ADSL2+ - Wow, what a Difference Moving House makes

Submitted by admin on

Recently I moved house, well actually from a small house, to an even smaller flat for want of a better word, at my previous residence, I was about 2760 metres cable (telephone line) distance from the telephone exchange, going by ADSL2 exchanges website > http://goo.gl/pt33m (You are 2045 m from SRTN as the crow flies. Estimated cable length of 2760.75 m. Estimated speed of 8666 Zone 1), that's where I used to live, so I was never going to get great speeds at that distance.

Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin - MythTV

Submitted by admin on

I just did a full install of Ubuntu 12.04 on my MythTV HTPC, I tried an upgrade but it didn't take, having said that I don't blame the ubuntu upgrade process, my HTPC was more than MythTV, it was where my torrent client was and also SABnzbd resided to do there nefarious work in the wee hours while I was asleep. It also ran Zoneminder really well as it happens with two Network cameras for home security and rarely missed a beat with all that going on basically 24/7. Ubuntu 10.04 worked really well for what I was doing with it on a slightly older machine than what's available today.

Aussie Farmers Direct - Feed back - Three months later

Submitted by admin on

Ok, ok, it was over three months since I left my feed back, but still they did reply, apparently though I live the life of a movie star and am extremely difficult to make contact with, I wish I remembered all the fun I've been having whilst being so god damn busy and all.

Do Not Knock - Salespeople - Get the Sticker!

Submitted by admin on
do not knock

I'm not sure how long these stickers have been around, but I heard about them and ordered some, if you don't like being disturbed by door to door salespeople I suggest you do the same, order a few to give to friends, family and neighbours, I think it is also important we protect our vulnerable from these leeches, give one to elderly friends and neighbours, so they don't get sucked in by these door to door liars, they work on commission, so they do anything to get a sale. Wouldn't it be great to get your whole street on board.
