My stupid internet connection is worse than ever this morning. Can hardly stay online for ten minutes at a time before the annoying red light starts blinking. Annoyingly, when there’s no internet connection, the stupid godforsaken pile of crud forwards *all* traffic on port 80 to their ridiculous holding page (which shows a lovely picture of a hub with an orange light on it).
So I spent half of yesterday setting up a server on a machine so I didn’t need internet access in order to continue development on my game…. and when the internet connection drops out, I can’t send or retrieve data from it through my app (and I’m really, really reluctant to change all the web-based interaction to web sockets just because BT are a bunch of useless b@st*rds).

Of course, in normal times, I’d just take my laptop to a local cafe, hope on their wi-fi and have table service while I got a few hours development in.

Stupid BT.
Stupid virus.

Sod it. I might sack it off and go and paint some minis…..
