wireless is back

wireless on

On Thursday I mentioned that my Time Capsule stopped working. I was unable to power it on at all. Today I visited Apple Store, and they replaced the Time Capsule for me, even though it was out of warranty already.

Thank you Apple! Great service.

disgraceful parents

kids used by their parents

Well, without a doubt, almost anything involving a kid (or even worse, kids) would get the attention. An ordinary issue or accident would suddenly become a state-wide headline once a child is involved. Even if a school kid run on the street and heading towards a car, but the driver of the car would get blame. Not the kid.

Today's parents certainly know how to use kids to get attention.

my wireless stops working

wireless

For some unknown reason, my in-house wireless network stopped working suddenly. Well, it turns out that one of the wireless routers stopped working for unknown reason. Good to know that my ADSL internet connection is not down, so was my network storage can still be accessed.

For the time being I put the old (backup) wireless router in place of the non-functioning one. I will check the warranty options to see if I can get the wireless router replaced. If not, I will get a new replacement.

It is always good to have backup devices. For example if my ADSL internet is down, I can still connect to the net via mobile broadband.

Unlike Don, I don't have superfast internet connection or very reliable network connection here.

evil flies and very very hot weather.

evil fly

Those who never experience the huge amount of flies would never understand why flies are so annoying.

As I mentioned on Monday, the house was attacked by a huge amount of flies. The next day, scorching temperature in Sydney... my thermometer showed that it was 37.1°C (98.8°F) outside. Lucky that I bought a small portable aircon ((Omega Altise Reverse Cycle Portable Air Conditioner APC12RC) this February. It really helped.

attacked by flies

The weather suddenly turns very humid and hot today, and the house was attacked by a huge number of flies.

They were a bit too many this time. I resorted to the powerful weapon - Mortein Energy Ball Fly Killer.

Mortein Energy Ball

At least 30+ flies were killed in one night, I lost count after killing 20 flies.

Laurent was quite surprised about the number of flies presented in the house.

7two and censorship

Channel 7Two was launched today at midday, with a very good program to kick start the station - Michael Jackson's last televised concert. What a brilliant idea. Thank you Channel 7Two.

The artist decided to uncover the bather off this sculpture in the protest of censorship in arts.
