SSH Timeouts on DOCSIS 3 (Virgin Media 50Mb, 100Mb, 120Mb)
Since moving to Virgin's 120Mb Broadband my SSH connections would drop after 30 seconds of inactivity. This made some grey hairs appear on the side of my head.
This happens due to the way Virgin handle the Internet traffic on their DOCSIS 3 network, as opposed to lower broadband speeds that use the DOCSIS 1 network.
I've managed to solve this by altering the client time out parameters in the SSHD config on each server.

The tap in the Kitchen
A fantasticaly inexplicable email appeared today.
Please can you make sure that when you turn the tap off in the kitchen you don’t turn it till it stops dripping.
It’s meant to drip & people have been struggling to turn it back on.

What is the difference between ‘learnt’ and ‘learned’?
Apparently, not much. These are alternative forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Learnt is more common in British English, and learned in American English. It's an irregular verb, and this is a part of its irregularity.
British people - 'Learnt' please.
