How fast is a fast internet connection?

So after a week of being offline, I have now got an internet connection again. w00t!

Being that I work in IT, and rely on my internet connection a lot, ive always had good fast connections. Before I left .au I was using iinet's supposed 22mb connection, shame it only had connection speeds of about 1.5mb, but hey, I thought it was still pretty snappy... until now that is!

Now I'm in Tokyo ive got a 100mb (up and down!) connection! with no download limits, how nice.

So, sitting here at my desk, with a sensational view out over the bay (more on this later...), with a blindingly fast internet connection, life is pretty sweet!

heh.

This is one of the pics from our holiday to Japan earlier this year. Just what everybody needs... a golden house, as in real gold!

I wonder how often you would have to polish something like this?

The place is called Kinkakuji, its in Kyoto. There's heaps of other cool stuff to see there aswell, but to me this was definately a highlight.

The rest of the photo's from the holiday will be in this set.

As promised

Well as promised when i left .au i've now opened up a public blog, and a photostream on flickr. So with a bit of luck, you should be able to keep up with where we are and what we're doing.

Stay tuned for photos and ramblings from Japan.
