So did the receiver/transmitter thingy work? Nope. The connection on the back of the Foxtel box is a D coupling… whereas on the transmitter… it’s a standard AV triple wire thingy. This means a visit to the shop to buy a converter. Grrr…. More later once I’ve bought one! 🙂
No not the radio… nor my LAN… just that months ago I bought a wireless transmitter for our Foxtel connection and am yet to install it. The connection into the house is upstairs, but when the old man and old lady came to stay we moved downstairs to make life easier for them (and us … More Wireless blues
I’d not realised until now that it’s possible to embed video from YouTube into WordPress! For security reasons the developers have always shied away from allowing arbitrary code to be inserted in any of the posts but they seem to have overcome the problem and we can now add movies on an ad hoc basis. … More Here's a new trick!
I’ve been trying to work out with the support guy why despite a software update the WordPress installation showed an earlier version number. Easy once you know why. We moved all the sites to a new server… but until the DNS is changed it still points to the old server… and of course… the old … More Me a silly billy.
As if I haven’t enough to be going on with online (let alone of) I somehow seem to have managed to get myself mixed up in developing two more sites. The first site, called Magic Muggles, is a little redundant already in that it’s going to be the ‘web presence’ of a newsgroup I frequent … More More IT doings.
I opened the reseller account with Jumba because they promised a great service level. So far the sites have been offline 4 days, they’re not moved and there will *still* be propagation to consider when they *are* moved. I’m starting to think I got rooked again. I sent a ‘support ticket’ into the parent company … More Jumba Hosting problems.
No sure why exactly but the move to the new hosts has been delayed… so I *could* have been typing away for the past few days and discussing all that’s been happening. Instead of which… well hmmm. I understand the move will be made tonight so I’ll hold off posting for another day just in … More Move delayed
This will be the last post for a few days. The sites will all be moving to their new host over the next few days and I don’t want to lose more posts than I have to. I’ll be back either on Monday 27th August, or towards the middle of next week depending how long … More Opinion Australia is on the move!!
At long last, I’ve started rationalising our IT configuration which has been in a dreadful (and expensive) mess for some time. Again this month we’ve reached the download limit of our Internet account (12 Gb) and the ISP has ‘shaped’ the speed down to 64K which is totally unacceptable. As part of a general shakeup … More IT reconfiguration underway at last.
In an effort to help protect children, the Australian government is offering free internet content filters for all Australian citizens. Copies are free and if you need one they’ll even post you a copy (which is the option *I* chose! :)) If you live in Australia and would like a free copy… or if you … More Free Childnet filters!
