I used to think that internet tracking for parcels was a fantastic little thing. You could see it at every stage! How neat! But actually, it's a curse. I know that my parcel got onto the delivery van at 06:03:28 this morning but I know nothing else. I refresh the page at the moment approximately once every 5 minutes because I keep getting distracted by the thought of my parcel but nothing changes. What I need is some kind of push notification - get it to ping me on IM when the status changes or something. Next generation, perhaps?

Edit: Hah! I refreshed the page as soon as I posted this entry and it's been delivered! Yay!

It has been slightly surreal to realise listening to the news over the past couple of days that aside from the fact that it's an old ship, I know absolutely nothing about the Cutty Sark. I should really look it up on wikipedia or something. Am I remarkably ignorant or is it rather more obsure than it's headline billing?

ETA Boy what sucky typing! Oh for a poll editor!
