This makes it all worth while.

by admin on August 5, 2011

I have not written too much here recently although there are changes at the moment with the BBC, which may or may not have an impact on the proxy. Still we will find out in the next week or so, when they launch their international version. From others I have seen it will not appeal to expats due to the content being different and I suspect there will be no live coverage of the likes of the F1!

So on another note one of my users has now returned home to the UK from New Zealand and sent me an email, which I thought I would paste here. It isn’t something I normally do, even though I have had a few it is more down to time!

Still I thought it would be nice to add as a representative of many of my users, whom I see more as friends than user and makes it all worth while.

Hi Stephen,

I hope you’re well. I just wanted to drop you a line to say a massive thank you for the use of your proxy over the last year or so. It made living in New Zealand feel that little bit closer to home and always worked charm.

Unfortunately my time in NZ has come to an end and I’ve returned to London, so the need for the proxy is no more.

Thanks again for the great service and who knows, perhaps I’ll be in touch again one day if I end up returning overseas!

Cheers,

It has been a while since I updated this blog, mainly due to the fact I am doing this in my spare time, which I have very little of these days. Not surprising when you have a family with two daughters and a wife to keep happy. On top of this I work from home, [...]

BBC Iplayer on Linux with Ubuntu via a Proxy

Last week my daughter was complaining that the laptop was running slow. To be honest slow is an understatement, but unavoidable with vista and a couple of years of downloads! So every so often a reformat of the hard drive and a reinstall of windows usually fixes it, but on this occasion I thought if [...]

BBC Iplayer abroad, well not for everyone! It was announced earlier in December that the BBC IPlayer was going to be available to customers outside the UK, which in some ways I would be happy for, but on closer inspection it appears not quite as one would hope. Apparently when the BBC does launch its [...]

Having just sent out my Christmas Cards (e-cards) to all my users who are watching the BBC Ipayer abroad, I was amazed at how many have replied thanking me for the service. I only say this as I feel quite humbled, which makes me realise how worth while setting up the proxy server in the [...]

It has been a while since my last update in regards to the proxy, which you may or may not be using at the moment, but I thought I should mention a few changes that may be of interest. Firstly I have changed my direct number from Skype to a Vonage number, a big move [...]

Fortunately most people seem to work out how to set up the proxy settings in their browser, but I have found a few who have struggled. So just in case some people do not quite get the written description I have therefore produced a YouTube video, giving a better explanation on how to set up [...]

No need for a proxy for this superb documentary

Sometimes I think I spend too much time on the Internet, I suspect that is part of life as an expat. The upside is that you get to check out stories that interest you and for one it is documentaries that I miss most. Every so often you get to see a programme that really [...]

Not all British Expats

Well it is hard to believe that my proxy has been going now for just over 12 months, considering it was just to see if I could set it up. Later I decided to make it available to other expats, to help with the maintenance costs. What I didn’t expect was the number of new [...]
