The office is in Boogerville (so close). The ISP is up near the airport. Yeah, I liked London. The exchange rate is horrendous though. It was painful to me to go to a Burger King and see the price in pounds be about the same as the price in dollars and then realize I was paying about twice as much for the same (or blander) burger. I could be wrong but all the "fast food" in London tasted blander than the American equivalents. Nicer restaurants were fine though. Pub food was fine ;)

You guys got screwed. London is a nice city- -if you ignore the occasional tube bombing. :-) I absolutely love London and now I get to deal with frequent intense cravings for curry that simply can't be satisfied out here. But I wouldn't live out there on a bet. The salary that lets me live nicely in Boogerville might get me a refrigerator box in someone's garden in London. Gooberville, right? :-) Is that a suburb of KC? The machines are moving from a barely-acceptable ISP in downtown KC to a new state-of-the-art facility just north of downtown. iHub's already up there and SI's joining it tomorrow. Up where they've got one of those places that aeroplanes stop and start at, and all that. Everything's up to date in Kansas City. Not so Boogerville. I'd never dream of having the sites running out here. The bandwidth available to the entirety of the populations of several towns out here is about 10% of what iHub uses.
