The internet marqee has filled up with kids. I suppose that is only to be expected at an education event.

So I have fallen back on wifi and the laptop I brought with me.Seemed not to be working at first but this was just XPservice pack being extra fussy. Once I found where to tell it Psand #8 is ok, allwas well.
Here in Charmouth for HESFES - Home Education Seaside Festival

Psand and Bristol Wireless are offering an internet marquee. Now working ok. There are about 20 Toshiba Satellites from Bristol. Actually cabled but there is wifi as well.

The web access is through satellite. Definitely working at the moment.

Someone from Exeter should definitely visit Bristol for a bit of benchmarking. For one thing there is jazz being broadcast from the Chelsea pub. Most Fridays apparently. I have seen this on the Radio Vague site but I always seem to have missed it.

Surely the Globe could try something similar. There is an IT Box in the corner so there must be some bandwidth. Further investigations when I'm back in Exeter.
