You have found our Blog

I have a nephew Paul and his wife Sylvia coming over from England to Australia for a holiday in January of next year. It's a holiday of a lifetime was the way Paul put it, he also asked me what a Blog was. I explained and told him how to get onto ours. If you are reading this Paul you have found it.

We are not alone

Anyone from Hertford UK reading this post and seeing this picture will recognize it as the Shire Hall in town. They perhaps will also know that there is a live webcam on a building opposite, The building is the furniture shop of Marshalls . The camera faces west toward Parliament Square . I visited the Discover Hertford website this morning, the time here was around 11 o,clock so the time there 2 or 3 o,clock in the morning. You are watching the pictures on camera in real time. A lonely figure walked down the road in a westerly direction Unknowing and why should they need to know that they where being watched by someone on the other side of the world. As you may know if you have read my blog that I originally come from the Hertford area, I might have even known that lonely sole. You never know who is watching you at any time of the day or night. If you are being watched, it might even be someone you know.Very eerie.

Replacement ?

We had a local computer technician in to fix our computer this morning (Monday). We had an infinite loop problem, which he fixed. While working on the machine he opened it up to ascertain if there were any loose boards or components inside, he realised when looking into the machine that the processor chip was a Celeron 2.4 GHz which our computer verifies when you look into the Systems Properties, on the outside of the case it has a small manufactures sticker proudly advertising that the computer contains a Pentium 4 processor to be precise a 2.8 GHz. Now I have to admit that we brought the computer from Harvey Norman in Oxley on 22/2/2004 I might add that the set was not cheap. A year later we had to take the computer back for a USB ports problem. This was fixed in a week and I was told that another motherboard was put in. The computer then was still under warranty so there was no payment to make also there was no paperwork for me to ascertain what work had been actually done. I got in touch with Harvey Norman 1/10/2007 and they verified that I did at one time take the computer in and a replacement motherboard was fitted. An explanation was offered that somebody could have stuck that particular Pentium sticker on the outside. the same sticker that was on it when we bought it, that was partly the reason why the computer was expensive in the first place. The moral of this story, check for yourself when you have anything repaired, especially computers.
