Faster unstable pigeons

In my never ending quest for a reliable Internet Service Provider in Nigeria, I decided to give Mobitel a try. I've been using the connection for almost a month now and it's been a mixed bag. It did not start out great at all. It worked alright for half of the first day and was completely useless for almost a week. Apparently, it turned out they were having technical issues, and I ended up being very unhappy.

It's not all bad, however. I paid for the 2Mbps plan and that speed most of the time. My Steam downloads are relatively quicker, I don't have to wait forever for Youtube videos to buffer, and it's a generally good experience. There are still hiccups from time to time though, and this can be really annoying. Like that one time I lost a very shiny ship in EVE during combat. The other plus is you're assigned an IP address so you don't have to deal with all sorts of bullshit that comes with being behind a NAT (so I'm not left to wonder how I'm banned from a random site I've never visited in my life). I'm probably gonna stick with them though, because faster downloads make the world go round.

In other news, the N9 is a gorgeous piece of hardware. I shall be picking the 64GB version up within the next week or two.

Oh, by the way, in case you didn't notice, I finally sold out. I've installed WordPress. I just didn't have the will to continue working on my home-made blog software. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to continue with my theme and plugin search.
