[Lloyd White]

I think I might have a record. I studied (?) Latin for three terms a year
for five years and never once passed an exam. But I found it useful for
reading road signs in Italy and Spain!

believe was for spelling my name correctly :-)

Latin is a bit of a sore point with me! At Grammar school, I was

I have to say, I hardly felt privileged by the selection!



Perhaps we now have 'Nullus Arbor', or 'Null' Arbor', or

Yes, well, as a NAB shareholder, I must concede that the amount  
of trees
that must go into their annual reports and other paperwork

well qualify them for the alternative expansion of NAB!

 Actually apparently the Aboriginal name for the area is 'Oondiri' meaning 
 'the waterless'.   :-)

Actually apparently the Aboriginal name for the area is 'Oondiri'  
meaning 'the waterless'.   :-)

http://www.answers.com/topic/nullarbor-plain

According to the Britannica Concise Edition:
"The name Nullarbor is derived from the Latin nullus arbor ("no tree")"

 and Wikipedia:
"The Nullarbor Plain is part of the area of flat, almost treeless,  
arid or semi-arid country immediately north of the Great Australian  
Bight. The word Nullarbor is derived from the Latin nullus for  
'nothing' or 'no one' and arbor for 'tree', and is pronounced "NULL-uh- 
bore" (IPA: /ˈnʌləbɔr/)."


Thankfully Latin was a type of dancing style by the time I went thru  
school!  :-D

Re: Domain Name problem

[Skehan Adrian]

Thanks all for the input.  Only some of my family can access the site,  
it seems to vary with the ISP--those on Westnet appear to be in the  
majority of those who cant access it.  I will post the solution when  
found.


On the matter of the Nullabor typo, I believe it is an aboriginal name

Have a look at http://www.southaustralia.com/EyrePeninsulaNullarbor.aspx

From one who was educated by the Jesuits, put the Latin 'nullus' and

Re: Problem with Apple Backup

[Glenn Nicholas]

iDisk runs on an Apple server somewhere in the cloud. GetDropBox runs
on an Amazon S3 server somewhere in the cloud. Major data centres with
security in place.

Is it secure enough? Depends on the data you are storing and your
assessment of the level of risk.
To store the GPS co-ordinates of your buried treasure chest, you can
encrypt data using a product like 1Password (very convenient) or using
up an encrypted disk image on OS X.

Glenn.

Thank you for that Dave,
I reckon I will be looking again at the iPhone.
Oh and also ... I did have doubts about the Telstra sales persons

That's why I asked put the comments on WAMUG.

I dropped my Dopod 838Pro twice, and the paint chipped off.

I dropped my Palm Treo 680 3 times, and the keyboard

"very brittle" is a very subjective statement coming from some sales

If you are worried about scratches, there are literally hundreds of

Bridgetown etc. I'm not even with Telstra's much vaunted Next G

happy to have a bad phone. And as someone who is on call a couple of  
times a week for surgical emergencies, I think you can imagine how  
important reception is for me.


I am on a basic $69 dollar 500MB data plan with push turned ON. I do  
not limit my data usage in any way. i still don't go over my limit.



I am surprised you don't know better than to listen to "some sales

oh, and by the way, if you do indeed end up with a problem with an

I spoke to a sale person at a Telstra shop last Saturday re the  
Next G

iPhone.

I told him that a friend of mine had dropped his and it had died.
He replied that he had been getting feedback that they are "very
brittle".
He said they do not survive dropping very well.
Where as the Nokia's are well known for their durabilty in this area.

When I asked him how well they performed in rural areas, he told me
this:-
The Next G phones are divided into 3 groups as far as reception goes.
Group A = work well in CBD and regional centres only.
Group B = work well in CBD and regional centres and some rural areas.
Group C = work in CBD and most rural areas (these are those that get
the RURAL tick).

The iPhone comes into Group A.

These points have pretty much put me off getting an iPhone.
And the fact that I would not use some of the functions due to the
costs involved.

He replied that he had been getting feedback that they are "very
brittle".
He said they do not survive dropping very well.
Where as the Nokia's are well known for their durabilty in this area.

When I asked him how well they performed in rural areas, he told me
this:-
The Next G phones are divided into 3 groups as far as reception goes.
Group A = work well in CBD and regional centres only.
Group B = work well in CBD and regional centres and some rural areas.
Group C = work in CBD and most rural areas (these are those that get
the RURAL tick).

The iPhone comes into Group A.

These points have pretty much put me off getting an iPhone.
And the fact that I would not use some of the functions due to the
costs involved.

I too cannot access those web links, either with Safari or Firefox.

I suspect it may be a DNS issue with our servers - I'm actually  
with Optusnet. Can anyone else with Optus give it a try.

Problem with Apple Backup

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks,

Re my earlier problem with Backup to iDisk failing over and over.
I checked the Mac forums and discovered that Backup can only handle up  
to about 90 MB.
That is truly ridiculous, but have reduced mine from almost 1GB to  
under 90MB and it worked no probs.

It's a bit mean though ... eh ?

I may have to look at breaking up my files into several separate  
backups.


PS: Thanks to Glenn for the GetDropBox suggestion, but how secure are  
my files there ?


Regards,
Stephen Chape

Can anyone out there give me a clue as to where to start looking

You should know by now that spelling is entirely optional!!  Please  
nit pick as much as you can peoples carelessness sometimes drives me  
mad as well.  My favourite hate at the moment is people signing off  
"chow"  which I always thought was an American slang term for food.   
Presumably they mean "ciao" and are just trying to be smart.

Hi Adrian,

The links work for me too, just as Neil describes. Don't want to get  
nit
picky, but I suspect you meant the "Nullarbor" rather than the  
"Nullabore"


Joys of running your own website!

Subject: Re: Domain Name problem

Hi Adrian,

Well, the links all seem to work externally, however:

 actually takes me to


(I don't know if this is your default set-up - it sort of looks  
like an

older site)

But  does take me direct  
to that

page.

Links on both entry pages also seem to work to navigate deeper.

Can't help you much more than that - but the fact that I can access  
the site
(with both Safari 3.1.2 and firefox 3.0.2) suggests the problem  
isn't with

the server ³www.skehan.id.au² but just your access to it.

Hope that helps.


Cheers


Neil
