Tech and other stuff
I am starting a new project which needed a better quality webcam (vodcast) so I have been looking around a bit and eventually came across a local supplier that had a great deal on the Logitech C920 HD Webcam.
Out of the box, it is a pretty decent webcam but I wouldn’t give it to higher status even though it is 1080p. Continue reading “Logitech C920 HD Camera – Tips and Tricks”
I was reading an article on a blog that appears to be a new outlet for Dick Smith called Australia What is the Real cost of Shopping at Costco & Aldi. I have sat on this for the last couple of days just making sure I really thought about what to write before shooting my mouth off.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of Dick Smith Foods products. I have been eating Bush Foods Breakfast for years and we always have had Dick Smith’s Crunchy Peanut Butter in the cupboard. Just recently, we have been able to compliment our stash of 333 MightyMite with OzEmite (just a shame the jar is so small, any chance of a bulk pack?).

We have been living in Warragul, VIC for over 18 months and during that time it has really been pointless in having a mobile phone at home (well our home and the surrounding area). The signal was extremely weak from the two towers that covered town due to the land topography.
Congestion was also a previous issue. When you did have reasonable signal, data conectivity was patchy at best due to the amount of hand sets that would connect to the current infrastructure.
Well, all that changed just on a week ago when the third tower in the area came on-line. We now have full signal at home, even in a fully insulated house.
I am pleased to report that data congestion on the Telstra network has been mitigated and that you are able to place and receive calls with ease (no more ventures to the nature strip just to make a call hold).
So a big thank you to Telstra for your continued investment in regional Victoria. So not only do we have Telstra 4G LTE access, we also have superior network coverage.
Yes, I know, OpenBSD 5.1 has been released since 1 May 2012, however my blog wasn’t up then. It did get a mention on my Twitter and G+ pages so all is not lost.
I highly recommend supporting the project by buying a CD release or making a donation. While you are waiting for your physical media, do download the installer and get cracking with this fine, very mature and secure operating system.
After numerous false starts in blogging, I am hoping to keep this one going.
I suppose the reason behind the false starts is that previous efforts have been subject based with a very narrow focus. The problem with going down this sort of path is that when your hobbies and/or ideals change, the blog becomes pointless.
