You can set up a second one as a repeater if you really feel like you need to but I'd personally only consider it if I was getting fairly unusable connections. Have a look at this and see what you reckon: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/doityours...eless-range/141

I wouldn't focus on the number of bars you're getting. That only relates to signal strength and may not be an accurate indicator of speed (although poor signal quality can have a flow-on effect on speed but that is not to say they are always the same thing). Try www.speedtest.net and see if you're getting speeds like you might expect.

At the moment I'm getting 7Mbps via WLAN in the bedroom, is that good / average / hohum ?
Seems to be chugging along nicely playing a show on ABC's iView - Thanks for that article, Bum, that will be plan B.
 
I'd be happy enough with 7Mbps but your needs might be different to mine. If video is streaming okay then I'd be tempted to leave things as they are but different strokes for different blokes and all that.
 
according to the old man I saw at the pub, hypercolour t-shirts are back in...

You're welcome everyone....
 
The missus just came outside because she heard me (with no doubt real anguish and concern in my voice) saying "Ohhh, noooo. Ohhhhh!!!!"

The look I got when describing that my keg of pils had just blown dry was priceless.
 
Picked up a 70L Sonex stock pot for sixty clams of e bay. Brand new.
With dimensions of 58cm x 31cm (H), it would best be described as 'over-square' in engine building parlance.
I think I shall make it my new kettle, turn my keg into a mash tun and retire my long suffering esky to it's more traditional role as garage clutter / porn storage.

He's still got a 50L job if anyone's interested.

Possibly my worst lunch ever.
Can of cold old el paso beans with chilli out of the tin and plain brown bread.
Flavourless. Gluggy, bugger all chilli and no lime or lemon to liven it up.
Very dissapointing.
 
Have you noticed that Indian restaurants are run by Indians (or more likely Bangladeshis), Chinese by Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese Restaurants are absolutely rotten with Thais and vietnamese, but I've yet to see a so called Mexican restaurant staffed by Mexicans. I refer to the Taco Den sort of places that are always in the same strip as the other "ethnic" restaurants.

I had the worst meal ever on Wednesday night. Gami around the corner from Deja Vu. Holy shit, it was disgusting. How can a Korean fried-chicken place be bad? That doesn't even make any sense.

Has great reviews online. Do not ever trust online restaurant reviews. How these people ever found a restaurant outside of a food court I will never know.

Working briskly with hot oil, wok's, sharp knives and tandoors takes a measure of manual dexterity and skill. Most likley traditional.

Slopping mince into a tortilla or taco shell and applying sauce from a squeeze bottle could be mastered by Steady Eddie.

Ever wonder why Mc Donald's never has a 'stir fry' promotion? That's a litigation nightmare for Ronald right there.


Anyway.

How much differance a word can make
Beans or
Refried beans.

I had a can of refried beans. Actually only 3/4 of a can. I couldnt finish it.

Thx for the heafs up bum re gami.
 
Bought a laser printer at the start of the year. Brother HL2242D being used on a mac.

Just discovered that when choosing 'double print', I don't seem to have the option to specify a page range (only 'all', 'odd', or 'even' pages). Not very useful when all I want is to print off pages 21 and 22 of an entire document.

I'm sure there is a way, but I can't work it out and I'm exhausted and on the verge of just not giving a single milligram of **** about it.

I've got a Brother HL-2150N. Been going strong for over a year and a half. You can fit an entire ream in the tray. ******* convenient.
It emits the odor of burning plastic if you print anything over about half a dozen pages, though seems happy to do so.
I peeled off 73 pages of detail sheets the other day and the paper was almost to hot to touch.

So here we are.
Telling stories about printers.
How cool is that.

See? Who needs a blog-type function?

Mine is generally convenient, but today has been a pus-ridden baboons **** of a thing.

Try downloading the latest drivers. Options may change.
 
Cheers Mike, I did try that...but alas. This is a fairly no frills contraption. I am now well on my way to being drunk so things aren't as hectic.
 
Bought a Brother printer? My commiserations.

Paper jam paper jam paper jam beep beep flash flash



there's no paper in the fecking thing. :angry:
 
So, I've got a niece staying this weekend and we're watching some telly. Big Babbies, specifically.

At the risk of being called a delicate princess, I'm not sure the word "shit" should be dropped at 9:30am on ABC3.
 
ABC3 is a specific kids channel?? Standard of the media nowadays what else do you expect.

Hey, note to self:

When starting a self clipper cut, make sure the Number 3/4/5 etc. comb is fitted to the clippers BEFORE applying to one's scalp.

I'll have to run over the whole lot with #1 now and join the Tidal Pete and Starkesbier impersonation society. :p
