Registration server still timing out.

Registration server still timing out. Sod it, going to bed.

Installing broadband.

Installing broadband. Software asks for a 7 digit PIN and mine is 8 digits. Talk to NTL and he talked me through using 62.253.162.131 via IE to register. Sitting here trying to register but it keeps timing out.

Tried to put sound card back in pc but it refuses..

Tried to put sound card back in pc but it refuses to work. Lost the driver disk. Bodged it to work by pointing it at files that were already installed. Motherboard sound refused to work as well. Win2000 did usual job of saying hardware was installed and working but not allowing me to use it.

Men are outside right now fitting broadband so I'll put the full capabilities of a 1Mb connection on the case.

Still awake and fiddling with the palm. The best toy I have bought for ages.

Quick launch almost has a useful feature: you can access an applications menu through it without extending the Tungsten. This is good for apps that don't display their menu's to save screen space. I say almost because it is under a submenu and not so easy to get at.

Can't sleep.

Can't sleep. Decided to try using the QuickLaunch feature of ZLauncher instead of Switch5. Biggest problem was getting the drag-and-drop in ZL to work: have to tap for about 1/2 second and drag quick before the context menu appears.
