Another one of those days.....
WTF ? The Internet today is a slow as a queue to buy tickets at a Chinese train station 2 days before a public holiday.
Sure, we have slow days on the web in Oz, but this is crazy. I get consistent timeouts on a lot of sites, and "Server is too busy " blah blah blah - including Hotmail which is VERY annoying.
I reset the ADSL modem, restarted the PC and emptied the cache hoping to improve things but to no use.
On a brighter note, I had an email from Griffith University (Queensland, Australia) last Friday telling me that my study materials had been sent by DHL.
The stuff arrived the following Monday morning. Hmmm, let's see. Brisbane Friday afternoon - Sydney - Shanghai - Customs - DHL Suzhou Depot - Wife's office in SIP in 2.5 days and that includes a weekend in between.
Now I'm waiting for another package from Charles Darwin University so the next 12 weeks in China will not be frivolous and fruitless.
So, Jamieson - ignore this message, and start reading *very* thick books, writing essays and so forth.
Bye !
