Live From Keepit…

I am now online in Lake Keepit… The drive from Tamworth was uneventful. I
was a bit surprised being allowed into the park for free. This is really
good, saving me some money. They just gave me the PIN number for the gate,
and that was that. I have set up my tent. And set it up. I even have power
in the tent.

GPRS is working through OPTUS. Strangely, only OPTUS GPRS is working.
Vodafone and Telstra do not have a base station here obviously. So I am
limited to Email to reduce the cost of access. Tomorrow I will probably
drive to find the closest Vodafone base station to get some higher bandwidth
data downloaded.

Conditions here are interesting… I cannot believe how many flies they have
here. There is a huge market for face nets to keep the flies away. At $3
each they are cheap, and work reliably. I have asked my client who is still
on his way to bring some aeroguard. I hope he got the message.

I have just heard a rumour that there is WiFi here… Hope so… I will
check that in a minute
