Cases, mounts and cable.

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

The case finally arrived late in the afternoon, which was a tad annoying as could have gone out and done something if it had arrived earlier The mount for my IC-706 arrived though which was cool so can stick that in the Van properly now and get comfy rather than having it shoved on the [...]

Websites and how people decide

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Spent most of today trying to find out what a client actually wants from a website.. Fiddled with a PC then had a meeting with another about the installation of an email server. Finally ended up back at the first client sorting out an order for a server and some new PC’s (as one of [...]

Monday, January 28th, 2008

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

My old Icom Handie

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

So I have this cool Tri-band Icom Handie that I got free when I bought my IC-706 many years ago.. And sadly it has started to go wrong, well gone wrong completely.. A couple of months back I ended up replacing the speaker after it gave up the ghost.. But this time even after a [...]

Screwfix – Local or Internet?

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

Last night I found out I needed some more RJ45 connectors and seeing as how I use them all the time I thought I would order up a couple hundred along with a nice shiny set of screwdrivers (my old ones are all beaten up). So I decided to order them from the net as [...]
