Making slow progress on the database as you can you from the image to the left. I need to get a car charger or second battery. Using blue-tooth and wifi really sucks up the juice. I run out of power just over halfway of scanning Alfredton I’ll finish it off over the weekend. The total now is up to 1550 hot-spots. I now see how nuts it must of been for the google street view cars.

Updated my WiFi Hot-spots database on Friday. I went back and did a couple of streets I missed last time I still have a couple more to fix up. Also scanned one of the newest Neighborhoods. I now have a total of 1093 hot-spots. If all of Ballarat is like this it shouldn’t be hard to hit close to 10,000 hot-spots. I’m not using the best setup either as I’m not using an external aerial so I could still be missing some low quality signals.

Been awhile since I’ve made some contribution to the site. Been busy with a heap of different jobs. One of the jobs is I have been slowly mapping Wifi points around town. The image to the left is just a little sample of what I’ve done so far. Still have a heap to map out. Its going to take me awhile longer to finish as I only get a couple of hours a week to map them.
The tools are fairly easy to use. Laptop with Wifi, GPS (I have a blue-tooth GPS), Vistumbler, & Google Earth.

Dell has placed a new update of the bios on their site. A05 is the version number from here.
Now its lists these fixes.
1.”Press F12 key” highlight but not into boot menu while the POST
progress arrives to about 90%.
2.”rpcnetp.exe” is running when set Computrace as Disabled on Setup.
3.If set USB Storage as 1st boot device, system with usb device (not
bootable) can’t boot to HDD.
But I have noticed one more thing thats fixed. Windows 7 is now showing the remaining time for the battery. FINALLY you got it working Dell thank you.

Since moving my site to a new host I haven’t had a gallery. I’ve just spent the last day or so organising and reuploading everything.
With the new host I have unlimited space. So I changed the max resolution to 1080p HD spec. Read the rest of this entry »
