Advisory: This is where I wax lyrical about pretty much anything I find of interest. Sometimes industry observations, othertimes anecdotes about my family. In essence this is the spot where I jot down notes on things that I find informative, noteworthy or amusing. If you do as well, I’m humbled & grateful for you stopping by.

New House Update

So, we’ve accepted an offer on our current house (cooling off period ends tomorrow), and they’ve cleared the block and laid the framework for the slab for our new house. New photos have been put in the new house photo album on flickr.

Regards,
Shane.

New Photos - Christmas and the building of our New House 

Christmas 2006 was lots of fun… we started out at home finding Santa had eaten most of the biscuit we left and drank all of the glass of milk. Lots of presents later we headed to Nanna & Nono’s house where more presents appeared. Later that evening we got to Gran & Grandad’s where, you guessed it… more presents appeared. Lots of fun!

We’re also building a new house… the first photos of the bare block are also available to see… I’ll post more as the building progresses.

See the house photos on flickr, and the Kids Photos on flickr.

Thanks,
Shane.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas BulbsI just wanted to take the opportunity and say Merry Christmas from my family to you and yours. I hope you get to spend some stress-free and relaxing times with your family and friends, and that 2007 is better and brighter than 2006.

Take care,
Shane (and Samantha, Imogen & Bianca).

Happy Birthday Imogen

My eldest daughter Imogen turned 5 today.

Whilst her party will be this weekend with her friends (she’s chosen to go to Putt Putt Golf), she did wake up a happy girl to find a brand new bike waiting for her downstairs.

Gran & Grandad also dropped by last weekend to give her a swing for her favourite doll (Bella) which she hasn’t stopped playing with.

Photos for Imogen’s birthday celebrations can be seen at our Flickr site.

You are a princess Imogen, and no child could make their parents as proud as you have.

Regards,
Shane.

HP Photosmart C6180 on Mac OSX

I picked up a new HP Photosmart C6180 printer today - nice printer with auto sheet feeding scanner and copier, as well as inbuilt fax. It also looks nice too. Problem is the Mac driver in the box...

iPAQ using Motorola V3x as Bluetooth 3G modem

So I have a HP iPAQ rw6828 (using a work provided Vodafone AU SIM), as well as a Motorola V3x mobile (using my own H3G or "Three" USIM).

Work have removed GPRS access on my Vodafone SIM at my request due to the ridiculous costs involved, so I thought I'd see if I could get my V3x working as a 3G modem with it over Bluetooth. It's important to note that you need to have Mobile Broadband enabled on your 3 account.

Note: For the gadget/technically minded, this sounds easy (and it is if you use almost any phone from Sony Ericsson instead of the V3x), however no matter what I tried, with H3G's limited help (they only support Windows XP) I couldn't get it going.

Well now I've solved it, and here are the steps.

DVD to Windows Media Video Conversion

So this is a little different from my usual posts here, but I thought it might be worthwhile to some people.

This is my guide on converting DVD Films and Videos to Microsoft's Windows Media format (WMV).
