The PDA is a freebie hand-me-down – an old Toshiba e570 running pocket PC 2002.

I bought a ‘new’ Compact Flash wi-fi card on ebay for $9 and it is sweet! Might get a CF GPS unit and then a 2Gb CF ‘harddrive’

I don’t use the PDA for ‘work’ things – even being an IT guy… [suave3] I fly a fair bit, and I have found that it’s a good…[Read more]

BAH!

I can confirm that the left hand menu item does seem to work more effectively – from a useability point though, it’s still not that flash that a tool is offered but doesn’t work on our precious forum!

I reckon the error is about a ” quote mark short of a syntactically correct piece of dodgy ASP/VBA – should be PHP [suave2]

Don’t get me wrong, they have gone fan-bl00dy-tastically, and made a freakin good go at opportunity, but the figures seem a little rubbery!

My IP has ocean/island views, 10 minutes to work, a bike ride to Barnacle Bills and a big resource company paying the rent!

South Western Times newspaper article

In hindsight, there was an innocence in the error, and Cata has 2 good points – the lawyers, and the lesson to sharpen up the contract – if I believe it to be essential to the purchase

With that amount unfortunately, I think that the lawyer would benefit more!

I think you nailing clarification of Plant and Equipment is required – also what is required to be explicitly defined, and what can be implied.

Another analagous situation I can think of is a swimming pool.

The swimming pool is advertised as a selling point – and I think you could reasonably expect to see a filter and a pump after the…[Read more]

For the link you supplied to one of the 340 submissions http://www.pc.gov.au/inquiry/housing/subs/

It made for interesting reading. Equally interesting is the final document that the submission may have made a contribution to:

Areas Like BROOME, PORT HEDLAND, GERALDTON, KARRATHA “all” look good..

Nooo Redwing, I haven’t gone Gerro yet! I still have to bluster Bunbury, Waikiki and Dampier enough to be able to buy there yet

I must also say I am impressed with Australia Post Platinum Express post service – I posted the documents in Townsville yesterday afternoon @17:30 and I had a phone call from the Perth…[Read more]

For starters, I’m not bagging the financier – pretty much a clerical error, at a very bad time! I am fortunate enough to have direct service where I can pick up the phone and ask if I’m good for $x.

Completed boilerplate forms are sent to me to autograph, the ‘standing order’ has been a lend in my name in a separate account structure.…[Read more]

Now that I have sent the thing off, I will elaborate on the situation – if you’re interested!

I live interstate of the IP (I’m in QLD – IP in WA)

You put it back into perspective by saying ‘property expenses will be all yours’ because – at least it is in my name.

Kudos to you!

FIFO is tedious from a personal point of view, economic point of view and a social point of view.

The ability to attract and retain quality staff is more difficult with an average staff churn at 3 years.

Economically, FIFO worker “A” may earn $100K, but there still are the costs of accomodation, catering and flights to…[Read more]

I wrote to realestate.co.nz and I received a reply stating that they were frustrated at REA’s not updating the information and doing nobody any favours…

I also get annoyed with oz REA’s and their maintenance of websites too. I have phoned the poor souls at funny hours to do a deal, with them only to say that the property has sold…[Read more]

Thoughts on the underappreciation of Waikiki / Cooloongup / Warnbro / Safety Bay (anything but SwingingPig) ?

Sometime ago, I used to live in Waikiki – when the Wanbro Fair, Waikiki shops seemed to pop up and thought what a great place.

So now, the area has,
– Murdoch Uni annexe
– A heck of a lot of Schools
– Plenty of…[Read more]

Townsville is a tricky one! My experience is that people have very strong affiliations with suburbs due to a suburb’s facility and style. The area really does have that diversity of 100k to 1.1M as you would have discovered so far.

My personal preference is for Railway Estate, South Townsville, City, North Ward, Belgian Gardens,…[Read more]
