    Won’t having more RAM mean more stuff is loaded into it so there will be less disk access which is more of a power hog than the RAM, so would agree you need to look elsewhere for your drop in battery life. How old is the battery?

    Agree Flint has a new superhero to replace Rushie, positive I could hear the screaming in the Quay.

    There was a feature in STW also, but for a different Welsh coast to coast. So far we have not heard of anyone mad enough to repeat it yet >>

    I’m trying to decide which one I am, love my 14-140 for the flexibility but I’ve come up with a cunning plan to get a cheap 14mm F2.5 to carry when I’m out on my bike as I like landscapes and fitting the 14-140 in the Camelbak doesn’t leave much spare room.

    Oh I agree that position compared to zooming in/out are different, but if you have not got the option then you have to use your head/feet a bit more, perhaps not the best choice of words to explain that.

    You just have to think about where you position yourself more, you can’t be lazy and zoom in/out. Here’s some taken with the 20mm >>


    Needed to step back a bit and use 14mm for this thou >>

    I’ve a GF3 and a G3 with a small collection of lenses for them, the 20mm F1.7 pancake lens is good in low light but its really slowww focusing compared to other MFT lenses including the 14-42 so not ideal if you want to take pictures of any street action etc.

    If you are in the city and in museums then you’ll find that you can end up just in 14mm all of the time to get everything in frame and then have to bump up the ISO just to get something in a sensible (no tripods allowed etc) sort of shutter speed.

    So my advice give it a go with what you have, but if you want something that’ll work a bit better in low light than the 14-42 and would make a good travel lens due to its size then the 14mm F2.5 pancake might be worth a try.

    I’ve got a Transformer, which gets used for work taking notes and typing stuff up whilst travelling on the train, love the flexibility with memory slots and USB ports and of course the battery life when docked. However if it is for just around the home mainly as a consumption device how about the Nexus 7? Mine arrived today and its v/well made and pretty quick, to early to tell on battery life thou, will save you a lot of money over the Prime and would be ideal for smaller hands.

    Glyn Ceriog area perhaps? There’s rock of course mud it Wales after all and usually some seriously deep puddles to ride thru, but there are some belting descents to be had. It’s one of those quiet MTB areas which I’ll probably get a slap for mentioning.

    Cotic large size has fitted perfect for me (just over 6ft2) on all four that I have had, Hemlock feels Exactly like the Soul/Soda in top tube length wise. The Roadrat I’ve had for a very long time so went with the recommended 130mm stem at the time and it’s still a very nimble bike.

    Is that even a pic of a UK bike? front brake looks to be the US style on the left hand side.

    Looks a later model 2005 onwards perhaps, note no V brake mounts on the swingarm, can’t tell if its the upgraded swingarm with the increased tyre clearance thou.

    IPv4 address is 32 bits represented as 4 groups of octets
    IPv6 address is 128 bits represented as 8 groups of 16 bit hex digits

    In a IPv6 address you can omit leading zeros in a 16 bit value and you can also replace one group of consecutive zeros with a double colon.

    Challenge is a lot of operating systems support IPv6 but only a tiny handful of the typical routers deployed on broadband a capable of supporting IPv6, there are however ISP’s out there already doing trials and deployments to end users.

    I’m down from 111.8kg on New Years day to 93.6kg today, have been flying (well for me) on my bikes, knocked 49mins off my Dyfi Enduro time this year so well chuffed with the results to date.

    Mines arrived today, been laid up all week with a stomach bug so it’ll have to wait a little while longer until I have the energy to have a good tinker with it. Have to say it’s smaller than you think it it.

    If you do want an AV program for example you may receive an infected email without knowing it and then forward it on to windows user, then ClamAV.

    For a firewall Gufw https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw

    ubuntu-restricted-extras for various codecs, fonts and plugins.

    If you have some must play windows games and you find using wine a bit of a faff then PlayonLinux is a great front end to wine to install/play such games.

    SIP ALG on some routers is a command line only option you have to Telnet to the routers management IP address instead. For Games consoles (I assume that’s the case for BF3) have you tried turning UPNP on instead of opening a whole pile of ports?

    Russell96

    Common thing on home routers and IP Phones/Soft Phones is that the routers have Application Level Gateways for various services one of which is for SIP. Idea is that the ALG should help in solving any NAT related problems, however in lots of cases the softswitch that your phone is registering to, is a lot better at solving NAT issues than a very cheap in comparison home router, also a lot of the routers SIP ALG’s really mangle up the packets. Try turning off the SIP ALG before you go about trying to punch holes in your firewall.

    http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Routers+SIP+ALG

    Also for SIP phones if you do end up opening up things in your firewall then there is usually a whole pile of TCP/UDP ports invovled. Quick Google brings up these as common ports for Siemens IP phones.

    Port Type Number Service
    ?UDP 53 DNS PORT
    ?UDP 3478 STUN SERVER COMMUNICATIONS?
    UDP 5060/61 SIP COMMUNICATIONS (plus custom ports)?
    UDP 5082 SIP COMMUNICATIONS (OUTBOUND PROXY)
    UDP 5004-5020 RTP,RTCP,VOICE

    The power zoom lens isn’t getting stellar reviews at the moment, maybe a firmware update will fix it/maybe not.

    There have been deals knocking about recently for the GF3 with a 14-42 and a 14 prime for £299 at Jessops once you take the cashback into account. The GF3’s flash doesn’t pop up that high but it’s very easy to hold the flash at an angle with one finger to bounce the flash.

    Second the 20mm lens cracking bit of kit.

    I got a G3 in the week for £379 with £50 cashback and 3year warranty from Mathers http://www.mathersoflancashire.co.uk/
