I went for the run. I only did the 2.5KM version, since that was enough for me today. The weather was a bit hottoer today than it has been so that really affects things. Also as I was about to leave a friend from a few houses up asked if I could come and help him install his Air Conditioner for 10 minutes. And I was waiting for a courier package so that is some time. <\/p>\n
Basically the 2.5km run was enough for me today. I will probably rest tomorrow and see how I go doing the 3KM on thursday. <\/p>\n
What I forgot to mention earlier was my lunch. I had Thai food – Pad Khi Mau Gai (Or spicy noodles with chicken), and I love it. The people at my local Thai restraunt know me know, and are making it progressivly hotter for me for some reason. When I had the first bite today I must have needed about half a glass of water. I think I had two large tall glasses of water during the takeaway meal. It was really nice though. <\/p>\n
The strange thing is that I have neber had this out at a restraunt – one of these days I will have to go to Gordon Thai and see how they go making it. From past experience I am sure they will do a good job. <\/p>\n
Whilst I am writing this I am also using my DVD burner to move some files off the Hard Disk. As mentioned before I have been having some issues for a few days with this. Today is my final test before I ring dell and tell them to fix this again. This is a new fault – I believe that the DVD has experienced an ELF – and Early Life Failure. <\/p>\n
What that means is that devices are more likely to fail when they are new or old. They are less likely to fail in mid-life. And I would bet a lot of money on this unit having failed in service. I hate it when technology does not work. <\/p>\n
The DVD recorder seems to be stuck on 1x burn too mostly. This is not good. <\/p>\n
It looks like the earliest I will be working on the plane is easter monday. Richard and I have both been really busy, and I have been unable to get over there to help him work on it since the end of february. <\/p>\n
A friend of mine sent me a document describing the differences between Unwired and GPRS as seen by one person. Their experience was that they both operated in a similar manner, offering similar costs, but that the round trip times (commonly called ‘PING Times’) were much slower with GPRS<\/p>\n
But GPRS is a more scalable solution which is why the ping times are longer. There are ways to improve the performance of GPRS but they mostly require the carrier to set it up. <\/p>\n
Unwired allows connections to contact the local PC from the Internet. Most GPRS providers do not have this option, placing a NAT gateway in between the unit and the internet. <\/p>\n
How do I know all this? Well, telecommunications engineering was my major at University. And I have been dealing with these types of equipment for most of my adult life. <\/p>\n
