Just when I thought I had my TPG ADSL2+ connection all set up, TPG cuts my upload speeds in half again! More on that in just a minute.
Following on from my earlier post about the NB9W hanging, I plugged the NB5Plus4 I borrowed and set it up in bridge mode, which means I disabled it’s […]
It’s true. The ANZ online banking web site has undergone some recent changes. Apart from a face lift, I’m not sure what else has changed.
I use Microsoft Money to keep track of my savings and expenses. Money works great if you live in the US… alot of banks either let you connect to them directly […]
I upgraded my ADSL account with TPG recently to ADSL2+. I was very excited to see what speeds I could get. When the line was activated, I quickly bought myself a new modem router. The Netcomm NB9W had favorable reviews and seemed to have everything anyone would one, with wireless and VoIP capabilities thrown in.
Having […]
I just built myself a new computer (more details next time) and the original motherboard I wanted to get was the Intel D975XBX. It had good reviews, and from my previous experience, Intel motherboards have been known for their rock solid stability.
The D975BX was very short in supply in Sydney as it was in high […]
My rear projector TV has been stuffed for 2 months. Fortunately, I got an extended warranty for 5 years when I bought the TV. Unfortunately, the extended warranty wasn’t with Panasonic but another insurance company. To keep a long story short, it’s been 2 months, and the repairer is only coming this Thursday to repair […]

Apologies for not posting anything new in ages, but thought I’d share this little gem. Last year, I bought myself a Navman 300 Pocketpc GPS unit. As I used it more and more, I found it extemely difficult to establish a satellite lock, which meant I couldn’t use the stupid thing. When it worked, it […]
I was very blessed this week. Not only did I get my replacement iPod yesterday, today my dear sister gave me her new Vodafone Sony Ericsson V600i 3G phone. Vodafone Australia’s trying to get everyone on to 3G, and are practically giving this phone away to any of their existing customers who ask for one.
My […]
2 weeks ago, I had the sudden urge to backup all 28.5gb of music on my iPod. I use Anapod from Redchair, so it was a simple matter of copying and pasting to my hard drive.
So everything was dumped over without a hitch, but the next day, there was trouble! When I tried playing a […]

Blasted thing wouldn’t allow any USB storage devices to work, such as my portable external hdd or USB keys.Whenever I plugged my hdd in, the broken USB icon would show on the taskbar with the balloon message “USB Device Not Recognized”. Very annoying cause I had alot of […]
