I have 13 days' holiday to use between now and April. Anyone have any suggestions? Currently I'm thinking of just taking the first two weeks of March as a single block. If anyone else has any holidays to burn we could have larks! Possibly even adventures! However, I realise this is unlikely as most people have to plan their holidays from January to December.
In other news: Over the weekend I experimented with using Bennee.com to pick up my emails. I have more or less rejected it as a viable option. At first it seemed like a good idea since Alex's box is stable and less busy than ntlworld, which it probably is, but the difference is that while ntl may go down more, they at least have a staff dedicated to bringing it back up again. Alex's box only has Alex, and he can't be there 24/7. Also, being his own personal box, he has many security measures in place. This is very sensible, but the problem with making remote accessing difficult is that it also makes remote accessing difficult. So, I am going back to ntlworld for email.
What I want, ideally, is an email service whereby (1) it is stable, (2) I can collect my email via a client and (3) I can also (should I so choose) read it via the web. I have three email accounts, and each of them (easily) do two of the three. Such is life.
