There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Posted Dec 18, 2001
to Jim and everyone else involved in the switch 
, see the new servers 
How about "George"? Y'know, like in the Bugs Bunny cartoon with the Abominable Snowman - Oh, my own little bunny rabbit. I will call him George, and hug him and kiss him and give him security

* leaves 
and 
and other delights for Jim and Paul and the BBC people who provided the money for the new servers *
It's all so wonderful! It's almost as fast on my 56K modem now as it was on a cable modem before the upgrade! Okay, so the cable was being shared, but...
And as for the big upgrade, isn't that Ripley 2.0 or something like that? Or is this going to be something so big and new it won't be Ripley anymore?
* is excited *

I'm having trouble today getting used to the pages loading (sort of) instantly. I was used to turning around have having a look at the TV whilst I waited. I'm sure I'll learn to live with it
