Potential Service Interruption
(Category: life, faith)
A question and an announcement, both of which may result in delays to blogging and email responses in both the short and medium term.
Question: Do any of my regular readers (about a dozen if the sitemeter report logs are reliable, discounting indexing 'bots and would-be spammers) have any experience of Tiscali broadband, especially the 1Mb and inclusive telephone calls package?
I know that my ISP provision counts as a work expense, but I'm sure I can get better value than the current yahoos at BT (especially with work calls rarely exceeding £12 a quarter). I'm sorely tempted to move, especially as most of my emails are aliased anyway through a third party. If I choose to change there will be some disruption.
Announcement: We're getting Becky baptised this Sunday in Tea Time Worship, by no less than the Suffragan Bishop (Bishop Brian, a very nice man indeed). Not to mention the Archdeacon doing the talk. And all to my little congregation in MLPK! So, no pressure on the Vicar then!
However, it also means we'll have an full vicarage (GLW's parents and one set of godparents plus daughter) are staying. Since I'm also, at least in theory, trying to keep working (ha, ha, ha) blogging might suffer.
Please accept my apologies in advance.
But first I need to clock up another 20p on the Blessing Audit and go and buy a new pair of shoes. The last set of "proper" ones died two weeks ago, and if I have a Bishop and an Archdeacon assisting at Tea Time Worship I really shouldn't be wearing trainers!
(And on top of that it looks like the aliasing of www.cofe-kingshill.org.uk has broken down again. Bother! Bother! Bother!) ¶ 1:26 pm

TeenWonder, who knows about such things, says that tiscali is the spawn of satan himself...the only reason we are still with them is the need for a space of time when we could survive without internet access while we are switched from pillar to post.
Have a lovely weekend, and lots of blessings for Becky on her baptism and beyond x

Well, that's the first negative I've come across! But the Prince of Darkness has a huge number of minions (all of whom each may control an ISP) but the current honours for diabolical control still rest with AOL and BTYahoo!
