Novell PlateSpin

Today Novell announced that it has agreed to acquire PlateSpin. I spent five and half years helping to get PlateSpin started before moving on last year. Congratulations Stephen, Ari, John, Adam and the rest of the gang. You’ve certainly earned it.

All the best!

Offline in the UK... again

BT has once again shut down my account for no reason. We’re shortly moving to a new house so I’m not even going to bother fighting it. I’m cancelling my BT account as well as my Virgin DSL, paying the cancelation fees, and looking for a cable provider that can offer both telephone and Internet access. I just can’t handle the stupidity of it all any longer.

I’ve had terrible service from Virgin so I’d prefer not to use them for cable but I don’t think there are all that many choices.

Any ideas?
