PhoneGnome - VoIP / POTS integration

Hmmm, now that I have replaced SBC DSL with FREE WIFI - thanks to MetroFi - I wonder if I can now replace SBC long distance with VoIP over my FREE WIFI!?

Cantenna Magic

I can recommend this site for your Cantenna Design needs...
I just made my Cantenna from a Medaglia D'Oro can (Espresso, full-caf).

Followed the instructions and it's tripled my signal strength.

Only strange thing it the amount of time it takes my wireless bridge (Linksys WET11) to aquire any signal from the MetroFi access point.

Olympic Drug Tests for the Snowboarding Team

Definition of Oxymoron surely! How can you get on the snowboarding team if you're not on pot?

Need a more dangerous power tool?

I thought my Angle Grinder was pretty dangerous for a software engineer to be using. But what, I thought at the weekend, could threaten my life more?

Then it came to me. Chainsaw on a Stick.

Pole Saw in Action

Good, but for extra thrill value, stand on a ladder under a tree and cut bits off that are over your head.

So I did. That was pretty much my weekend. Boy, I'm tired today. Has to be said, Chainsaw on a Stick gets heavy after a while.

No, that's not me in the picture. I didn't have a silly white safety hat to worry about. Hard to believe I'm still alive.

Stop trying to use my contact form to relay SPAM you fuckwits

As far as I can tell it's not working, but if anyone can tell me different ... I'd like to know. All I know is, it's fucking annoying to receive shit like the following on my cellphone. It's not like it's even real SPAM - as far as I can tell the following AOL 'customers' are just fishing for holes in my server.
