I have needed to do some hardware repairs on a tracking unit. Strangely, both units had the same problem with them – both had a faulty LED because a miniture resistor had been damaged. I could not (and still cannot) work out what happened to cause these resistors to be ‘destroyed’. Very strange. But replacing the minute parts was fairly easy.

In an aviation story, in the SMH there is news of a Light Plane that landed at Sydney Airport today. The plane was caught above cloud over the great dividing range, on route to Hoxton Park. But he could not find a path through the clouds so he got sent out to sea by Air Traffic Control to find a space in the clouds and landed at Sydney Airport. He had 20 minutes fuel left so he was rather lucky.

The SMH is also reporting that the government is releasing a report tomorrow about VOIP, and the requirements for VOIP service providers, according to Australian IT. Should be an interesting read.
