Gus You can get the metal with "galfan" or plastic coated. Also look out, you have to lace the things together, this takes ages, get some *REALLY* big pliers. ...
I was only posting a short summary of what the guy told me. As I said, frankly, I don't believe it. In this age, I would be very surprised if they did not...
I think the real problem is the same as it is with any other so-called 'help line'. The people who answer the phone think they know it all and are very ...
Gus, ... Thanks for that link. Those handles are certainly along the lines I'm thinking of - and though it doesn't say so on the site, there's presumably ...
Help Line = Hell Desk While I have never worked on a Hell Desk, I work with people that do. Why civilization insist on having these things is beyond me. Rick...
When the time comes, I will ignore what I have just been told and submit a spreadsheet, based upon their layout. The guy on the phone, when asked whether they...
Unfortunately, but important to remember, it doesn't matter which century they're living in, they hold the purse-strings and if they tell you stand on your...
I'm not happy with the use of the word 'civilization' (because I really don't consider their use 'civilised') but it's pretty obvious why they've become so...

Hi there, We will be having some timber cladding on the house to add visual 'texture.' I want it to be horizontal, SWMBO wants it vertical. It seems to me that...
Hi there, I hope I will be able to put the TV aerial in the loft but everyone in the area has theirs mounted on a high mast, so perhaps the loft will not be...
... I can't remember if there was anything in the notes that came with it but mine is float finished but not super smooth. I'd say it was just about smooth...
I totally gave up with terestial TV/Radio, we have a sky dish with 4 LNB on it, and we run the cables round the house to where we site the sky boxes for...
Folks Can anybody recommend a low power (hopefully silent) PC, I want to use it to control my heating, spec can be low, I just need 2 (or more) serial ports,...
Although not as eco (as David points out) you can usually solve the signal problem of putting the aerial in the loft by adding what's (historically?) called a...
obvious answer is a VIA Mini ITX - several to choose from, including fanless, various speeds & I/O options ... we've bought one to run the HA on ... good...
... I would avoid loft mounting if at all possible. Also look at the possibility of fitting a satellite dish. There are currently two ways to set up a...
eg: the http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11134 has four serial ports ... LinITX also sell the necessary leads, cases, whatever - and are good at...

Rick, Can you use the serial-to-USB adaptors, e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Serial-adapter-converter-connect-printer/dp/B000L0UDQA ... or do you need onboard...
Hang on Chris - there is a sight that shows that..... Here you go, http://www.megalithia.com/elect/aerialsite/index.html Click on terrain and it maps the line...
