Masticate

Day 3 - Masticate

"1. To chew (food)
2. to reduce (materials such as rubber) to a pulp by crushing, grinding or kneading.

From the Greek - mastikhan - to grind the teeth"

Get it? Chew it.

On a separate note, after 4 weeks of my internet connection being, at best, intermittent, I got a clue this morning as to the problem, when the crappy bog standard ADSL modem that BT supplied me with 2 years ago started flashing red lights at me. Quick trip to a well known computer shop, new wireless router with built in modem purchased, 5 minutes untangling the mass of wires at the back of my machine and setting up new toy, and voila, uninterrupted internet connection which is a damn sight faster than I have had in the past 2 years. It also has a nifty upload/download speed monitor on it too! And my desk is tidier because I have got rid of the old modem and the separate wireless router (which I think might have been conflicting with something on my machine anyway as it all seems to have speeded up somewhat). Hurrah.
