I hear John wants a new speed test challenge with Jama using his dual carrier Vodem. Last time Vodafone tried a challenge like this Jama pwn3d Fraser King from Vodafone!

Last one to download the newest Linux kernel source code gets the couch.

Did you know Jama is our host at the pizza parlour?

I hear John wants a new speed test challenge with Jama using his dual carrier Vodem. Last time Vodafone tried a challenge like this Jama pwn3d Fraser King from Vodafone!

I think the test should be run again.

After all it's all WCDMA now (!!!)

So have you get the tents out Mr Biddle?

Great. Gives you a chance to sell some 2deg mobile broadband!

For those wondering about the logic of that comment....

* Mobile BB - because it's not like the ppl in a soup kitchen can afford a fixed line with dsl these days! Not to mention with rent prices, they can't afford a house to connect it to anyway.
* 2Deg - the perception is they're by far the cheapest with 1Gb for $20 a month. Now that might not be a fact, but I was very interested by the comments of a tech guy today when I commented about the price of that data. To me it suggests that awareness of mobile data pricing is very very low. And I confess past knowing 2deg are $6 for 50mb, $20 for 1gb on net, and vf are $10 for 100mb... I wouldn't have a clue either, and I do care.

It just works out best since i have a meeting at the airfield in parakai on sat am so flying myself down works out better. At least the weather is looking ok. Also im being picked up in the Biddle Corp hummer limo from Paraparam.

Should be a bit of fun. Maybe next year Geekzone can get BP to donate some avgas :D

I wish!

Last year I did all three events (my partner also joined me) - it was expensive (airfares, rental car, accommodation) but well worth it, in my opinion.
