Glad you’re all up and running now….. did you win the golf ?

It was only my usual practice session with a friend. Sadly after an awesome May I seem to have gone off the boil. I think the lack of rain and resulting hard ground has started to bite back. The extra distance is good on our longer front nine but is playing havoc with my club choices on the shorter back.

Oh well, it's what makes golf a great retirement hobby. There's always something to work on.

Still no working IPv6 but that should get sorted tomorrow. I also got tripped up by my server. It had a major update (Win 10 only) but as sometimes happens that caused the network profile to change back to public which meant the firewall locked it down. Why that happened on the same day that I was switching network stuff around is just another mystery of life. For sure it confused me for a while.

Edit: Thanks to someone suggesting that I use Google I now have IPv6 working. Turns out there was a setting I hadn't found previously. On the EWAN page I needed to check the IPv6 checkbox. Not great that IDNet failed to do that for me.

..and we sometimes wonder why telephony services cost so much.

I've just had a brief visit from an OR engineer looking to sort out the fault with my new FTTP installation. Thing is the fault was sorted out by the original engineer after he left my premises (something about the CBT not being activated yet). It's all been working fine since I got back home the evening of the installation over a week ago.

So despite my using the connection for over a week their own systems still had a fault logged for it.

In addition the engineer queried the number he had for the line because the person it belonged to lived on the other side of town. I switched to SOGEA over two years ago so apparently BT's various systems haven't been updated on that front either.
