The stupidity of making everyone in the entire year to visit the UCAS website to apply online at 2PM today was obvious! As everyone slowly started signing up, the connection to the site got slower and slower until nearly everyone's timed out, or just took aaages!

However... it's great when you have a proxy installed at home, and you tunnel it through SSH! This way, I was able to finish my application before most people, even though I mucked around quite a bit and had to talk to my tutor!

Ah- finally getting broadband is really paying off in a strange number of ways!
