I finally got some time to watch the first two episodes of the IT Crowd over at BBC4. It’s pretty funny stuff and while most of it is farce there’s just enough truth to it to make your typical IT folks nod with familiarity.

It seems at some point in the late afternoon yesterday, Roadrunner got our home internet connection working properly again. No notification of what was happening, it just suddenly was working without the time-outs again.
