No matter which provider you plump for, the UK’s fiber broadband roll-out won’t connect many under-served rural communities. Annoyed at the snub, residents of Frilford and Frilford Heath teamed up with infrastructure business Gigaclear to do something about it — with startling results. The company’s fiber broadband service promises a whopping 1,000Mbps, putting it in the same leagues as Google’s Kansas-based internet experiment. While it’ll set locals back £195 ($295) to reach that top speed, it’s far better than having no choice at all.Filed under: NetworkingComments

Digging was awesome, if messy. I was turfing up iron age stuff, circa 800-44 BC, and despite the rain it went pretty well. Decent finds include:

Cow knee

Iron/copper slag, as well as a tiny piece of copper

Cow femur

flint blade (knife?)

a metric fuckton of pot shards

Though I'm still annoyed I didn't find any corpses.

In the pit next to mine somebody found a skeleton, with the skull split almost exactly in half. She seems to have been dumped in pretty unceremoniously, so it looks like some kind of execution, maybe? Either way, pretty cool stuff.

Oh, and did I mention I was washing bones in Radiohead's old recording studio?
