reddragdivaIt has been a frustrating and unproductive day. I spent the morning in a Corporate Induction, which lasted until 1:50pm. Then we had a team meeting at two. Then I spent from three until 5:20 beating the 3G card into working with the laptop. This involved two reinstalls of the Voodoophone card crapware and the updated VPN software and several reboots. And the VPN encrypted encoding is ridiculously slow and heavy. Voodoo have GOT TO BE FUCKING JOKING about a 50 megabyte allowance for a month.
But you know what? I'll be swinging by the Water Rats on the way home to check connectivity. And if it works, I'll be endeavouring to be at Rathaus tomorrow.
In further cheer, the agent from the old flat has given us back the entire rent and bond. Come payday, we'll actually be in credit for a while!
Update: Four bars of coverage inside Water Rats, sitting at a table near the window! \o/

Vodafone are very horrible to deal with if you're a customer but they havce the best network, so best only to use them if someone else is footing the bill.

(Hint to Vodafone: charging me extra for the itemised bill that I need to work out how you are gouging me is not going to endear me to you at all)
