    It's just too hot

    Even my PC setup is having trouble dealing with this heatwave. I spent most of the morning offline and cursing my ISPโ€ฆ until, in a fit of desperation, I swapped my rather warm wireless broadband router for an old freebie one I had lying around. Perhaps significantly, the old one had been sitting in a dark cupboard. And it worked. First time.

    As Heather at Hitwise points out, itโ€™s a good time to be in the weather business. Interesting to see the BBC site far and away the market leader โ€“ when sites like Metcheck or uk.weather.com have much richer data. Ah well, you know what they say about turning to the Beeb in times of national crisisโ€ฆ
