    So, I've the wireless router setup up and I've caught up on my boards.ie browsing. What next?

    I've already disovered isketch, wondering if there's any other great sites out there I should take a look at?

    next, buy a one way ticket out of ireland and relise how sad it is that people can only get broadband now, when the rest of the world has been using it for years.

    oh, and there is nothing on the internet. you just wasted your money.

    my friend sent me a link www.fat-pie.com, *shudder* if you think it takes a lot to shock you...

    Itunes, web radio, groovesalad. Mellow ambident type noises. When I'm working at the weekend I always bring in my laptop plug it onto the network and it is most relaxing.,

    I'd try MacHall, or for purely slurping your connection use the broadband links on thematrix.com, or for a look at alternative philosophy try here (though not always safe for work depending on your proxy setup.)

    Bear in mind that if you have a problem with it and you call the helpline it will cost you 36c per min, plus tax, to find out what's wrong or report it.

    We got ours running last Wednesday and it has stopped working twice now for no reason. It just stops working and when you go back to it the next day it's fine again. I have a theory that everytime eircom find they are failing to meet income targets, they switch off the broadband in a few areas and wait for the calls to come in. Hey presto; they're 5grand up.
