Don't Do Broadband

Oh the shame of it. I had so many plans for this evening: letters to write, minutes to edit, work to complete. But before any of those, I thought I'd check to see if my broadband line had been enabled two days early - you never know.

I know now.

I now know that broadband is a drug and a time machine mixed into one. I've been exploring the corners of the Internet that I'd never bothered to visit before, and my exploring has swallowed my evening whole. I now know that although my employer's profitability is directly linked to broadband being a success, I must warn you: don't do broadband.

I can only hope that this beginner's enthusiasm wears off by tomorrow: I really should be a more productive member of society.
