adsl2+ services on Telstra exchanges

Internode just struck a deal with Telstra over access to adsl2+ services on Telstra exchanges.

Prior to this deal if you were on a level 2 or 3 exchange the best you would get was an adsl 1 connection limited to 1.5 meg down – I have been on this for a while.

This, it [...]

Community asset or underwater junkyard?

When reading this article I had a couple of positions.

1. Artificial reefs were probably a good thing 2. Fish populations need protection

I guess we have all seen the fisho documentaries with fish gliding around sunken ships and other debris we have thrown into the ocean so I thought this would have to be [...]

Wordpress upgrade version 3.0

The upgrade from version 2.9.1 to 2.9.2 never actually happened as at each attempt the process failed.

Thinking it was an issue with the upgrade package I thought that I could wait for the next upgrade and this would over ride or remove the issue I was having with 2.9.1.

I was wrong.

So my [...]

With the rapid uptake of VOIP many users are getting caught out as they dump their POTS (plain old telephone systems) when they find that their analogue fax devices no longer work over the VOIP account – YEP – there certainly is a difference..

Oztion.com.au

A slowly but surely developing auction site.

It has been around for a few years and generally I have found the experience to be OK. While not attracting buyers of things like heat exchangers, filterbags or vegetable oil products it definitely has a pretty loyal userbase.

I have found some sites around the internet, after [...]

1 : 250000 chance we will be hit – Russia to save us

Possibly a good one to close the year with. Admittedly it is a few years away, but after a few committee meetings and serious discussions on whether an impact will have an impact (no pun intended) on business. The world goverrnments could organise a major meeting somewhere where they can agree on [...]

Extermination by asteroid – sounds a lot more formal than global warming. Perhaps we should shut up shop now and avoid the worry?

Australian Book site

Just came across BOOKFAIR.

Looks like a site trying to define itself amongst all the other online selling areas. A bit different in that it appears to only want book sellers who have put in the hard miles to establish themselves rather than anyone who just wishes to sell books.

Worth a look.

Forum Mentality

Forums are an interesting place especially when coupled to a media such as the internet. The ability to proffer any opinion without being required to either face up to or provide any sort of supporting evidence allows a quick slide to the bottom.

The sludge at the bottom of many forums can be thick and [...]

How to kill a pollak 6 port fuel valve (2)

I posted yesterday how a pollak can be destroyed by a lower than rated voltage in your vehicle.

The Pollak switching requires a full 12 volts to drive the valve into the completed contact position to prevent a partial contact which can cause the switch to burn out.

While a strong unit, it is preferable [...]
