Service Time

So I’m going to be servicing the car this weekend. Quite an overhaul. It’s running well but I thought it deserved some tlc. I’m replacing all the filters (Air, Fuel and Oil), and I’m going to flush the coolant and renew the mix. I will also be replacing the fan belt, and then hopefully I can get the new brakes sorted. Fun fun fun.

Googlenet

The Register is becoming something of an anti-google spread these days. I realise that there is much to be anti-google about, and I laud them for their articles, but the Reg is usually better balanced.

Anyway, a few worrying articles to read today. Especially the one with the statistics about Googles private network. 10% of all internet traffic is colossal, much bigger then the nearest competitor to the internet – Internet2. And Google are the only company big enough to realistically challenge the internet, if they decided to do so. And given their track record, who’s to say they won’t?
