I needed to get some suspension work done on my bike, the Suzuki 250F across has done 50,000kms and was well due for a new kit in the front shocks.
I was about to get this done at my local service place along with the big engine service, when I happened upon a professional suspension place, and Izzy told me he would be happy to do a special deal.
While getting serviced, the forks went down to suspensions-r-us where the kit was put in and the springs replaced. All tuned up for me, customised and done right.
I now have “the best suspension for a 250 Suzuki in Victoria” and how can I argue, it is wonderful to ride, pulls up great, turns effortlessly and rides over those nasty speed bumps unnoticed.
Thanks Izzy.

We recently got some iPhones around in our office and the app collection ensued. With some hunting and collecting we finally have some good suggestions. We are located in Australia, so some of these are particularly localised, even down to our area of Melbourne, but we hope you enjoy…

I mentioned the other day about the new MythTV software, all it’s glories and wonderful new features. I am still happy with it, more now than before as I test it further, find it’s features, but also struggle with some issues.
The big thing is the ability to decode digital television signals and turn them into a picture or recording. This is done with set-top-boxes, digital DVD recorders, Tivo, Foxtel IQ’s and everything in that line. The limitation is always that you want to watch one and record another, and for this you would need two decoders.

You may have seen previously that I have been running MythTV as a service at home, it’s like a home-brew version of a Tivo, but it has been around much longer and it has many improved features. Best yet, it’s open-source and flexible.
Seriously, with a decent PC attached to a TV and a Digital Decoder Card it will provide you with digital TV viewing, recording and many other multi-media features.
But is it that simple?

I have been back on the bus this last week while my bike is in for some various repairs, more on that soon. One thing I have noticed though is the sticky bus floors, spilt soft drink left under the seat and very quick to grab your foot and hold it to the floor. There has been no avoiding it, near the driver or up the back, everywhere… Today soon after 7am you would expect some level of cleanliness, a quick mop over these easy-clean vinyl floors would be the least they could do but alas, the government vows not to change the ticket prices until next years election which will surely just be a reason to tighten any budget further and limit cleaning and maitenance even further. Ironically is that during this freeze period they are to release the new miki or myki system which , no doubt will bring pricing variations, the promise must already be null and void or will the new system stll be another two years away? Public Transport sucks because pollies don’t, won’t but should be required to use it.
