I'm not on internode i'm with ozemail.

But maybe they rent from internode in SA.

Interesting

It is..

ppp152-12.lns2.adl2.internode.on.net

----

If it weren't my need for upstream speed and the inability to get cable I would go cable over adsl, it does cost a bit more but I would have to weigh that up at the time. Chances are I would stick with ADSL2. :P

It will be at the same rate in a couple of months as I'll be ~500m away from a node adsl2 enabled exchange. :D

Fingers crossed my guesstimate of where the cable runs is correct and I'm not stuck being 4.3km's away again with only 5mb/s. :P

Im only with telstra as I have a bundled package and get a small discount.

* Foxtel for the kiddies and wife

* Mobile phone $10 with same call credits for the wife (effectivly cost nuetral)

* Home phone

* Broadband for me :P

I was putting it all on FBT here at work but took it away from myself (trying to get a payrise, somehow, lol), so come end of contract I'll be switching to 'Node for their adsl2 service I suppose.

How times change -, it was not so long ago 5 megabit connections were only a dream in SA, and now people will complain if that's all the speed they can get!

using limited resources to satisfy unlimited wants.....

web designers starting to use more and more flash meterial which starts to load cpu and inscrease the sizes of pages so its at an acceptable level for adsl2 people only... 56k is almost completely redundant. thus people wanting faster and faster connections all the time... it used to be a an uncommon sight to see something that was >40 megabytes that was a nessesity for something to be downloaded on the web. now you get game demos and patches and files and applications in the 500>3gig range being downloaded all the time.

Hows the turbo Tangles?

Had her tuned yet?

not as yet, non-affordability issues :D (paid *poorly* monthly)

will go to John at Hitech next month hopefully....

sad; time to find a new job.

on topic - I lurve my computer. :P Last addition will be a G5 mouse sometime

I might know someone that will look at your bike seriously tangles... i will ask them today what they think.

Thanks Pauly, much much appreciated. Spotters fee can be paid...... :P

Was built to keep, but lifestyle changes (loss of kneecap) dictate that I cant ride again, hence it has to go. Can negotiate on price to a certain extent; bear in mind the 10g's of performance mods tho

Unfortunately there is no computer involved (carbies FTW!!11!!), so I cant really say that this post is in the correct section, LOL.... plz excuse me Mr Demon-Moderator (although I did buy a lot of parts for the bike off ebay, hehehe)

on topic - I lurve my computer. :unsure: Last addition will be a G5 mouse sometime

Ive got a g5 and its a bit of a pain sometimes if you play a bit of extended gaming...like bf2.

I tend to grip the mouse with me thumb on the left side, and the ring finger (right hand) on the right side of the mouse to lift / use it. The moulding on the right side of the mouse hurts a little after a while. Try hold it yourself, see if it does the same, or try a razer mouse...

ahh ok, good information.

Im after the G5 for the 2000dpi (adjustability) and for the extra buttons (for use with BF2 for quick prone, crouch action etc)

The lads in my clan rave over it www.unitedforcesworld.com

Id recommend staying away from wireless unless u have to. Soo many things to go wrong, or dropouts, charge the damn things etc...Me mate had 1 die logitech too...

G5 is a great mouse to adjust the res with. I can use it in windows to scroll faster across the screen (20" widescreen) which is a pain for a big window :unsure:

i might have to look into setting the quick prone up with the side button :yes:

Either G5 or the razer series would be my top choices..

Ive just gotten back into playing some bf2 after not being on for a while...just juggling that and trying to learn how to play the guitar in the meantime :huh:

    • Take a couple of the big ones back to "work", leave them in the big bin.   Will make a good boom when the garbage truck emptys it out... I've heard from another source about the boom when they had put I believe it was a 4cylinder engine in the big bins at Richmond base...
    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
