On the other hand, any good DSL provider will let you use whichever you prefer, as it's so easy to autodetect, and if you want to face the extra hassle of PPPoE, that's your problem.Simon Farnsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190608047563530091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465184176660872296.post-61174461699327684822011-02-17T13:46:22.434+00:002011-02-17T13:46:22.434+00:00Thanks Simon.

I was having a heck of a time trying to work out how to get an ADSL outside IP onto a firewall/router - bit of bridging on the ADSL router, and running a ppoclient on the router and it all works hunky dory.Paul Cockernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465184176660872296.post-19470740713093615022010-11-07T13:43:54.832+00:002010-11-07T13:43:54.832+00:00I should add that my proposal for benefits reform ...I should add that <a href="http://blog.farnz.org.uk/2010/05/on-freeloaders-in-benefits-system-and.html" rel="nofollow">my proposal for benefits reform</a> doesn't suffer from this at all, because benefits don't taper off with income.

It may be worth putting a little elbow grease in and dig up the sods yourself - it'll give you a chance to remove some of the larger stones (and if your garden is anything like ours, you'll find some huge boulders there too!). If you stack the cut sods well, the grass'll compost down well and you can cheat a little to save some work in the short term by using the sods as borders to separate parts of the garden up.<br /><br />From experience, I'd suggest that laying turf should be the last thing you do to the garden - a) it gives you a chance to change your mind, and b) it then won't be disturbed/muddied/rippied up by any other works you do - you *always* need a place to dump/build things and that would be ideal.<br /><br />I used decking planks to make our raised beds (after wanting something which looked half decent and pricing everything up, they were by far the cheapest option) - Took some pics after I built them last year: http://picasaweb.google.com/vitellconsulting/Garden?authkey=Gv1sRgCPGmxJ_jobbNEA&feat=directlink<br /><br />Have fun!Nick Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01346700988114542009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465184176660872296.post-7366866198802501172010-02-23T13:58:51.455+00:002010-02-23T13:58:51.455+00:00"For example, in the culture I live in, men w..."For example, in the culture I live in, men who argue vehemently against a view they disagree with are being "strong" and "decisive"; women who do the same are being "pushy" and "opinionated"."<br /><br />There could be a whole 'nother post about this but yes, I agree. <br /><br />I am interested in FOSS; I've been a Linux user for knocking on eight years but am not active in the community. I have better things to do with my time than to get into arguments about semantics, as a general rule.
