Once there was three...Cara guarding our first Silkie chooks.

iBurst Desktop Wireless Modem

Playing around with one of these now... pretty good preformance!

This works OK where the PC card will not pick up any signal!

Mobile Spaces on my i-mate JAM

Here are some pics of my JAM displaying the MSN Mobile Spaces "My Space" home page.

Setup your Mobile Spaces space

1. Create a space from a mobile device.  MS Smartphones, Pocket PCs, Palms, and most popular mobile phones are supported.  Just browse over to http://mobile.spaces.msn.com from your mobile device (or go to http://spaces.msn.com and you will be redirected to the mobile version)


2. See a list of your contacts' recently updated spaces.  This feature is really useful for a mobile device and great for catching up with people!  Just "click" on a contact to get to their space and start exploring.


3. Add blog entries, view your archives, email a link to your space, and even change your settings - all from your itty bitty mobile device.


4. Read and add new comments (my favorite feature!)  You are now able to stay on top of discussions from wherever you happen to be - in school, on a bus, in a meeting, or in line at Starbucks.

New theme for my site

Golly...the dogs in this theme look like my dog!

My daughters 18th birthday!

For Natalie's 18th birthday on Saturday (13/8) we went to La Prochetta Pizza Restaurant in Glen Waverley. Lighting was pretty low but I took some SP3 pics anyway - Nat, Tegan and Mish & Aron.

So long ago...and younger

Before and after pictures of my dog Cara (Maremma X) when she had a bath on the morning of Saturday 20th March 1999. 

Web site updates

I have added some nifty things like:

• Windows Media Player, the clip is taken with a i-mate Smartphone 2 at a friends BBQ


• My “Pic of the day” photo using the “Custom HTML” module

 

GMC 1400W pressure cleaner

 

Purchased this about 5 years ago at Bunnings for I think around $60. This is the third unit; the first two were exchanged within months of each other because of lance problems. Since then this third unit has performed well and I have had it long enough now that I am ahead and don’t really care that GMC is kuput.

This is a very basic unit, the only accessory is a detergent dispenser - it is useful.
