I just took receipt of a Samsung NC10 – $0 upfront on a two year contract with Optus – monthly 2GB of 3G data for use with the built in HSPA modem. I’m actually typing on it on the train right now. It meets most of my requirements, though I am still using Windows XP [...] Ever since the countdown of the Triple J Hottest 100 of all time, I felt a little cheated. I reckon some songs shouldn’t have been in the list, and here is a list of songs that should have been in there! (Note: these songs probably shouldn’t be top-10 or anything – but they should have [...] The old Athlon XP 2500+ died last week, so it was time for an upgrade anyway. The old beast hadn’t been upgraded for a while. It did have a new monitor, keyboard and hard-drives, but it was getting slow. The case was cheap in 2002 so probably the whole thing was running a little hot. [...] The solar people finally got around to installing the panels on the roof! The original install date was meant to be in January 2009; they were installed on 29 May, and we are still waiting for the solar hot water to be installed. The company is not very good at giving reliable timeframes for installation [...] Taking a day off work for the plumber to come around to install our new toilet after the old one cracked and became loose. I don’t get a lot of time by myself these days so it’s good to just chill out around the house. However, I need to go out today and buy some [...] The Hood is back, though I’m still recovering data from my last attempt. They got in, not sure if it was through the theme or OpenID… The HTC Dream running Android and the Apple iPhone are both available through Optus in Australia, so it is easy to directly compare their plans and coverage on the same network. The cheapest plan available with both phones is the $59 per month plan which includes $350 of calls and 500MB of mobile internet data. [...] More planning for our upcoming Japan trip. To those who don’t know the Wife and I are going to go to Japan for two weeks near the end of March. My sister is currently teaching English there so it will be a good opportunity to have someone “on the inside” as it were. A few [...] I’ve finally gotten around to doing some stuff to this blog. I’m trying this theme and so far I’m happier with it. I’ll be doing some more customisation shortly! Obsolete browsers I have decided that I won’t even test my personal sites in IE6 any more. There are a few features I’m planning on adding [...] There has been a lot of talk about the best modern portable computing platform. Things like the iPhone are really popular, as are “traditional” laptops. By “traditional” I mean the clamshell which opens up so that the display and the keyboard are both protected during transit, but both are usable when opened. The new “netbooks” [...] |
