DSL Dead – Weather kills phone line

Just a quick note to say that the DSL at home is dead. Well, actually the whole phone line is dead. Nothing but crackling static on the line when you pick up the phone, and the DSL can’t get a line sync for more than a few seconds at a time, if it gets it…

Shiba Inu Puppy Cam

I know I’m late to the ball with this one, but I’m going to put the live stream here simply because it makes it easier for me to find later. Warning: You will lose hours of your life watching this live stream of the Shiba Inu puppies. Live TV : Ustream I just realised… I…
