Back in March of this year I wrote a blog post about the 3 Mobile Broadband service. About 9 months on I thought I would let you hear my thoughts about it.

I live in a rural area of Northern Ireland and took on the PAYG 3 Broadband because the house I was renting at the time didn’t have a landline phone in it, and so no chance of getting a normal wired broadband service. So initially I thought this was broadband heaven – go and sit in a cow field or up the top of a mountain and watch stuff on YouTube. No, no. Sorry. Wrong! You might as well forget it. At peak times as I got LESS THAN dial up 56K speeds.

On the positive side though I would say that:

1. it IS better than having to go and book an hour on a computer at the local library;
2. if you’re a night time person like me you can get good enough speeds at 1am (that’s the time I’m writing this now!);
3. if you do manage to get a good signal you can get out and use it without having to be stuck at home.

I think that like all new ideas it will improve as the technology improves and more competition in the Mobile Broadband market forces companies to improve their service or lose customers rapidly. This whole area is rapidly expanding and can only get better.

All I can say is thanks to Three for at least allowing me to get online in a situation where it was not possible at all at all and without a long contract.

Thanks for listening.

You may have already noticed this but I have added a Gallery of my artwork. It’s small at the moment but more will be added in future. It compliments the Store, which allows you to buy them as downloads. The major difference is that the Gallery is a bit more Flash-y, hence you’ll need Adobe Flash Player installed to view it.

I’d really like some feedback on my art, so please sign up and add your comments. You’ll have to register to post comments from now on as I’m sick of spam comments. Thanks.

I’ve finally got round to fixing the errors that had stopped me from putting my store on this blog.

At present I have only a few downloads in it, which are what I call Digital Art, ie. artwork created on the computer. These are pieces of artwork I have created using photos that I have taken and manipulating them on the computer to give them a different look and feel.

Planned Future Developments:

• Web Templates for WordPress and Joomla

It seems as if the world of 3D creation softwares has been re-named ‘FreeD’. I was searching around the other day for resources for Bryce and came across several sites that were offering Bryce 5.5 completely free. I thought at first it was a trial version or a cracked version but it’s totally free. You can download a copy for either MAC or PC from the CNET web site. The download is approximately 24 mb.

Bryce is a 3D modeling, rendering and animation program specializing in fractal landscapes. See the full Wikipedia definition for more background info.
