Last week my computer decided to change the speed settings on my network card to "full autonegotiation," and the card said "Do what?!" and gave up completely. So I had no Net on the main machine till today, when the computer guru very patiently put it right for me and I felt like a total idiot (or in Aztec, totalidiotl) for not knowing what to do.

If you think I've missed anything I shouldn't have, please let me know.

I did find a link to the Children In Need NuWho segment, and apart from some (to me) offensive comments about the early incarnations it wasn't too bad, for NuWho. Stephen Moffat is one of the better writers. I'm glad I didn't sit through the programme waiting for it though.

I would have no idea at all what to do with such a card, or why "full autonegotiation" would be a bad thing to do, or why the omputer would decide to change it. Blame the manufacturers, not yourself...
