Unmetered iView Access Expanded To Universities
October 1st, 2009 at 5:41 PMJust tested it, for anyone living on the University of Canberra campus it IS still counted against your Accesplus useage, even though the iView website “meterometer” swings to the “unmetered” side. Emailing them now asking if they intend to make it unmetered.
Unmetered iView Access Expanded To Universities
October 1st, 2009 at 5:17 PMAs someone living on campus this IS exciting, especially with the extortion-priced internet access.

September 30th, 2009 at 12:25 PMThe common room in my apartment complex got foxtel installed, I thought i’d go check it out.

How To Deal With Fussy Eaters
September 9th, 2009 at 6:18 PM“Got your own tactics for ditching KFC in favour of kale? Share them in the comments.”
Do what my parents did, and make all fast food a once-every-six-months-if-lucky thing. Kids can buy their own fast food when they get their own money. Even making it a “treat” food is a disaster because it elevates it above other foods.
Everything fast food can be made at home, much tastier & healthier and your kids will value the process of food then.
ABC Wants iView Carried For Free On The NBN
September 8th, 2009 at 10:14 PMIt’s unreasonable to expect completely unmetered internet for a while, but 100% unmetered data within Australia *should* be one of the aims for the NBN, it will help it deliver advancements MUCH faster that way.
Why Too Much Hand Sanitiser Is A Bad Idea
September 1st, 2009 at 2:33 PMNot to mention our obsession with sterilizing everything and using antibactiral everything is a) Making our immune systems weaker b) Encouraging higher levels of allergies in our kids and c) Helping breed superbugs.
Vodafone 3G Now Covers 94% Of Australia
August 31st, 2009 at 12:46 PMIn Canberra, have 3G pretty much everywhere. Terrible reception in my apartment though but I assume that’s just the building.
Curiously I think my area is upgraded to Edge… but often see i’m connected via GPRS only though. The “E” symbol comes up perhaps once a month.
Let The ACCC Know What You Think About Postage Increases
August 24th, 2009 at 8:34 PMNope, it’s a fair enough move their costs have risen significantly with more places to deliver to from new housing development and less people actually sending letters due to email.
Your Lights Are On! Sends SMS To Save Your Car Battery
August 18th, 2009 at 11:03 PMOr you can just drive a Subaru where the headlights turn off automatically when you turn the car off, and ther is a switch on top of the steering column to force them on if you need them…
Why this isn’t a standard feature, I have no idea – Subaru have been doing it on every car since the 80s.
How To Handle Kitchen Thieves
August 7th, 2009 at 4:24 PMMy girlfriend keeps getting her salmon stolen from the communal fridge. I told her to hit it up with some purple food dye.
Ain’t nobody going to steal purple salmon.
Google Chrome To Get Cloud-Based Synchronisation
August 4th, 2009 at 6:30 PMFinally, I’ve been waiting for bookmark sync to google.com/bookmarks for ages.
Should have come much earlier.
Does It Matter If The Price Of Stamps Rises?
July 24th, 2009 at 11:53 PMExcept inflation is at a 10-year low at the moment, under 2% and tipped to drop even lower.
Why don’t you actually check your facts or even know what you’re talking about before posting?
WhatsOpen Hunts Down Files That Won't Let You Eject A Volume
July 24th, 2009 at 11:20 AMIn Windows, I just disable write caching on the drive so I can yank it out whenever I want. Clearly you have to wait for it to stop writing but I’ve never lost data.
Take 18 Minutes To Keep Your Days On Track
July 24th, 2009 at 11:16 AMIt’s easier to get *exactly* what you want down on paper, while word documents, even with the aid of a stylus kind-of miss the mark.
I still take all my lecture notes down on paper even thought I have a netbook that I could do it on, because I like to link concepts together and it’s difficult to do on a computer quickly.
Who Are The 4.5 Million Windows Live Messenger Users?
July 21st, 2009 at 4:14 PMI also find all the third-party MSN clients have terrible half-baked interfaces, Windows Live might not be the greatest client but it’s solid enough.
Telstra Ups Fees For Bill Payment
July 21st, 2009 at 3:51 PMAs a private company, Telstra, like the banks can do whatever they want or can get away with. They owe consumers exactly nothing.
Who Are The 4.5 Million Windows Live Messenger Users?
July 21st, 2009 at 3:44 PMBecause everyone else uses it.
End. Of. Story.
Drive Yourself To Distraction To Make Exercise Fun
July 19th, 2009 at 4:59 PMpk, way to miss the point. Not everyone wants to be an iron man or a bodybuilder. To simply write off this effective method of making exercise happen is completely stupid.
Internode NodeLine Is Cheap But Strange
July 15th, 2009 at 7:57 PMThis is less about providing a great phone service and more about extending the Internode brand in to traditional telephony and by extension, the world of the non-internet people.
I see it as a part of a long-term plan to grow the Internode brand by providing the complete service, not just the internet. (and voip, as the article points out, makes some people nervous for some reason. baby steps!)
Laptop Connect Rents 3G Broadband Access
June 7th, 2009 at 1:32 PMWell Rudd has already given this a bit of attention, in the NBN. Genius move that was.
Nothing however, will change where we are in the world, it’s hard to link to the rest of the place.
