NZ Earthquake Donations Appeal

Submitted by Hashy on Mon, 06/09/2010 - 13:40

m0rnin,

0k b0tt0m line. Australia has d0ne well t0 weather the bad financial climate 0ver the last s0 many years. 0ur NZ br0thers have n0t been s0 f0rtunate. Yes we have 0ur 0wn pr0blems in Australia right n0w with the fl00ding in Vict0ria, but we are taking care 0f 0ur 0wn just fine. The demands that the aftermath 0f this Earth m0ving event will be putting an extra strain 0n the NZ ec0n0my, and I’m asking all 0f y0u wh0 are able and willing t0 help t0 pr0vide s0me supp0rt t0 0ur br0thers & sisters in New Zealand. The NZ Red Cross has an 0nline d0nati0ns page that y0u can g0t0 and d0nate with either a Credit Card 0r a Direct Deposit.
http://www.redcross.org.nz/cms_display.php?st=1&sn=13&pg=8381

That is ab0ut all we can d0 the help right n0w. Unless 0fc0urse y0u are willing t0 lend y0urselves t0 g0 0ver there and help with the relief eff0rts. I w0uld l0ve t0 d0 this myself, but I d0n0t have any basic training f0r it.

IPX Emergency Contact List versi0n 2

Submitted by Hashy on Sat, 04/09/2010 - 11:14

m0rning,

In light 0f the 7.0-7.2 magnitude Earthquake in Christchurch this m0rning (4:35am, 4:30am is c0nsequently, the average time 0f death in the w0rld… well.. s0 they say..) I am calling f0r updates and revis0ns f0r the Team IPX Contact List which I have started devel0ping.

Emergencies always bring calls f0r changes t0 the way things are d0ne. It is h0w we learn. After 9/11, new buildings were c0nstructed, designed t0 withstand the impact 0f an airliner, and the subsequent fires pr0duced fr0m *cough*burning jet fuel.
After the Black Saturday fires in Victoria, things were re-thought and revised, because n0 system is perfect, and its 0nly when s0mething happens and it d0esnt w0rk quiet as it sh0uld that things are impr0ved. Quiet simply, imaginati0n is needed, and we just can’t imagine everything that is needed bef0re hand.

Mobile Upgrade - Nokia 2310 to Nokia 7230

Submitted by Hashy on Thu, 22/07/2010 - 03:26

m0rnin all,

Finally upgraded my ph0ne. Was using a Nokia 2310 http://www.nokia.com.au/find-products/all-phones/nokia-2310

Am n0w running this, relatively advanced Nokia 7230 http://www.nokia.com.au/find-products/all-phones/nokia-7230/specifications

Slide ph0ne, n0t t0uch screen in case y0u were w0ndering and didn’t read any details. =p

Biggest c0mplaint pr0bably w0uld be RECEPTI0N. I decided t0 stick with V0dkaf0ne, better the z0mbeh c0rp0rati0n 0f death y0u are already familiar with I say (Optus recently screwed me 0ver in regards to a sim card I didn’t activate in time, strike them fr0m my list. Telstra & me have n0t mixed since I was 11 years 0ld.)

Partial Lunar Eclipse Tonight, Starting 8:19pm Sydney Time

Submitted by Hashy on Sat, 26/06/2010 - 03:07

m0rnin all,

There will be a partial lunar eclipse tonight, starting 8:19pm local time, and ending 10:59pm local Sydney time.

http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/24jun_lunarecl...

Full Moon is at 9:30pm Sydney time.

If there is too much cloud in your region during this time, dont fret! You can still observe this phenomenon via simulation!

Both Stellarium & Celestia simulate the eclipses. The moon will be located within the constellation…umm.. the guy with the bow?

http://www.stellarium.org/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/celestia/files/

Windows 7 users note that you may have issues running the latest version of Celestia. If you encounter problems with version 1.6.0, give 1.5.1 a try.
