plan.

Bud

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?

Happy New Year!

I'm more worried about the hordes of ladybirds that seem to live on our patio and insist on crawling through the gaps in the doors. They will doubtless attract swarms of carnivorous chinese wasps that will be quite happy living here thanks to global warming. Those will in turn bring birds and their flu - and in the recession, I won't be able to afford black market tamiflu.

Happy New Year!

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.

Well, to be honest I'm not sure where I got the £5 from. I think I made it up. It's actually £1/month more with this unlimited data package, but will probably work out at about £15/month more over the next year or so when you factor in the price of a phone. But still, it's annoying how they fiddle with my http traffic. Still - socks to the rescue!

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!

Sweet, I had no idea that you could use SSH like that! I was going to go and install some over-complicated VPN stuff, but it works great, even on windows with putty - thanks!
Amusingly, it's actually faster now it doesn't have to be rewritten :)

I remeber fondly t-mobile's meddling, although given i had the 10 gig option i felt justified when i played (and downloaded all the patches for it) WoW over it back before i had broadband in one house.

The other way to try would be with a socks proxy to your server.

ssh -D 1080 user@radiac.net

and then forward your web-traffic through your socks4 proxy on localhost:1080

Although that might be less simple a solution if you are still windowsing...

That Special Time Of The Year...

Yay for Christmas! It is great that you have the calendar up. I didn't even think much about it, but of course, I checked in anyway to look at your site.
