Truck me

Finally, my search for a 4×4 is over.





Just got to get it registered, get some sort of a cb radio, tire mount and possibly new tires and I’ll be ready to go bush with my brother. He has had his patrol almost 12 months and I have enjoyed going 4wding with him.

Cool as.

There’s some great 4×4 tracks up where I live in the Yarra Valley.
I crashed my car not long ago.. I’m driving my sisters old little yellow astra’s at the moment.

Keen to get a new one, but i’m poverty sticken.
Remember not to speed - you’ll stand out like the dog’s proverbial. My patrol driving friend has lost hist license twice now.

Long time no fly

It has been bothering me for about two and a half months, that I haven’t flown my helicopter.
For a while I was looking for the right material to repair the skids with but gave up and just used some super glue.

I have tried to do some hovering indoors to see if I could get the hang of the controls but it doesn’t want to hover. It’ll bounce on the floor or it will take off.
I can’t let it take off for obvious reason inside and you learn very little from bouncing.
I fear the next time I fly it I will make it fly a fair way off the ground, zoom around for a little while and crash it spectacular fashion :|

iTunes fun

I was just wondering if there was someone out there with an iPod video that would be willing to do a test for me.
* Find an mp4 file that plays fine on the iPod.
* Rename the file so that it has -.mp4
* Import into iTunes and try to sync your iPod.
I spent a couple of hours transcoding a file and ended up frustrated when it wouldn’t sync. I noticed that no other video I had previously had a - in it so I tried removing it and everything was happy again.
I really can’t believe that this could be a problem in software today and I would love for someone else to confirm this problem (or if it is just my machine).
