Sunbeam TI and the Sunbeam Lotus for a different hatch that goes for silly money. But what guts me is the price of a Ford Capri 3.0S nowadays, I regret selling mine still.

Ringing no probs at all it’s 75-80V AC, you’ll feel it if you hold the line and have an incoming call.

As an apprentice for a v/large telecoms outfit (early 80’s) when I was doing my stint on exchange construction I was in a large Strowger (yes those clicking uni-selectors etc) telephone exchange. The equipment racks were 10-12ft tall with ladders you could slide along the rows to get access to the equipment. Above those were all the cables connecting everything with nothing ever recovered so you had 40-50 years worth of copper cabling as well as the bus bars (inches thick 50V DC power)Anyhows engineers in the know after the usual liquid lunch would go up above the racks into the cabling where there had been ‘nests’ cunningly created and handed down from generation to generation, that if you went up to the top of the ladders and peeked above the cabling and bus bars all you could see would be a sea of cables and not someone sleeping off a few pints from the Horse n Jockey. As an apprentice you were spry enough to be sent scurrying up into the cabling hunting down the miscreants by the manager in charge of the project and thereby cunningly inducted into the knowledge of the locations of the nests.

I work in telecoms and have interviewed and employed lots of ex-forces, have to say that the RAF Satcomms type people have more transferable skills to telecoms over the Signals. Signals I would suggest have better IT skills, all the people I saw could set up PC’s/Servers/LAN’s etc.. Whereas the RAF people had better telecoms, remote management type skills.

Good spot thank you!

How about a cat with a laser beam on its head

Yes already ordered got a portable battery powered D-Star/C4FM/DMR hotspot project in mind

Burleighs is also worth a try

From the command line >>

Exiftool is a set of binary files that can be downloaded from:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

On a Mac I wrap the following line in a .sh (shell) script but can easily be done in a .BAT file for windows.
exiftool “-FileName<CreateDate” -d “%Y_%B_%d_%H_%M_%S.jpg” *.jpg

When this is run on any folder containing .jpg’s it will change the file name from:
IMG_0087.jpg to 2014_October_14_10_09_57.jpg

effectively renaming it to the second it was taken.

To shift by 5 hours and 30 mins it would be >>

exiftool “-DateTimeOriginal+=0:0:0 5:30:0” filename.jpg

A negative shift by one day would be >>

exiftool “-DateTimeOriginal-=0:1:0 0:0:0” filename.jpg

Late 70’s for me, started off with CESIL which was supposedly designed to introduce you to assembly which somehow it did as I then quite enjoyed 6502 on the KIM board, along with it on the UK101 and the Atom.

Telecoms here, spent the past few years working in such sites, again various levels of vetting and clearances along with industry specific and site specific training/certs to cover events that could happen at such sites.

Well I’ve ended up with two Worldpay receipts and one entry confirmation. So I’ll wait for the dust to settle and see tomorrow if I’ve now got a spare or paid for someone else’s as well.

At one point I ended up with a basket with about 7 random people in it. Tried again (lots) and have now managed to get as far as a Worldpay receipt.

I’m on my 3rd Lexus hybrid, the electric motor does deliver a lot of torque in areas where the petrol motor is weak so it will be a different power curve than you are used to. It will take a while for your driving style to adapt to best use the system, get up to speed really quickly then coast on the electric for as long as possible, theres a lot less engine braking so you roll a lot longer when you lift your foot off the pedal, but its charging the battery so again you start to factor it into your driving.

Brake pads/discs last absolutely ages as when you first brake it’ll use regen braking before using the pads/discs as a last resort. My Gs450h which had 340bhp didn’t need its pads changing until 47000 miles.

The current IS300h gets about 47mpg unless I stick it in sport and have some fun in which case it gets down to about 38mpg.

Read up on Inverse Square Law and then also factor in that a mobile phone will up its transmit power when the mast signals to the mobile phone that its signal strength is too low.

So having a mast nearer to you will result in a lower power output for the radio transmitting device that’s closest to your body pumping out those scary waves.

Also the antenna within the mast are usually directional rather than omnidirectional so standing under it or close to it will result in you being outside of the optimum beam path from them anyway.

Les Tabernacle he only does the Foundation training now I think, but he makes it fun and a good laugh.

doh was going to say run Powertop but if its showing lots of wakeups then Eventstat will dump out what’s causing them

Heineken Experience a museum and beer all in one.

If it had been invented here it would have probably been called a stop cock

2014 rMBP updated when it came out no problems at all.

John your new DLSR is a lot more efficient with battery use compared to anything compact/mirrorless, you should be able to go 400-600+ photos depending on flash usage, why not see how you go before splashing out on a spare and instead save your beer tokens for one of the cheap and good prime lenses that will fit your camera like the 24mm, 35mm or 50mm.

Disk Inventory X run it and it’ll give you a complete listing of your HD sorted by largest files/directories, you can then easily drill down it and see what’s taking up the space.

A magnetic HF loop antenna for portable work, well get to the top of a hill/mountain and see where I can get

There’s just something about an old transceiver, I still lust after a FT757GX which was the mutts back when I passed back in ’85.

Congrats, are you going to put it to some use with some homebrew or additional power?

I’m currently waiting on the delivery of a magnetic loop to have something semi decent to go portable with on my FT-817 also started dabbling on DMR.

First time I’ve seen ham radio mentioned on here (GW1RVC) I just use whatever my BBC weather app on my phone says if anyone asks and rely on the barometer on my Garmin Fenix for my pathetic attempts at forecasting.

My grandfather was the youngest out of 13 siblings so he missed it, but I will always remember going to meet my great uncle Wydd in a nursing home with him wheezing away in an oxygen mask, his lungs wrecked due to being gassed in the trenches,lovely fella wish I had chance to see more than a glimpse of him, I didn’t understand why at the time, took me quite a while to learn and understand why.

The clubs were screwing a lot of people, look at the published crowd stats for matches vs pictures of the grounds for those same games, people jammed in but somehow low crowd figures and of course plus low wages for all the staff incl the players.

Have to say working on the 3 points for a win made a huge difference but he is credited with so much more

Shadow of the Beast on the Amiga, came with the 500 when I got it, dammed dammed hard

I’ve got Amiga Forever on my PC http://www.amigaforever.com/ for when I fancy a game of Powermonger or Populous

If it connects to the BT modem then starters for ten on a VDSL2 connection is:

Encapsulation: PPPoE
Authentication: Auto to start with along with your username and password

Then possibly VLAN tagging with the VLAN set to 101 on the WAN interface

Lets start from the beginning I think. How does your Sky router connect to the phone line?

Is it direct cable from the Sky router to the phone socket or is there a box of tricks aka a BT Openreach FTTC modem between your Sky router and the phone line socket?

Hmmm, Sky Fibre as in BT FTTC where your Sky router is plugged into a phone socket or fibre as in BT have dragged some optical fibre into your house (FTTP) where BT installed a box with flashing lights on the wall and the Sky router plugs into that.

If it’s the former then you haven’t a hope in hell of getting it to work directly with your router UNLESS it’s the X4S model you have bought not the X4 as stated? The one with the integrated ADSL/VDSL/VDSL2 modem?

The instructions you have no doubt assume that your router is connecting to a modem and not another router, if that was the case the internet setup with username and password would be appropriate.

However your setup will look like this >>

Netgear (WAN) –Ethernet–(LAN) Sky Fibre Router (WAN) — RJ11 — Phone Line

Have a look at this for some tips >>

Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, so so funny

Gloves, hmm the tiniest scraps for the palm holding the fingers/thumb onto your hands, so you had vastly better feel control of your stick and you could quickly pop your hand out for some roughing without dropping your gloves. 2nd/3rd line centre man.

I used to work at a rink and play ice hockey too, agree with the kit room comments.

Wouldn’t worry just normal sports socks, you’ll not suffer from blisters with the correct fit and your feet wont get cold unless you have the laces too tight.
