New Radio

I look after a couple of servers for a friend who I met earlier this year, as a token of thanks for helping out a new Yaesu 857D arrived today. Thanks Michael 🙂

Unfortunately as we drove up the street tonight the power went out 🙁 So I opened the box and had a look as much as I good via candle light, looks like a nice bit of gear.

Spent the rest of the night sitting in the backyard listening to the fires on KI using the scanner I bought a month or so back. Sounds like it might be a pretty horrible situation, lots of extra fire crews and other emergency services crews are on the way over.

Jetstar got mac!

So tonight I was browsing through the normal daily run of spam advertising that arrives in my inbox and I noticed this Jetstar advert.

Jetstar Macbook Pro

Looks like Jetstar or their advertising/marketing/design company thought a Macbook Pro would be a good look, and it is.

I must admit I love the design and look of my Macbook Pro, infact all the Apple laptops look a lot better than just about anything out there.

Apple fanboi? Me? Noooo never 😛

Pics from October

After a long time of not taking any photos I’ve been out and about the last few months. Here’s a couple of pics taken this month.

However I’ve realised that my 300d has dust somewhere on the sensor, thankfully it’s only minor and only shows up on certain pics taken in certain conditions.

So I’ll live with it for now and pay the $100 to get it cleaned some other month!

Gmail has IMAP – Finally!

Have you ever wished that Gmail had IMAP capability? Well the wait is nearly over it seems!

I noticed today under the settings area for one of my Gmail accounts “Forwarding & POP” has been expanded to be Forwarding & POP/IMAP” and there is the appropriate section to to enable/disable IMAP.

Gmail IMAP

So now there is another option to access Gmail, it’s just about the perfect email solution 🙂
