Backyard Aquaponics

your buggy has XM Radio??? The wonders of modernsation
Pete

My bicycle has a bongo drum built in and I entertain myself by humming tunes and accompanying myself on the drums. It's a hum-drum lifestyle.

ahhhhhhh the Wii................Ive got a sore arm now coz of that lmao

Do not about the Radio, But in a few weeks I'm going to do 1hr 10-20 min commute to work, I was thinking about borrowing those talking books from the Library.
I haven't read a book in ages only manuals, websites, emails and things like that.

Cheers

lots of audio books available on P2P file sharing networks..............not that i condone illegal sharing of copyrighted material........................

Library is Cheap (Free) and no bandwidth used.

RMIT Uni Bundoora West Campus ( Where I work doing desktop support) has a fairly large collection of talking books and an Applied Science department that is hugely involved in Aquaculture and Plant Biology , If I build it they might help support it, they have a AP system but it is small only 1 tonne (1000l) but they do have a ACulture farm in Lakes entrance. LOL If I get this up and running and get some of the Post Grads involved, I (Opps Post Grads) might get a Goverment research grant to expand.

I have to go to Dial up when I move (Exchange not xDSL enabled ) and not paying through nose for NextG wireless.
This is going to be a shock to the system as I have had Broadband for over 10years.

Ron dont know if you have Internode over there but I was looking at the same probs as you with broadband connections but my ISP (Internode) does a wireless setup 1100$ (approx) for the gear radio receiver, tower) they supply and fit and the plan is the same as I'm on, now 512/128 49.95 per month 20 gig then capped.
I won't lose the company here and will be able to keep on learning

My BIL is able to get satelite broadband and the government covers the set up costs of about $3500. Worth checking out.

Thanks DD, but internde only does selected areas in SA.

Hi Monya, I have tried to find out more about this but very confusing, I think because it is possible to get ISDN connected ( twice the monthly cost of standard line rental and more expensive for all phone calls) I can only get the 1 way Sat system because of this, and then I am locked into either of the 2 main carriers and there extorinate pricing plans.
I am trying to find out but it is tough going and the infomation I find on the net is very confusing.

Yeah, I think that is what nmy BIL is battling his way thru now. Worth fighting for tho if it works in the end

where ya moving to ron? Didn't realise you were so close!

Start moving from the 15/1, From Thomastown to Longwood
Longwood is 16k's south of Euroa 2k's from the Hume

LOL from 5 min drive to work to 1hr 10- 20min drive to work. Thats going to take some getting use to.
5 mins drive to work means about 30 mins to walk I have walked to work quite a few times

Oh dude, just around the corner! until the 15th

why the move so far from work? (don't mind me!)

Well 1/2 acre with house for under $100k, beats paying rent and I felt was an opportunity I couldn't pass up and whats an hour's driving to work. I know plenty of people that take an hour or more to drive into the city for work (traffic congestion) and live in the burbs.

LoL I only have 1 left turn, 1 right turn, 1 left turn then another left turn and I'm in the carpark at work and the car has cruise control. and I only go through 3 sets of traffic lights.

Cheers
Ron

Under $100 grand is certainly a good motivating factor!
