I’ve previously used eduroam for WiFi on campus, but as with every new academic year, Sussex uni wireless is broken again.

Although the funding won’t be coming from the original source the university have offered me a Graduate […]

I accidentally followed the instructions for Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) instead of Hardy Heron (8.04) but it seems to have not caused any harm.
