back on-line

We had a wireless thing put into the computer, and it didn't work for a while, untill the nice man at BT told me what to do (this was the second time I called, the first, the exasperated engineer told me it was a firewall problem, and tried to fob me off to some other company).
This now means that there are no ugly wires from the hallway to the computer in teh living room,a nd that I can surf on the laptop, desktop and talk on the phone at the same time. Still have no idea how to get a podcast downloaded onto my Mp3 player. Ug.

Hve finished reading the Time Machine. Cracking good read, and better than the last H G Wells I read, the Invisible Man. Also ther is the typical turn of the century way of third person monologue. First couple of chapters are how theauther gets to hear the hero tell the story, and the rest of the book is in quotation marks as the hero relates to the auther.
