Offroad skills

Been off to wales for 2 day offroad skills course with BMW. Great course. I think this is the 4th or 5th time I've been. This time i was on the level 2 advanced course.

Video is from a 1080p HD helmet cam (see vholdr.com). Great quality recording. I've encoded it at 512k QT movie, but blogger seems to step the quality down as well, so the playout is a little grainy. Trust me we have this in 16:9 on HD TV playout and it's great.

Bike control and skill not up to much. Watch the video to see why!

Ukplugged....you better believe it!

so we went mac's in the house. We ditched the windows desktop and purchased an imac and macbookpro. In the end i had to upgrade the hub as most things needed "n" bandwidth. I still use a windows PC. That's when the unplugged problems started and why i thought this was a good post to re-kick my blogging! I've struggled with the wireless hub BT sent over. It just keeps dropping the signal and everything just hangs. Annoying but it got serious when our eldest got kicked out of Disney's Club Penguin online game. That spurred me on! I spent an hour with BT on the phone. The solution.....manually set the channel selection to channel 5 on the hub! Why i ask? "its the best one for your configuration". What? why should one channel be more suitable than another, surely the frequency range is not that different that picking up another channel is just about segmenting the airwaves for use. According to BT it's not, so if you have mac's in the house and you want a good connection out of your BT hume Hub 2.0, select channel 5, you know it's best........i suspect this thread might repeat over the next few months, but for the time being, Club penguin gets to the end of it's session without dropping it and its been 5hrs since we set this up without the hub resetting itself!
