I’ve been catching up with the folk podcast run by Ken Nicol (Steeleye Span) and Phil Widdows, I’m quite new to listening to podcasts (the term comes from an amalgamation of i-pod and broadcasts although you don’t need an i-pod), the folk podcast is produced monthly and is in essence a ‘radio’ programme accessible on the web, you can listen to it in Windows Media Player (or any other media player) or copy it to a personal MP3 player. You can access individual programmes directly from the folk podcast web site or install a free RSS Podcast Client (rather like a blog aggregator) which will keep you up to date with selected podcasts. I downloaded the free Juice software which seems to work very well.

The heavy rain and high winds have continued through the day and we also had a brief power cut.

I managed to complete the upgrade process for BT Total Broadband today by telephone, having failed to make it happen on-line on the BT website, both times I tried on their web site I received a confirmation page that stated the upgrade had been accepted but that was where the upgrade process ended! Fingers crossed that everything will be working next week.
