Making time

03Mar07

We’ve just moved house, which, thanks to BT being a bit rubbish, means that we’re without Internet connection (well, there’s dial up, but that barely counts). “But”, you might ask, “how the hell are you posting if you’re without internet?” Thanks to a kindly neighbour who’s left his WiFi open. It’s a bit flaky – too flaky for Second Life, for one thing – but enough for email, light web browsing, and the odd post or two.

It’ll take a few days for the broadband connection to show up, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a good opportunity for me to brush up on my 3D modelling skills with the very marvellous Google SketchUp, and to actually go through some of the tutorials instead of rushing headlong into making things as I usually do. I’ve already discovered a few things that I didn’t know about.
