Speed Test
Hmph. Seems that although i’m paying for 8Mb download speeds I’m still capped around 2Mb…?
There’s a cool GUI for the tests, though!
Congratulations Dave!
Today Dave graduates from UCL with a “Geoff Hurst” BSc in Mechanical Engineering!
Congratulations bro!

Grrr!
Some crack-dealing mofo broke in to our car today and stole the stereo! “Fortunately” he didn’t break a window (guess it would have been too noisy), although that might have been cheaper than replacing the locks he fiddled, for which the estimated cost of repair is around 500GBP! PLUS the cost to replace the stereo! Which he’s probably not going to sell for more than 100GBP! !@)#%*^ What a wanker.
Police are coming over to check out the car tomorrow and look for “blood, saliva, and other possible sources for DNA”. But I don’t really see the point… unless they happen to have his DNA on file already? And does that mean that Hanne and I would also have to submit DNA samples, so they can “rule us out”? I don’t want that information entered in to some mysterious database somewhere for the cost of a measly car door lock and stereo, thank you very much.
The most frustrating part of all this is the lack of control I feel I have in the matter. That, and the fact that in the stereo was a brand new copy of Ferry Corsten’s new album L.E.F., which had arrived only a week ago. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Lesson learned this week: ALWAYS remove your stereo faceplace, no matter how pointless you think it may be (although that still may not have prevented it being nicked… but I guess it would have helped).
Update: ok, pardon my Orwellian-paranoia there. The police didn’t have to take our finger prints… they just dusted the car and lifted whatever prints they could find, so that in the event that the fool is arrested in the future he can be linked back to this crime too… unless the prints were just mine and Hanne’s, in which case they’re worthless. Doh. oh well.
