A nice man from Virgin Media came round to my house this morning and replaced my cable modem, restoring my internet connection to its former glory.

Yay!
Now I just have to catch up on a week’s worth of Lolcats.
You have a big chance to make history and, at a stroke, make up for 8 years of chaos and blundering on the world stage. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I expect Barack Obama to be President-Elect, otherwise I’ll be… really quite upset. Thank you.
