Knox Tavern for dinner

Booked in tonight to try out the 'new KT', haven't been there since it burnt down in Sep 2014.

Dell Ultrasharp 1702FP 17" LCD monitor

No picture and LED's flashing like fairy lights

When I was doing the Dell GX270 memory upgrade went off looking for one of my spare monitors and grabbed the above which was working fine last time I used it but that's a few years ago now. After connecting the external 12V/3A power supply turned on at the power point and the three front panel LED's came on like fairy lights - not good.

 

Early 2000 but still a nice monitor...even has DVI !!!

Recovering today…a few aches.

Recovery session from yesterday's house move must be coming along OK as I just finished trimming and mowing - front & back. The Bunnings XU1 18V blade trimmer and blower work really well  - time for a cuppa.

Exciting day for our older daughter

Back home after helping our older daughter move from Skye to her new home in Botanic Ridge. Loading up was OK but unloading at the new place and the trudge up the 'mountain goat' driveway pretty much drained the last of our physical reserves, in particular two items - fridge and mattress.

Presto entertainment

We have Presto again - last year we had it for 6 months free but it was pretty ho-hum so pulled out in the last month. T-box channel 911 is promoting the 6 month free trial again so tried to take up the offer (again) but the promo code was rejected - fair enough. Anyway...ET getting pretty sick of FTA rubbish so signed up using her e-mail to get the one month free trial. Already setup T-box's in lounge and balcony and Lenovo 10" tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note factory reset - continued

From my previous post decided to do a factory reset, running out of storage and went through all the usual stuff like *#9900# to clear the log/cat files etc which previously worked well - but not this time - and I don't want to root the thing to get to other stuff like lost/found. Did a Kies restore which went well and then off to Play Store to see (and this time short list) what apps I want back on the phone. We are done with the rebuild and now have 830MB free storage

Samsung Galaxy Note - factory reset

Some jobs are best left for a rainy day like doing a clean install on a Windows PC, or giving your workshop a good vacuum - or factory resetting your phone.
