D'gar HQ: Dear Telstra,
http://dgar.blogspot.com/2011/05/dear-telstra.html
Thursday, May 19, 2011. A fault arose with my phone line in February this year (2011), resulting in my wife and I being without a home phone and cut off from the Internet for about a week. Telstra provided us with a free service that forwarded incoming calls to our mobile phone. We were charged full price for our line rental. G across a public park on Kirkwood Rd, on top of the ground. They said that this above-ground length of cable is the source of my problem. I was told by Telstra and. Example one of ...

D'gar HQ: Hacking people.
http://dgar.blogspot.com/2011/04/hacking-people.html
Tuesday, April 19, 2011. I asked on Facebook. If anyone had received a strange phone call from someone claiming to be from a computer security firm saying that your computer has contacted them over the Internet and let them know you have been infected with some kind of virus. I've had two calls like this. The first one I was pretty abrupt with the guy and told him that my computer most definite ly did not. Tact them and most definitely d. You don't think it's been running a little slow lately? She had an...

D'gar HQ: A Win Followed By Another Problem
http://dgar.blogspot.com/2009/07/win-followed-by-another-problem.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. A Win Followed By Another Problem. I googled and googled and googled and eventually found a few blogs with useful information and guides to get Windows to see OpenSolaris shares, and if Windows can do it, the Mac can. If you've happened on this page looking for the answer I found, I apologize. It was like 4am when I got it working and I went to sleep pretty much immediately but I'll post a few pages from the history that I think were helpful. I was pretty tired. I'm sure there's ...

http://dgar.blogspot.com/2011/09/hacking-people-round-2.html
Friday, September 30, 2011. Hacking People - Round 2. I just got off a half-hour-ish long phone call with a Representative of Microsoft. Who was kindly ringing me about a problem that my computer had reported to them. It's nice to be ready. Referring to Hacking People. So this time I decided to click an imaginary Start Button. The phone call was pretty much identical to the one mentioned in the previous post. Ok, I clicked Start.". What do you see? Um, lets see, there's All Programs.and.". She spelt out ...

D'gar HQ: The end of USB?
http://dgar.blogspot.com/2009/09/end-of-usb.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. The end of USB? Are developing a fiber-optic connection standard that will replace USB, IEEE-1394 (Firewire) and HDMI to name a few. The standard will support multiple protocols and multiple devices on a single cable meaning that it will be used to connect your printer, camera, monitor, portable storage devices and just about anything else that connects to the computer using the same plug. No more wondering if you've got something plugged in correctly! Husband. Blogger....

http://dgar.blogspot.com/2009/08/linux-zfs-nexenta.html
Friday, August 21, 2009. Linux ZFS = Nexenta. I stumbled across Nexenta, another OS that runs ZFS but behaves like Linux. I thought OpenSolaris looked and behaved like linux, but hey, what do I know? Friday, August 21, 2009. Look at NexentaStor on www.nexenta.com. There is a free 2TB developer version that may suit your requirements. Saturday, August 22, 2009 12:29:00 am.

D'gar HQ: Foray into ZFS
http://dgar.blogspot.com/2009/07/foray-into-zfs.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. The PC has four hard drives all of different sizes. The first one accommodates the OpenSolaris install. The other three are all grouped together into a single partition that is both striped and mirrored and is also expandable! On top of that, ZFS can sustain a hard drive failure, so if you have one of your hard disks crash, OpenSolaris will be able to rebuild the data that was stored on that crashed disk when you replace it with a new one! Back to the forums I guess. Husband....

D'gar HQ: My two favourite subjects!
http://dgar.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-two-favourite-subjects.html
Friday, September 18, 2009. My two favourite subjects! I caught a news article today. Gene Roddenberry - creator of Star Trek - was given the first ever Mac Plus to roll off the assembly line. This story made news because that very computer is going up for Auction. In case you are wondering, no, it's not being sold on e-bay, but at an Auction in Hollywood. Where No Mac Had Gone Before - Technologizer. The article has a few other interesting tid-bits for the Star Trek/Mac fan too. View my complete profile.
