I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

I seem to spend my whole time writing about the status of my computers and internet access. It is not just that the aetiology of it all is rather interesting, and that the progress of events is even more so, but that in only a few short years we have all become so completely reliant on computers that we are really up the proverbial gum, tree without them. Yesterday, the promised improvements from BT came to pass, and I went from .20mbps to over 160 (which is about half of what it should be, but still a massive improvement). Dave B-P did some other telephone stuff and prepared to leave, but by the time he went the clocked rate had plummetted to nearly zero, and it stayed there until about 10:00PM when it rose slightly. This morning it was over 100mbps which was somewhat encouraging, but it has been dropping slowly ever since. Like Dave says, it seems that whatever BP did to fix the line has come undone...

*  The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at  jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

*  The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
