Those icebergs are now close enough to the coast to be seen from land. Some have been out on helicopters for a looksee, and one landed and brought back some ice. Then, back on land, they chipped bits off and put it in their drinks.




Personally, drinking water hundreds of years old that probably has ancient penguin poop and seal shit in it sort of turns me right off. Funny that. This article talks about where giant iceblocks came from and this site is rather cool, too.

What is even cooler is the speed I am getting on my (Clayton's) broadband connection. My nasty lil 256/128 line that usually can only stagger along at 35KB/s is today blazing at well over 100KB/s.



Dunno how it's managing it, but I guess all those punters who bought into the new high-speed plans with all the major providers when they were unleashed the other week (Tui's) only to have their speeds die away to sweet bugger all have kindly donated it my direction. Rest assured, O Generous Geeks, it's being well and truly appreciated.
