  1. Looking good Bros! Nothing like a nice new track to test the riders. Really looking forward to Sunday. Going to be a good days racing.
  2. Stuff'em. I just upgraded to 10Mb...
  3. I have been reduced to unplugging LAN cables at night just to that I can stream without buffering.... Line speeds seem to drop drastically at night in out area for some reason. I am busy looking at changing my ADSL package. Telkoms 8Gb line with a 100Gb soft cap is looking good at the moment... Comes out at about R874/month including voice
  4. Damn you Ed..... now I have another project on the list..... Argie 15 with a nice little sneaker on it.....
  5. Thanks Ed! Did you buy the plans and mark out everything yourself or did you spring for the paper templates? Looks like a lot of fun and must be very rewarding and satisfying when you launch it for the first time!!
  6. Looks really great Ed! Where did you get the plans from? Was chatting to a mate the other day about a small boat for two adults and two kids so that we can put around the dam in search of behemoth bass... less than 15hp you don't need a skippers either... Obviously I'm talking motor not sailing here
  7. So the LTE bits are getting handed back to Telkom today... After waiting for somebody to call me about the installation of the antenna, I ended up doing it myself. Logged on to the router to check signal strength etc and according to Google I am sitting in the "Good" range. HOWEVER..... the download speeds were nowhere near what was quoted. Best I saw was 15Mbs out of a claimed 90Mbs and it mostly sat at around the 4-7Mbs mark and the latency was a joke You should see the look on a young gamers face when the speed test returns a ping of 879ms... Had a chat to a Telkom tech who was looking at my faulty telephone line and he reckons I am wasting my time with LTE at my address. The signal in that area is cr@p. Chatted to the consultant that signed me up and she said no problem. Bring the stuff back and they will log a case and get the contract cancelled due to lack of service. Looks like I am going to have to persevere with my ADSL for a while until the fibre is available
  8. A friend of mine once told me this: "Once you have made your purchase, stop shopping." It's bound to happen Stretch. You got the best deal that you could at the time you were ready to buy Still cheaper than that M-net subscription that you are going to cancel/have cancelled now that you have access to all that internet TV...
  9. Can ride a bike for sure. As long as he doesn't have to talk.....
  10. Is hardboard and MDF the same as Supawood?
  11. Good to hear! Just a question for the tech gurus, does the streaming side of Kodi fall under video streaming like Netflix or does it fall under Peer to Peer data transfer like Torrent downloads ...?
  12. Canceled it today [emoji106] Nothing like crap service to help you find what you need.
  13. It only loads sometimes....
  14. Damn, you should be able to like that twice!
  15. Thanks anything is better than the 0.4Mb I'm currently getting on my 4Mb line....
  16. Just finished S01E3 of Orange is the new black. This is hilarious!!
  17. Is anybody using Telkom Uncapped LTE? Having endless *** with my ADSL line so I signed up for the LTE deal today. R799 a month uncapped. 90Mbs download and 25Mbs upload. 50Gb cap on P2P and Newsgroups.
  18. Thanks for that. http://www.drummondsflooring.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Bowden1-550x550.gif
  19. I just clicked the link.... We have been looking for a machine for work for a while and this looks like a viable option based on their rental rates. I have left a message for a sales rep to contact me so we will see what happens. Have you or are you dealing with them and if so how's their service?
  20. Moka was my next purchase after the French Press. I still prefer my Aeropress though. With a side by side comparison using the same beans, you seem to get a rounder more flavour filled extraction from an Aeropress IMHO. Both do pretty much the same thing. The Moka boils water in the bottom chamber and forces it through the basket in the middle and collects the extracted coffee in the top.
  21. Elephant memory.... I can only retain the info if it interests me though I remembered the 2 3/8" and was pretty sure it was in yhis thread so I started at the end and work backwards. They had 2 there. Shout if you want them. Can go back on Monday and we can work out the postage if you don't come right with getting them to post to you. Postnet is around R100
  22. So I was walking through Wardkiss in Sydney Road to today at lunchtime and look what I found:
  23. Looks like Getflix is a winner
