My westnet is still down internationally… Thanks to using the Telstra Web proxy things are not bad for browsing… But it does mean that my MSN is out of action… MapPoint would be as well if I was using it… But thanks to the P2P technology, SKYPE is actually working quite well… not only for chat but also for voice. I just spent some time on a conversation with a friend in the USA, and there was no lag or anything. And yet their was no direct TCP/IP Path between us. Something or someone was relaying, and it was doing a really really good job at it too.

I have to order some parts this morning for a job – looks like an interesting project, and one that I should be able to get working fairly cheaply and quickly. This is probably my most critical job for today since I have to get some PCB’s off to the maufacturer today, and if I need to do a PCB for this job then I have to do that rather quickly. And then I might be able to get some programming done… Hopefully!
