The family is landed in the UK. The new house is furnished with rental furniture. Our air shipment sits in UK customs waiting to be released (hopefully soon, it has the new LCD, clothes and the kids bikes/toys!). The boat arrives in the UK last week of August.

In other words, we are in moving purgatory.

Next week they install Sky and our broadband service. Our phone was up and running from BT in less than 12 hours (Amazing). Which left a problem, how do I get any work done. The hole created by a lack of internet access is quite large (especially when you are trying to settle a house). My PALM TREO 750 is fine for email and some limited browsing, but what to do?

Use the phone as a broadband connection. Thanks to the simple ‘Internet Sharing’ tool, my phone is acting as a 3G internet access point. Simply plugged it into the laptop, Vista found the driver in 20 seconds and off it went. Not that fast, but fast enough.

Technology sure is wonderful (When I don’t mess it up!).
