Perhaps could have worded the title better, but it gets the message across. I just switched over to Feedburner (used to use in-house methods) to see what all the fuss was about. So, joined up and claimed my feed. Not too bad. I admit, I had to do it about three times, as it never seemed to save my details. Great! Now what?
This is the point where most bloggers that don’t have a web developer at their disposal stumble. Great, I’ve got my shiny new Feedburner account, and decided to …

I would first like to start off by insulting BT, but I won’t despite the poor connection and general service, as in the end, they’re alright to most other customers I know. Then I want to introduce Sky Broadband. These guys are great. Built from the (as you can see below) Easynet infrastructure, they provide tonnes of bandwidth, on an incredibly fast connection.

7148kb/s is pretty impressive considering I am 50 miles from the exchange on a 8Mb/s connection. Technically speaking, they’re doing the impossible! I realised you probably wouldn’t enjoy …

First and foremost, I’d like to point out that I’m not a Mac user, and haven’t been for a long time. I won’t be for a long time, thanks to Apple’s ‘generous’ UK pricing scheme. The next thing I’d like to point out, which you are more than likely to know by now, considering you just pressed the link, is that Microsoft has released the latest version of Windows Live Messenger 7.0.

As promised, here’s a few silly YouTube posts doing the impossible - linking Mr. Bean and Apple. Just watch them and you’ll see what I mean.

I’m sure you’ll agree, that one’s been thought out very well. I admit the next one hasn’t quite been edited together with the same quality as before, but it’s still pretty amusing watching Mr Bean dancing to the Spice Girls.
