The following was a news article that I intended to record and have included in this week’s WIA National News service, however I had problems cutting it down to the 1:30 required. So, I’ve put in additional information that there wasn’t time for, and I intend to put in a short piece for next week’s [...]

Well, I’ve recently gained some employment where I’m making use of VMWare Server to run a Windows 2003 virtual machine. This VM runs ION Enterprise, Schneider Electric’s energy management package. The project I’m working on will involve communicating with this software package. Now, I’m working from home, and luckily I had the foresight to upgrade [...]
Just installed a wireless card in the laptop I use at Laidley… the wireless card is a pretty standard Intel Pro/Wireless 2915ABG mini-PCI card. It works flawlessly under Linux. I think it was originally from an IBM Thinkpad T41, as it has “FRU: 93P4239″ which when used as a search keyword, leads me to that [...]
Well, I really didn’t think I’d be writing a post like this. This is following on from, and indirectly in reply to, an operator who decided to call in on the Australia-Wide Night-Owl and Insomnia net which is held every Friday night at 3595kHz. Now, this net is pretty laid back… all are welcome. There [...]
Telemarketers are a pet hate of mine. I’ve made my point about them before, so I won’t repeat it. Tonight we had a different class of telemarketing. That is… a company that you do have dealings with, contacting you to advertise another service. In this instance, it was Telstra offering us a discounted internet service. [...]

Lately I’ve been looking around at microcontrollers. With my work with Eze Corp, I’ve gotten quite accustomed to the MSP430. It’s a nice little MCU, with a very low power drain, gcc port and is in general, quite easy to drive. At my workplace, I use a Windows XP machine to do development under MSYS, [...]
Open letter to Minister Stephen Conroy regarding the proposed internet filter. Over the last year, we’ve heard a number of people step up, complaining about this proposal, and what it will mean in terms of freedom-of-speech, and internet speeds. I also heard a rumour that mentioned the blocking of peer-to-peer traffic. Now, it is very [...]
Some of you may be wondering where I have been the last two days. I have not been on IRC, forums, or on the radio much at all this last 48 hours. I did call in to the BARC 2m net the other night… put in one over, then handed it on to the next [...]
The attacks on the US that occurred 11th September, 2001, killed 3000 people, injured about 7000, cost and less than a billion dollars. Maybe a little more when welfare payments and rebuilding is factored in. The US following the attacks was still going strong. The mismanagement that has lead to the current economic crisis will [...]
