Berwick Show – Well done Wendy and David

Berwick Show – Well done Wendy and David

Well, the Berwick show is over for another year.  Wendy (http://www.facebook.com/wendy.pearce.77/posts/552394071452320) did pretty well but I have to say that David (http://www.facebook.com/wendy.pearce.77/posts/552392824785778) took it away with two Best Exhibit ribbons.  Well done to the pair of you.  Maybe I will get off my butt and put in some photo’s next year.

David’s Gone Electric

David’s Gone Electric

David and I have been talking about this for a while and, due to the fact that he actually practiced during the Christmas holidays, David is now the proud owner of an SX Electric Guitar and Amp.  It is a black Stratocaster (I think) replica. He took it to his lesson on Tuesday but his teacher did not have an amp setup in the music room so he couldn’t play it.  They have agreed to alternate, one week acoustic one week electric and he…

My Mirage – First Impressions

My Mirage – First Impressions

I recently wrote this up for a Mirage owners site I found.  I thought I would put the content here as well: Ok, some background and then my first impressions of my new LS CVT. I am coming from a Peugeot 206 Auto. The Peugeot was getting too expensive to maintain and most of my driving is from home to the train station so I wanted something small, economical and cheap to maintain. I also have a Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L…

Busy Weekend

Busy Weekend

Wow, we have just finished an incredibly busy weekend.  It is almost good to be at work to have a rest today. It all started off with an 8am start on Saturday morning.  I mean, other than for skiing who starts early on Saturday?  We were down at the new local ALDI at 8.30am (ok, we slept in) to start setting up for a barbeque for the day.  Wendy had the joyful task of organising a fundraising bbq for the…

New Car….

New Car….

Well, the Peugeot finally got on my nerves due to the air-con failing and summer being in excess of 30 degrees Celsius so I got off my butt and made a decision for a new car.  This is a case of buying with my head, not my heart.  I still think my new car, when it is delivered, only has half an engine at 1.2L and three cylinders.   This is the new Mitsubishi Mirage.

Telstra 4G – Faster than my ADSL

Telstra 4G – Faster than my ADSL

I recently got a Telstra 4G device to allow internet/email/intranet access to work when I am on my clients site.  This device is worth all of the hassles to get it set up.  The performance is far superior to my ADSL connection at home, at least when I am in a 4G zone.

PC – The Inside

PC – The Inside

This is the interior of the new machine I put together.  It is the first time I have had to deal with CPU coolers and I have to say the cooler on this system is huge, which means it runs about 20 degrees cooler than the stock cooler.  The case has hot swap bays and also screwless drive bays so plenty of room to expand.  Even with a modular power supply there is still a lot of cables to route,…

Cranbourne Bulls Break Their Losing Streak

Cranbourne Bulls Break Their Losing Streak

Yesterday, despite playing the entire match one player down, the Cranbourne Bulls managed to end their current losing streak defeating the Berwick Thunder 2 team 9 – 4. The primary scorer for the Bulls was Gungeet with three baskets and a penalty shot. Second scorer was Anmal with a high pressure shot in the second half. The score was 5 – 4 at half time, and although the Thunder probed hard the Bulls managed to maintain a strong defence lead…

Yellow Sub

Now that I have a decent PC, I have started playing with Blender again.  Blender is a tool that allows you to create 3D objects and manipulate them.  This is the first video I have done based on one of the tutorials I found: [video-player]
