Organic donation

St Peter's Brewery sends out an irregular email newsletter, with offers and so on, but it doesn't actually include a link to, or even the url of, their website so you can go and buy stuff. Charming amateurishness in this over-commercialized age, or bewildering incompetence?

Anyway, they currently have Organic Ale and Organic Best on special, to mark National Organic Week or some such bibble -- that's £16 for 12 * 500ml bottles, down from £22. Add a fiver for shipping, that's still pretty good value I reckon, for two very nice beers.

Every now and then they clear short-dated beer out at just £10 or £12 a case, which is clearly even better value. So it's worth signing up to the newsletter, even if you then have to oh-so-laboriously use your bookmark to go to the site.

In other annoyance news, my wireless network connection has decided to go on the blink today: it keeps going in and out every few minutes, causing web sessions to drop and so on. I am at fairly long range for the aerials, but it normally works OK. Obvious suspicion was that one of the cats was sitting on the router, but no. Maybe next door has installed a big electromagnet: I heard a load of banging earlier. Have any of you experimented with Pringles-tube-waveguides etc to improve wireless transmission?

No, because my router (a WRT54G with Sveasoft firmware) has an option to increase the power. Your router might have that too. In the unlikely event that you care, note that it may be possible to exceed legal broadcasting limits, which I think might be 100mW for those frequencies in the UK.

Bah, mine doesn't seem to have such an option. I've tried canging to a different channel tho as suggested above, we shall see.
