Maybe time for some Friday humour, so I will begin:
What is a shitzu?
(you all reply: It's a dog!)
Nah, it's a zoo with no animals in it

Feel free to add to (or mute) this thread to make Fridays go a little

I was walking past a building the other day, and all the people were
shouting, 13...1313...13.
The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks and
looked through to see what was going on.
Someone poked me in the eye with a stick and then they

The proxies don't operate in transparent mode. I'm aware of some cache

Good idea :)
For now, i've opened port 80/443 to the BBC IP ranges as that seems to be
where the HTTP/HTTPS requests are all headed, and I trust the BBC ip range
to be sending us safe traffic.

That's most likely down to the signal strength of the relatively cheap
wireless chip inside the Wii. The distance between the console and the
wireless access point will really make a difference to how well the iPlayer

Hi all,
Some of you may have already noticed this, but I'd just like to pass on my
thanks to whoever it was that made the volume in the iPlayer (and associated
BBC .flv players) go up to 11.
A small touch, but one that makes me smile every time I turn it up to 11

I also had a lot of success in getting my Wii to be reliable by playing
around with which wireless channel was being used. It sounded unlikely to
me but seems to have worked. There's a load of pages out on the web about
tweaking the settings to get them to work nicely.

I've seen that changing the channel to a few down the line helps, so if it's

If you want to try this also you can download NetStumbler [1] and look at

Actually, I think that behaviour is a bug, but as I'm now out of
