A Lovely 10C Site!

The Federal Government is on a buy-a-vote spree. There's an election coming up on July 2 and they've sped up the roll-out of their idea of a National Broadband Network, Fibre-To-The-Node. The length of telephone cable between my dwelling & that node is used ADSL-style to provide PSTN & Broadband (or as we call it out here, Fraudband) and unlike some is barely 160 metres in length, so I'll be less-affected by signal loss over the non-fibre section.

I'm informed that the changeover date ftom ADSL 2+ to NBN will be this coming Friday and I can expect a few hours without internet as I'm switched from one service to the other. No wirk is needed on the existing copper cable out from the node. All existing ADSL equipment in my home will still be used so there's likely to be little disruption.
For that period of no wired internet I'll still gave a goodly proportion of the 5.5 GB mobile connection which can be shared if needed.

Crazy. Yesterday I visited my carrier/ISP's local shop to discuss changing my mobile data plan. Turns out that this month they have a 3 GB bonus for anyone who upgrades or takes out a new plan. So I upgraded from a plan that gave me 1.5 GB of data per month to one with 2.5 GB & is $5 per month cheaper. I still have 8 days remaining of the old contract, so they've transferred the old contract period to the new contract data plan.

This means that factoring in the 3 GB bonus, I have 8 days to use 5.5 GB of mobile data before the next 2.5 GB month commences.

"But," not "nut."

Bloody ottokorrupt!

Prior to having had a shoulder operation a couple of hours ago, one of my brothers worked in a spice mixing factory & has given me large amounts of various wet & dry mixes. Breakfast this morning was a 2-egg omelette with a tablespoon of their tomato, onion and bacon* sprinkle mixed into the eggs.

*not bacon nut bacon-flavoured textured vegetable protein.

It was magnificent.

New post unresponsive on the iPad Mini using Cappuccino. All OK with puck , etc on the iPhone SE.

@matigo It asks for a username but I had tunnel vision & it never registered that it specified the email address.

@matigo It was asking for a username, that's why I kept providing it. But it kept failing several times over several hours. Changed to the email address: instant success.

@matigo I have just been able to log back into Cappuccino, the username method didn't work but the email address did.

2008 MBP says "replace battery now." Bulltish, I say. It's had 3 charge cycles & its holding it maximum charge level. This is a new battery. The old battery that's got just over half the amps of the new one and lasts for about an hour (the new one goes for at least four hours) is regarded by the system as "normal" condition.

Nope, not replacing a perfectly fine battery.

Eventually got back into Crappuccino. Had to use my email address instead of the username.
