enismirdalSo I called up Be to ask for my MAC key.
As expected, they wanted to keep me and offered to keep me on Be until probably the end of the year (apparently as a Static IP customer, I will be among the last to migrate), but on a reduced price of £9 a month.
I figured 6 more months of Be, who I like, rather than Sky, who I don't, is probably worth staying with for now so agreed. I've assured them I will leave as soon as I'm migrated to Sky.
I'm basically happy with this arrangement for the moment so I guess that's a win. We'll see how it goes; they can consider themselves on probation!
In other news, currently doing some contracted consultancy type work for a company, and it means I have to do some recording of insect mortality 12 hours after the start of the experiment. One way or another, this has only been one day a week so far, but 8:30am till 8:30pm isn't my favourite kind of work day. Has also required recording the mortality daily for 7 days, so a fair bit of coming in on weekends for 45 minutes to sort the insects then go home again. Given that the journey itself takes 45 minutes each way, it's not my favourite...but the client wants so the client gets, I guess!
