It's approaching month-end and our ADSL quota is all but spent. This is a good thing, because once a month, for a few days, I'm forced to remove myself from the blogging world and the news sites and the goings-on and y'know, have a life. My productivity goes through the roof for those few days, and each month I promise myself that even when the bandwidth comes back I'll rein in the info ingestion and spend more time doing other things.

Famous last words. I'm still in uh, holiday mode, and at least partly by design I spend more time reading up on current affairs and arb stuff these days than I do reading up on technical content. I'm just being a layabout: it's the equivalent of vegging out in front of CNN or Sky News or BBC World all day, really. Except that at least political blogs are way less vapid. Usually. And it beats the hell out of watching infomercials and soap operas. Usually.

But hey, it's my holiday/student life and I'm enjoying it. Soon exams will be over and I'll have to think about becoming a productive member of society again. But in the meantime, it's back to studying and doing fun things that don't involve intercontinental telecommunications. It might be a few days before thee blog gets replicated up again, so for now, bye!
