Hey, those pictures look like they come from the Monash Carols by Candlelight held at Jells Park.

Hi
I want to build a computer to perform for a music studio I run real band and band in a box.
Will the workhorse be suitable or should be using a different set if so what should it be?
thanks

Dear Charles,
I read your column in the GG regularly, and enjoy your amusing, useful & often pithy comment. I’ve just taken time to look at your blog for the first time.
About Facebook… It’s my observation that so-called social media are in fact exclusive and on occasion, anti-social. I talked with someone recently who is wanting to engage young people in volunteerism. She learned that Twitter & Facebook are are the ways to connect. Further information includes a warning that you cannot remove content or close an account. Even at death, a certificate is required to remove details. This being my understanding, I will not join on principle, even though I am very curious and probably savvy enough not to get caught. Sorry to find that this exclusive club has grabbed you too, but of course it’s your specialty and I’d love to know what you discover, perhaps through more inclusive media.
All the best,
Ros.

Comment on Buying TomTom in Australia by bucky

Tom Tom is s t the repair mob wont even reply to calls or emails. Sent both units off for repair both came back with different versions of the maps. All speed limits were way out of wack, Thge main highway through the Hunter Region comes up as 60 not the 80s and 100s. Even after you have manually corrected it, when you update weekly or fortnightly the speed limits revert back to the horse and carriage days, around where I live Tom Tom says the limit is 50k not the 100. The Newcastle expressway was 60 and 80 k, my we are backward. Regents Park is hopeless.

Comment on iCyte: Building a library on the Web by malcolm

Looks like a great product, but wants to store my data on their servers. With Tb drives this makes no sense.
I’m avoiding applications that want to store my data (hostage?).

I don’t have a face book login. I gave it up some time ago and don’t intend rejoining. What’s wrong with the blog?

I’ve responded a couple of times to this post but they have never appeared. Are you sure you want us to let you know what we think? Was it because I indicated that I’m not a Facebook user?

I’m concerned about privacy and don’t have a Facebook page for that reason. This means that I’ll also miss out on the Bleeding Edge Facebook Page.
I agree with Mr David’s comments in the forum that hopefully you’ll also keep posting on this blog.

Not much good to those of us who very carefully avoid Facebook.
