presen­ted by pro­fes­sional com­puter geek Nick Hodge”  lulz (mean­ing I am laugh­ing at the fun­ni­ness of my title being on a large ban­ner!)
Thanks to Kaye Fal­lick from the About Seni­ors web­site and magazine for the invit­a­tion to inter­act with the Mel­bourne seni­ors audi­ence.
Most inter­est­ing story of these present­a­tions: a lady impressed me with her data […]

Going Postal over Bandwidth

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

I work online. I live online.
I am a cus­tomer of Inter­node (home ADSL, VoIP, via Tel­stra copper-wire) and Tel­stra NextG (USB card for remote work­ing). There are two Fox­tel digital units in my house. Host­ing for this web site is some­where in the US with Dream­host. My super­an­nu­ation fund is a minor Tel­stra round 3 shareholder. […]

Windows Mobile 6, Treo 750 and Telstra

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Thanks to some good friends I met at TechEd last week, I’ve received and installed a build of Win­dows Mobile 6 on my trusty Treo 750.  Long Zheng talked about this last week.
After a few minutes of resetup (yes, I did have a data backup) my phone has leapt into 2007.
The Treo 750 UI feels faster and […]

Adventures in the BigPond NextG

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Hav­ing an online job I really should have no excuses to be off­line.
Wifi Eth­er­net, paid or unpaid, can be a little like find­ing a needle in a needle fact­ory.
Solu­tion: Popped into a Dick Smith and pur­chased a USB NextG Card.
Why Big­Pond? Microsoft’s mobile phone/data sup­plier is Tel­stra, and Cathye con­vinced me to do it […]

Internetworking with Internode. 97%

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Quiet week in the ‘cot­tage.
Phase 1 of the de-installation of Big­pond as our ISP: Inter­node, all the way! Added ADSL via Inter­node: the highest qual­ity Aussie-owned ISP in Aus­tralia, to the home net­work. Once Tel­stra Whole­sale get their act together, the next step is 8Mbit/s. It seems that Tel­stra has not cor­rectly pro­vi­sioned their IT […]
