The Innerleven Boolin Club Life in the fast rink. | Well,here we are. Satellite Internet. First impressions … The latency (time it takes to act on anything) is slow –over a second or two. Takes a bit of getting used to! It isn’t a problem as I don’t play shoot-em-up games on the internet. And I understand why this is (speed –not [...] After a brief flirtation with Orange as a possible Internet Provider,I have gone looking for someone better. A claimed 1,000kbps download rate (approx what you would expect in an impoverished 3rd world country) turned out to be less than half (450kbps),then gradually deteriorated till it averaged 200kbps,and,on one memorable day,peaked [...] A quick update on Internet Providers … Orange are rubbish.

We have booked our helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon (months in advance,all paid for and confirmed earlier in the week). I have my camera –all charged up –and a spare memory card. We’ve had breakfast. We are both sitting at the entrance of our timeshare [...] If you care to have a re-look at ‘Heroes and Villains,you will see the first gallery of pictures from the Mojave Desert and Calico Ghost Town. Just click on the thumbnails to see the bigger picture. Las Vegas to come next! Mesklin The blog has just been updated to V3.0 and the theme has also been updated.
