Referring back to my thread 12 years ago about mobile dishwashers - our trusty Dishlex with mobile conversion kit has finally given up the ghost and it looks like it is time for a new dishwasher. From what I've been reading, none of the manufacturers are making these conversion kits anymore -...

Apologies for the outage this morning. I applied a security update which somehow broke part of the web server and the logs were particularly unhelpful in diagnosing the problem. I ended up upgrading the server to give me sufficient space to restore a duplicate version of the file system...

I'm looking for a secure document destruction service suitable for a small business. I run a paperless office (as much as possible!) where any paper statements, receipts, etc are scanned and stored in digital format. I then store the paper statements in an old paper box (holds 5 reams of...

I've just moved the site to a new, faster server. As part of this move, some of the software which runs the forum has changed, which might cause some functions of the site to stop working correctly. If you notice anything which isn't working as expected, please let me know. The gallery...

Not sure if this has already been mentioned - but there is an awesome website which helps you order your preference votes for the senate called Below The Line. For anyone considering voting "below the line" in the senate (which I think you should - to make sure your preferences are YOUR...

Forums were offline for a couple of hours this afternoon - sorry about that. I accidentally broke the server while trying to install a library to support a new function I needed to use. Took me a while to troubleshoot why it was trying to install old versions of all the software.

I was talking to someone about property listings in newspapers and it made me curious as to whether people in Adelaide still rely on the real estate section in the Advertiser to find property or whether most people use Real Estate websites? I'm not specifically referring to tech-savvy...

Based on a misunderstanding in another thread, I thought I would start a list of cockney rhyming slang terms which are still in common use in Australia. For anyone not familiar with the term, try this explanation on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyming_slang These are terms I've...

It seems that some time on Friday afternoon, we passed the 1,000,000 post mark here on Somersoft. It is pretty much impossible to determine which was the millionth post, since deleted spam posts, duplicate posts and such, all make it very difficult to calculate. Every post has a unique ID...
