IDNET Broadband

I recently changed my ADSL ISP from Bulldog (who, in my humble opinion, weren't great and would only give me 2Mb/s) to IDNet.

I've only been using IDNet for a week or so, but they seem pretty good - I'm getting about 0.4Mb/s upload and 5Mb/s download speeds. Best of all however, is when I called for support out of working hours and left a message, they called me back within about 5 mins and were extremely helpful. Can't beat that for customer service. :)

Sorry for the lack of useful posts recently - been very busy. Hopefully I might write something of interest soon!

Technorati Schmechnorati?

Has anyone else had problems with Technorati?

I registered this blog on there ages ago, but it took weeks before their embedded url thingy actually contained anything.

Also, I've posted several times since creating my Technorati account, but my profile still says that I last updated this blog 50-odd days ago!

The C# is strong with this one...

As I mentioned a while back, I am a .NET developer in my day job. My boss needed me to get MCP certified so that the company could get Microsoft Partnership status.

I've been revising for a the last week or two in the evenings (hence the lack of blogging). Today I took the exam (70 316 - C# Windows Apps) and got 100%.

So I am now an official certified professional. I don't know if this actually means much in real terms, but it felt good to get full marks!
