I am starting to get a few new readers and users signing up. This is great except they all look a bit the same and people are signing up with no info and a few appear to be “interesting” I will be going back to approving signups, for a number of reasons - I do [...] Continue reading Bit sad really………….. Listening to an ABC programme yesterday that was delving into narcissism and later cultural differences, for some reason mainly between the USA and Australia, and the development of self esteem. (This link provides an opportunity to Listen to Phillip Adams, as well as download the audio) Of course this is all my short take on [...] Continue reading The generation of self respect I have noticed in my stats that quite a few international visitors are coming here from google searches. These searches are generally aligned with biodiesel, running vehicles on vegetable oil, heat exchangers or the filtering of vegetable oil Telepoint will ship these items internationally, please contact me for a quote before buying. I will accept paypal and [...] Continue reading International Visits Could global warming be a result of the sins (yes, as in religion) of our system? Are we being punished because of sins we have committed against the stability of the Earth? By using a carbon trading system and actually privatising that trading system (ie more of the same) are we making that sin worse? [...] Continue reading Privatisation of Global warming There is constant debate on the impact of a growing energy market, particularly in liquid fuels, as to whether or not the constant demand will lead to food shortages. I have heard it debated in pubs and forums and now also the Nestle and linking with the UN and getting in on the act. Why does a [...] Continue reading Biofuels – will they starve the world? Traffic to the new bulletin board is increasing slowly, thanks maninly to a very active bunch of participants, and a small but steady sttream of new users. There is no doubt that the easy bit about these types of software is the install, the hard part if generating the interest and the participants. People who [...] Continue reading Great traffic and we are getting there! We have been in this system now for many years and the biggest recent example if the bailout of Bear Sterns Bank. Are we suckers or what? The skills shortage is real, why is it happening now? A few years back business said they did not want to provide training, they ran down apprenticeships and [...] Continue reading Privatise the profits and socialise the loses ABC ran this article today and I am even more convinced that we still do not get it! Emissions trading ‘could produce $20b windfall’ http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/03/20/2194865.htm This income is not a windfall or a bonus, it is a part payment for damages already done, to even suggest it could be used for anything but paying for [...] Continue reading They just don’t get it………….. The modifications I wish to make to this bulletin board are not going quite as planned. Changes installed into the database files don’t seem to want to appear on the site. Never mind it will happen. Geoff The Bulletin Board is established and starting to get a few posts, you never know it might be a success? While some of these items are a bit different to selling heat exchangers and filter bags IT is always a learning curve and the install and modification of some of these open source softwares can [...] Continue reading Another day passes I am a member of both the Kempsey and Port Macquarie FREECYCLE groups. If you have not heard of FREECYCLE it is a process where if you have goods or services that you no longer wish to keep or just wish to help, you can offer them via a mailing list to others on that [...] Continue reading Freecycle – passing stuff on to others 2007 I purchased a canon 400D digital SLR camera. This was a fairly hefty investment. Almost immediatley I had issues with the on board flash unit and passed this info back to the shop where it was purchased. Their advice was to contact Canon via a web contact which I did. Canon advised it should [...] Continue reading Warranty – what is it worth? In a fast moving world of the internet and the get ahead at all costs mentality I am beginning to think that we are losing the art of conversation? Why must there be a purpose to all that we do? What is wrong and sitting down and discussing the colour of the grass or the [...] Continue reading The Gentle Art of Conversation Just about what I am actually pushing here and as I streamline a bit more I will make this less obtrusive. Telepoint tries to sell heat exchangers and filter bags for national and international visitors mainly for the purpose of running motor vehicles on waste or new vegetable oil. There are many resources available to [...] Continue reading Heat Exchanger and Filter Bags Got it going and invite people to try it out. I have created a few “starter” topics to test the system, som emay be removed later as they are really a top of the head thing. All feedback is of course appreciated. Telepoint Bulletin Board When this blog was setup I had an idea that I would not moderate it in any way BUT now that it has started I feel the need to keep it on an even keel until I get it all sorted out. While I appreciate free speech (ooops wrong country) I still wish to have [...] Continue reading to moderate or not? Sticking with the communnication theme and always willing to burn hours on silly projects I have just done a generic install of phpBB Aside from failing to comprehend some of the permissions settings related to who can see what and do whatever it is working. I look forward to any advice on content on what [...] Continue reading New Bulletin Board When using WVO (waste vegetable oil) it is my opinion that an excess of filtering is far preferable to the minimalist approach. There is generally much discussion about filtering in the biofuels forum regarding process and materials used. Why I use a green woollies bag to coarse filter, ie get rid of teh chips and any [...] Continue reading Filtering – can there be too much? The Federal Govt just gave the alcohol industry a 53 million shot in the arm by funding work on binge drinking. Is this industry worth so much that we cannot just say – you are causing problems, pay for the mess. And the crime stats released tonight also show that the 2 pubs voted as [...] Continue reading why wouldn’t they welcome it. Why do I always get suspcious when industry groups such as the Hotels Association claim that making venues stop serving alcohol at midnight will not solve the problem of binge drinking or violence outside venues in the early morning? I personally think that someone who is 1/2 full and aggro will probably be full and [...] Continue reading The joys of binge drinking……….. The internet is a great resource, it has provided me with opportunities to to access information that only 10 years ago would have required face to face discussions and a ton of letters to get – even then it would not be complete. Are you running a business? What a question, bouncing around auction sites [...] Continue reading The prevalence of informed discussion I would appreciate any feedback if you experience the situation where the right sidebar information displays below the article or post. I do not know why, but every now and then it seems to do this of its own accord !!!!!!! Geoff The Biofuels Forum is a great source of easy and valuable information on using biofuels and alternative fuels. There is a lot of information on heat exchangers and 1 and 5 micron filter bags suitable for your conversion. Use the many tips and you can be away on a trip to a new world using [...] Continue reading Interesting sites It looks like heat exchangers and this blog are being indexed on google as my stats are starting to show visitors using this search engine to get here. Heat exchangers and 1 and 5 micron filter bags are available in Australia and internationally from Telepoint Geoff |
