Oops, wrong thread. apologies.

I forgot to thank those welcoming me back, not in my mind I did in thought not here thanks.
My connection is not yet complete my gear strapped on top of a ladder.
But boy is it working!
Speed 5 times better than I ever got.
I may be away again next week, hospital looms, but do not count me out.
Getting a bit philosophical here but this form of communication can feed our isolation, and support it.
So many are quite happy to live alone and in some form of isolation,PC supports that.
You are never truly alone with this.
I think we are seeing a new community, new communication , via this.
But not without a warning.
I saw such in early citizen band CB Radio,a community of near a million, it turned on most.
Even murders and rapes.
At times our opinions clash, so they should, but civility should not be a victim.
I have had to confront real life confrontation, because of my health I stopped turning the other check.
And as is my wish learned something new, about opinions.
We, all of us, should put more thought in to our opinions!
I stopped mowing the front and back nature strips.
After ten years, driven by Barma Forest Virus, I at times am crippled.
My actions bought civil war.
How dare I!
My yard became again victim of deliberate flooding, by recycled sewage.
Not not complaining think with me.
These folk half my age, have no ability to truly think about their actions.
NO not evil just very much uninformed and unaware, so doing my block is not the answer.
I will however never be flooded again.
No 100% right or wrong in any thing.
We all can learn.

sure pc's make isolating ourselves easy
but i been out there/seen that etc
likely drove by many..just in driving through town

its funny seeing the ladder..send your signal to the world
but no more that radio..that at one time was huge

[i never got into it..one to one..
not knowing who else is listening]

its too much like..telephone was..with party line's
[as seen on green acres]..amyhow

stay positive
its just when we think..'the adventure is over'...
that we find new reasons..to get online..
and hopefully new ways..to do it cheaper

but for me
its getting harder.. to get inspired/angry...
or even willingness to read others posts

it just dont seem all that important
till you see others start leaving
and wonder wtf is happening in their lives

all these nicknames..feel real
allthiough many posts could simply be computer generated
[ie no thought or thinking involved..or the same/same negative's..or worse regurgitated spin..

our minds can only process
what comes in..but its what comes out
that reveals the most...[about the poster]

only occasionally adds to the info
i heard yestyerday a summation of some affair
i was in depth..[though i forget what it was informing]

but i thought..now that is what govt should be giving out
full situation reports..with the facts...revealed...

like proper briefings
[like julian released..but by govt minesters
and on every topic..even topic the media dont pickup]

you know..actually read the legislation
at the first second etc reading

not just the title
hiding facts/detail
i used to read hansard
cover to cover..but govt should summerise..everything they do
full briefings/debriefings on everything..

looks like the union official got off
sems hookers and such,,*is what them cards are for
heck too many got them cards mate..the card values used..should pay tax..!

over and abouve earnings taxes
wages taxes and income taxes
[they arnt all the same thing]

OUG for every positive a negative exists.
Far more than most are willing to think suffer from isolation and the black dog, depression.
We all should not forget to look for positives.
Mate not afraid to say this, PC was a big turn around in my life.
Socially active always, but stunted by my education I read more than one full book a day, every day.
Now I live to learn, and no better class room ever existed.
Radio? you should have dived in to that pool, it has many ends many users ,each far different than the others.
CB has made life time Friends and lifetime enemy's, but was ok over all.
Find the positives.
I want to end this thread remembering not every one knows as much as me, but far more know more.
My new server, waiting to get e mail sorted, is great, 5 to seven times my old speed.
Any one wanting to explore the possibility's do not buy external antenna until testing this.
Take the toggle out of the back, using 5 meter USB cord, weather proof, put it on that out side.
40mm pipe, plastic, on top.
From one bar signal inside to full strength out side.
Fellow hams!trying to get to Wyong Field day!

Ahh yes Belly, the internet is a wonderful thing.... I think!

Or perhaps it isn't. I don't know if I wouldn't have been better off staying right away from it.

It works for a while, then something fu..s up and it is a mongrel to get fixed. I've just been through that shirtpile again today, with an hour-long call to Telfu.....stra, er, I mean, our lovely Telstra, after being offline for three days!

AAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!

Nice to see you back Ludwig.
Yes left that mob,no home phone line,why pay that much for just line rental?
Get post working life month long mobile use for that only.
We are disadvantaged, most 12 year olds know more than we ever will.
My new servers is the next biggest starts with O and great.
As I confront a health issue find this even better.
But at any given time any PC can drive us mad.
