  • Outlook problem

    When you recieve an email message as an attachment to another email, you can’t open it. No messages are displayed or anything. It’s probably becuase you have Google Desktop installed. You need to remove Google Desktop and the problem should resolve. It happens with both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007.

    Dont believe me, try this. Hold down CTRL key while starting Outlook. You should get a dialog asking if you want to start in Safe Mode. Say yes. Now try opening the attachment. It opens? Yes – because Google isn’t loaded. No – Sorry but this fix probably won’t help, however feel free to try un-installing Google Desktop.

  • Banksia Park Weather goes live

    Finally Banksia Park, SA has weather information available to it’s residents live and on-line. With the type of land around Banksia Park the Bureau of Meteorology sites just don’t provide a clear picture with the closest being Parafield Airport. It’s still under construction from the perspective it still needs a 10m mast for wind speed and direction, it’s giving residents an alternative to be able to get readings from.

    The site has been collecting data using a Lacrosse WS2310 automated weather station since 3rd Jan 2008. You can see the live and historical data at Banksia Park Weather.
