The totally off-topic thread

[Flashback]

Just got this from a mate of mine who lives up in BME (and is a pilot!):

Hey ladies and germs,

Nice photos.

Here's my selfish plug:

Landmarks category - Osaka Castle

Landscape category - Settlement Wines

I have to say that the criteria "must be shot at a location which JQ flies to" was quite broad! Well, Settlement Wines (McLaren Vale) is about an hour's drive from ADL. There are some photos of Kinkakuji - the Golden Temple. Many people put Osaka or Tokyo as the location, but the Golden Temple is located in Kyoto! (About one hour shinkansen ride from Osaka and about 2-3 hours from Tokyo....)

I like the Settlement Wines photo, D2.

If anyone is thinking of getting mobile broadband stay away from it.

Youtube has stopped working for me and I need to re-install latest version of Adobe Flash Player again even though the latest version is already on my laptop. I have been trying to download Adobe flash player for 3 days now without success.

If there is anyone with my email address and you have a few minutes spare I would greatly appreciate it if you could email me the Adobe Flash Player install file. It is only 1.87mb....

Adobe Flash is quickly becoming more than a dinosaur....to me it should die a not-too-slow and horribly painful death.

Adobe Flash is more full of holes than Swiss cheese and verges on bloatware. Go HTML 5, go......

 

[JohnK]

I agree but unfortunately I cannot view anything on YouTube without Adobe Flash Player....

AFAIK Mrs WF is using the older version of flash with Firefox with no issues - other than occasional laughter. We are 20km + away from the closest ADSL connection.

I try to stick to limited use of the BBC and ABC tools.......

I thought I was in Melbourne yesterday... during my game of hockey we had 4 seasons! Including lightning and thunder, and then clear skies with the sun beaming down!

Come down to Sale. It's pleasant though a little windy.

The forecast for this afternoon isn't so good though.

Currently 23.1c in Brisbane today with an expected top temperature of 26c, I wonder where winter got to. :shock:

My neighbours are also moving in 2 weeks, so it seems August is the month of the moves!

3 boxes done.......... many more to go

We had about 2-3 weeks this year where it was cold in the morning...... that seems to have passed now, though.
