So, what have I been up to this morning… Well, I had an answer back on a problem I had been having with some software. It comes down to definitions. What does ‘Relative Northing’ and ‘Relative Easting’ mean? Well, the …
Not sure what I have on today yet. Probably some more programming, and some system design and phone calls I would guess. I have a teleconference on tuesday to prepare for… At least if i want to be building this …
Last night before falling asleep I started reading the History of The Black Box Flight Recorder. This is an Australian invention, and I had bought my brother a copy of the book for his birthday this year. The book is …
New Years Eve this year is going to be fun. There is a leap second being added on 31/Dec/2005 at the end of the day. That means that the final minute of the year will be 61 seconds long. What …
I have just got back from dinner with my brother – always good to catch up with him. He needs some help installing new lights in his unit – and I really did not understand the scope of what he …
The conditions outside were too good not to go for a run, so I have just got back from one. And I am glad that I did. I did really well… I was running for exactly 30 minutes, and I …

I have been setting up a new PC today for a project and it has been *interesting* at times. Getting the operating system installed was fairly easy and straightforward. What I did find was that I needed to install the …
I tried out my 3G card from Vodafone in a 3G area, and it seems to work well. I did it from the parking lot of a client at North Ryde using the external antenna. It had about 50% signal …

I have just had a really bad thunder storm… Foxtel was cut off for a few seconds, and there were a few short power outages. One of which dropped out my Linux server from power and caused it to reset. …
