The old PHP Nuke site was running tired, hard to update and add to. So move across to WordPress which was not to difficult a migration to complete including all the post data from the old Nuke site. All up about 10 hours work.
The next few weeks will be doing minor tweaks with the way things look and work. If you can’t find something, from the old site, please use the search as it is here (with the exception of the downloads section which I’ve turned off).
We’re off on a roadtrip to Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria over the next few weeks. You can follow our adventures including live GPS tracking at my travellog blog
Our planned route for this trip
Coming soon.
Rudder pedal controller using USB (part number 204-TV-B). This board will interface your home made DIY Rudder Pedals to Flight Simulator using USB. It’s inputs will be 3 x 10k ohm pots, one for the rudder and one each for the left and right toe brakes which connect with provided Molex connectors. USB is via a B type connector which also provides the required power for the interface board.
The prototype board is about 52mm (2inch) x 35mm (1.4inch) x aprox 20mm (0.8inch) high with the Rudder/Toe brake connectors connected. It will be available pre-built and tested with or without pots. It uses the standard Human Interface Device (HID) USB specifications for a Rudder Pedal Control meaning it should work on any operating system using this specification (Windows, Linux and MAC).

Are you interested in Electronics? Or embedded electronics? Or any of the Microchip PIC microcontrollers like the PIC18, PIC24, the dsPIC33 or the latest PIC32? So am I so I’m writing about my adventures with these devices in my blog called Trevor’s Electronics Blog. The drive to do this was my adventure in learning the PIC24 and doing it using the Explorer 16 board. I got a book that uses different chip and board configuration so I’ve added to the book for others the steps needed to run the excersises in the book on the Explorer16.
Here’s a picture of my Explorer16.

It looks like the US government has figured out how to get itself out of the financial problems it’s in. Watch the Onion News Network cover as Ronald Schuler, treasury spokesman announces the recal at a press conference.
Hi all. Came across this video on YouTube the other day discussing what the blood type terminology is. Is it type O or is it type zero? Have a look for yourself.
As you saw in the video, the correct term is type zero. Well done HotForWords.
Adelaide, South Australia – Saturday 27th September 2008
In front of about a thousand spectators, the King Air B200 Twin Engine Corporate Charter VH-URU on a charter flight from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island crash landed on Runway 30 (South East to North West runway). No-one was injured with passengers praising the work of the pilot.
The large crowd was at the airport to see the new Qantas A380 Airbus arrive for the first time at Adelaide and where treated to a perfectly executed crash landing of the twin engine King Air.
It circled the airport for some 30 minutes to burn of fuel before doing a low level pass along the runway to steady in the gusty winds before landing on its belly skidding to a very quick stop.
The video shows the approach and crash followed by the passengers escaping and emergency services quickly approaching. Sorry for the slightly bumpy footage. It was really an opportunistic shoot with no time to set up with tripod etc as I’m sure you can imagine.
Finally got around to changing the Banksia Park Weather Station site to its new version moving the Flash movie off to a sub page and using JavaScript to keep the ‘static’ page updated every 25 seconds. It’s got more features and more useful areas including a longer range forecast from Weather Underground, access to radar, warnings from the BOM, and will allow me to grow the informational part of the site that explains weather in simple terms. The version on-line now is just the start.
So if you’re living in any of the following suburbs, it’s probably the closest site to get temperature, humidity, barometer or pressure, wind direction and speed, and a whole host of other information on the weather :
