How Fast Is The NBN?
Tweet I was asked to do a short interview on ABC Ballarat (local radio) yesterday to comment on the website How Fast Is The NBN. The spot was only about 5 minutes so it was quite a short discussion and I thought I might expand on that just a little. The How Fast Is The NBN website is an accurate simulation of the difference in speed between 25Mbps and 1000Mbps. It’s worth mentioning though that it is a ‘perfect world’ simulation which assumes unlimited bandwidth in the general network infrastructure. Right now we simply don’t have the national infrastructure to support...
Read MorePhishing In The Big Pond
Tweet I see phishing emails come through every day, and some are quite impressive. You’ve probably seen some yourself that have very broken english, mis-spelling of the organisation they purport to represent etc, but some do come through that are well formatted and could easily be mistaken for the real thing. This latest one is quite well formatted – has good english and the Telstra logo. The link leads to a page on ‘cephtex.com’ though so don’t get tricked into giving your information...

Tweet If you’re a mobile worker or a network admin, or if you often find yourself a guest in security-conscious offices, you probably know how frustrating it can be to try to print when you’re away from your home or office.

This frustration is over thanks to HotSpot Printing. The latest innovation in mobile printing, HotSpot Printing gives you the freedom and flexibility you’ve...
Read MoreA Warning About Australia Post Parcel Delivery
Tweet I have to admit to being just a little bit annoyed at the way that some parcels were delivered to my house recently. It used to be that someone would knock on the door and if you didn’t answer they would leave a card in your letter box to let you know you had a parcel and it was waiting to be picked up back at the post office. Apparently that has not been the case for quite some time. I’m not sure when the change was made but the way it works now is the parcel is left somewhere on your property (next to the front door in my case) unless the sender has paid an additional fee...
Read MoreKeeping The Spam Down
Tweet Preventing spam email messages is an ongoing issue and I’m sure that isn’t going to change in the foreseeable future. I am pleased to say though, that we spent most of last week implementing new filtering technologies on our mail server that should provide a noticeable reduction in the amount of junk you receive. We’re also monitoring spam messages and adding filtering rules each week to automatically delete messages that are very obviously spam messages. This includes the various ‘bodily enhancement’ products and drugs, unsolicited job offers and bogus...
