it's pretty quick here in Singapore...
you guys are aware of the general slowdown in intercontinental access at the moment due to the earthquake in Taiwan right?
I've got problems with all European connections right now (my companies main servers are all based in EU)...

As a coincidence, I changed my ISP yesterday (from Unwired to Ozonline).
All of the station wagon conversion are between 17 and 77 KB; for the interior between 31 and 42 KB.
Yes server is in Europe thanks for the input EchiDna.

Brilliant work Daniel
I didn't know of the earthquake. It's probably taken a submarine cable or two.Quote:

If there have been several cables broken, repairs could be delayed depending on cable ship availability. I haven't been able to find out, from the 'Net, how many cables are damaged. I've seen six mentioned but no cable system names listed.
I'll ring my ex-boss today and ask.

WAY WAY OT!
hehe 'broadband' in Australia... what a joke :mad:
I was on 6500 kb/s cable until recently... got a free upgrade to 12000 kb/s :D costs me about A$40 a month...
most of you guys can't even buy anything higher than 512 kb/s for residential right? :(
back on topic...
Vida, thats some conversion - did you make all the panels yourself? or did you have a body shop roll/shape them for you?
also, love the kids bed idea!
I've got a poptop 110 camper myself - have been wondering how I can get another bed in there for my son, your idea would work very well!
interesting job that one :)Quote:
