Hi alll.

It’s been a while.

There’s a new mac twitter client called syrinx and it’s accessible and i’m very very impressed.
It takes a lot to impress me when it comes to software but so far i’m very impressed and it is super.
If you want to try it for yourself and don’t use that bloated os called windows, then point your browser over to the following link and download a copy today it’s free so you really have no excuse to try it out.

Ok finally after being off the internet for a night because the phone company stuffed up, i’m now online and really enjoying the new speed and the service.

I even received an sms from my internet provider advising me everything should now be working fine.

As I say, the service works well i’m syncing at 23 megs down 1 meg up and the speed is fantastic.

Nothing much more to report at the moment so will write more over the next few days before my eye surgery next Monday.

Ok it’s now 6:15 pm Monday evening and still no adsl two plus service.

Bloody phone company are so useless when it comes to provisioning these new services.

I called my isp and they were as helpful as a jar of unopened peanut butter. They just said wait till tomorrow afternoon and call us if there’s no change.

 

I’ll update this journal if something should happen tonight but I doub it very much.

 

Stay tuned for more on this adsl service update.

 

 

My new micro system is working way better then I had hoped.

Firstly you can pop in a standard usb key full of mp3 files and it just plays them one after the other.

The cd player works very well and it’s a joy to use.

I’ll be learning more about it over the next few days.

 

In other news, really looking forward to christmas and spending time with my family and friends.

Will post more tomorrow.

 

Just off to try and find a replacement skype phone and to listen to some mac podcasts on the victor reader stream.

 

 

Ok all i’ve just purchased a new Panasonic scpm46 micro hifi stereo.

It has a usb input for mp3 devices. a music port otherwise known as aux in for connecting to stereo equipment, a cd player that plays mp3 cdr cdrw wma and not sure what else.

Also has an am fm tuna and my awesome Uncle is going to help me set it up tomorrow.

The sound is fantastic and it’s one of the smallest stereo’s i’ve ever purchased.

 

I also bought an airport express for my mac which allows you to stream your iTunes music wirelessly to your stereo.

 

Here’s a link to the new Panasonic stereo I just purchased.

Ok today I went to the good guys which are a very large store similar to best buy and staples. They sell everything from computers to stereos tv’s videos and more.

I found an awesome Panasonic stereo with iPod dock and usb input cd player that plays mp3 wma and cdr cdrw discs. Easy to use not menu driven and good sound for the price.

Haven’t decided yet on the model I am after but as soon as I find one I like or purchase one, i’ll be sure to let everyone know and post a link to the stereo.

 

 

Ok the new billion router is going very very well.

 

The voip quality is supurb and it was very easy to setup and it just works.

 

It also has 4 gigabyte ethernet ports 80211n wireless and you can also plugg in 2 phones.

There are also 3 detachable antennas and the chipset it’s using is called solos.

Older models were using the argon 432 chipset and the solos chipset seems in my opinion is better.

Adsl syncs quickly and this unit does get warm but not super hot so you can’t burn your hand on the device.

I’d recommend this unit to anyone wanting the above features.

voip works well, I like how if you want to call out using your landline, you simply press hookflash or flash on your handset and it switches from voip over to the pstn line.

 

Check out the specs and post comments and let me know what you think of these units.

 

 

I think i’ll be buying one very very soon.

Here’s the link again for the router info.
