If you’re like me and you’ve been finding this annoying, the following snippet is for you:
var e = CF.extender[0]; var s = e.serial[0]; s.bitrate = 9600; s.databits = 8; s.parity = 0; s.stopbits = 1;
function TUN_FREQ(b,f) {var U=”MHz”; if(b==”AM”){U=”kHz”;}var q = s.match(“0,1,*,PUT,Tuner(Play_Control(Tuning(Band=”+b+”,Freq(Val=”+f+”,Exp=2,Unit=”+U+”)))),*\r
\n”);}

I use this code within a namespace (so there’s …

Having turned into the “family I.T. guy” (and frankly, it doesn’t stop there), I’ve had a great deal of experience with MSDOS, Windows (mostly 3.1 onwards, but 95, 98/SE, NT, NT4, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 2003 Server and 2008 Server), Mac OS 9/X (10.{1,2,3,4,5,6}), a bit with Solaris, and …

And with this carefully crafted integration comes a bunch of new ships, enemies, and, perhaps most importantly, GRAPHICS.
Yes, I picked up Zenith Remnant almost as soon as it came out.  I still haven’t played much AI:War, but I’m seeing progress in their game, and version 3 of the base game …

With all the angry public relations, realistic anti-feed posts, and anti-media, I thought it high time that someone posted the ‘good’ that will come from this clean feed (see the DISCLAIMER at the end).
First, and foremost, security.  It may seem overly optimistic, but [some] people are going to learn to …

So after yesterday’s post I’ve received a fair bit of substantially NEGATIVE feedback.  People have taken it was me dismissing the parenting card, and as me not taking the issue seriously, or just ’stirring it up’.  As a result of this, I’ll take it from another angle.  I’m not actually …

I’ve been reading a lot about people pushing for an R18+ Rating in Australian video games.  I’ve been reading a hell of a lot about “reasons” for it.  I’ll put the …

Having received some help from Mark from GoPronto.co.nz (gopronto) on the RemoteCentral forums (www.remotecentral.com), I’ve now managed to piece together the first script for the Phillips TSU9600/RFX9600 which can drive the Yamaha RXV3900 amplifier.  For those who don’t know, the TSU9600 is a WiFi compliant remote control (with the latest …

I’m sure I’m not alone in having missed it on the welcome e-mail, but I’m even more certain that I’d have taken it in another spirit to that which the AFACT legal team is taking it. By this, I refer to the words ‘Happy Downloading’, which apparently appear at …

Right, so I’ve pretty much stayed quiet on this front, except insofar as mentioning that I need to tighten up security on the network.  That’s pretty much my stance on things, particularly given that bittorrent is used to maintain various things, and that I used to be a fairly avid …

As I sit here awaiting my final exam (and essay) submission for the semester, I have to wonder what is to become of my interest connection once the iiNet case is over.
Here’s the situation. I live near a station, so it’s a relatively high traffic area for people, cars, …
