Re: Skype

VoipConnect has a useful SMS service either via mobiles, desktop or web interface. I have given up on Tox!! :-L

Re: Skype

Apart from seeing a pretty picture of the other person, what does skype do that VOIP services don't do and with far easier set up ? SMS? The number of VOIP services offering SMS is VERY small. Unfortunately even Sipgate have dropped it. Skype still remains the only 'easy' way to send a text on my m...

Re: Shoreham Air Show Plane Crash

An amazing post from someone who used to be 'level-headed' (in 'the other place') suggesting that many of those dead and injured 'deserved it' for being there, and then going on to say ' only 4 of the dead were actually driving on the A27' - I think it might be time for him to hang up his keyboard? ...

Re: BT Home Hub5 2.4/5Ghz connectivity (windows7)

UPDATE: Since I reset the system on 3 Oct the connection on 2.4 has remained 'solid'. It may well have been the turning off of the house mains on 2 Oct to work on sockets that caused the issue and I wonder if it was simply a failed 'come back to life' on the Hub that caused the problem. I had done a...

Re: Shoreham Air Show Plane Crash

Absolutely, C16, 11 deaths and several serious injuries. Back to the Glasgow bin lorry, I'm afraid ex-A - do you think the police should not have been involved there?

Re: BT Home Hub5 2.4/5Ghz connectivity (windows7)

The ether is full of folk complaining about the 2.4 'dropping out' at random on H5 and the opinion seems to be that it is a firmware fault and (?surprisingly?) BT don't seem to care. Not helped by having the same SSID on both freqs. The friend is a lady who had a BT 'HomeMove' setup for Friday 28 Au...

Re: BT Home Hub5 2.4/5Ghz connectivity (windows7)

This is on '1'. I'll have to netstumble I think and see what is going on and get the hub replaced if it is faulty on 2.4.

Re: BT Home Hub5 2.4/5Ghz connectivity (windows7)

I think I would prefer to go the dongle route actually rather than re-card. Any comments on the Hub performance itself, though?

BT Home Hub5 2.4/5Ghz connectivity (windows7)

I've been helping a friend get set up with BT Broadband. She uses an Acer Aspire with a AR5B125 wifi card. It appears that this card in not .11a capable, and often she loses the Hub connection. When she does, other nearby networks are 'available' but not the Hub5 and my lappie will connect easliy to...

I believe there's a way to find old forum posts on the net. Can't remember where that archive is though. What date did this happen?


In Google

Ex-A - I think you have mis-understood. The 'comparison' is in the effect innocent deaths would have on someone, not the event itself.

Re: Securing ppruned.org's future

Happy to contribute with ugly money. It shouldn't all be on you. - seconded, not only the 25 Squid a year, but domain costs as well as inevitable 'other' costs, looking probably at the £50+ mark depending on the number of domains. Costs will rise as the server will (hopefully!) need upgrading with ...

Re: Shoreham Air Show Plane Crash

Ex-A - I did not read HC's post as in any way a 'pre-judgement', but merely a statement of fact, and, as it happens, my view too. An awful situation. How do you think you would react? I find myself also wondering what the state of mind of the Glasgow bin-lorry driver will be in the future. By the wa...
