Re: 'How To' - Requirements for visa extensions etc

For anyone interested here is what they are asking for: Importantly, the last account update/stamp should be current (same day) in the bank book. Also be aware that the Bank letters have limited validity, perhaps a week from memory. Since you're renting, the registration of your address is a duty o...

Sandboxie

Sandboxie... eliminates the need for common digital surgeries. That's a quite agreeable statement considering Windows security (or lack thereof). I use Sandboxie for ages, and nothing else for Win security on 3 boxes nowadays. Even the free version is good enough for most users. The only alternativ...

Re: Problems with gmail?

Just over this past week, I've been trying to send some emails back to the UK. They're important and took a long time to compose. However, 3 of the 4 didn't get sent. There's a some chance that you sent them, and they wondered why do you send same same but different messages. Normally there are 2 b...

Re: Power fluctuations - electric supply

This is a hydrofore type system that provides water with 14-18 m head (1.4-1.8 bar) at factory settings. The pump is controlled (on/off intermittent mode) trough a small pressurised 'vessel' (a bladder) and a pressure switch to prevent too frequent pumps starts and ensure relatively stable pressure....

Re: Power fluctuations - electric supply.. and pump hydraulics

It could have been helpful providing some technical information. Else, it's like trying to catch a black cat in a dark room, and maybe in the wrong house. I reckon I know what the likely cause is, but to suggest a reasonable/simple fix need to know more. Which/what 'Hitachi' pump do you have? http:/...

Re: VCR Tape to DVD or Digital media

Is that red rectangle just by the "Railway Restaurant" at the top of the night market? Yes, it is in that indicated area, not far (about 50 m, from memory) from the corner restaurant. It looked like an aircon repair shop. Communicating with the smaller guy is a challenge, but he knows his...

Re: VCR Tape to DVD or Digital media

.. I see there is a burst capacitor, which probably has something to do with it. The device worked fine when I stored it away three years ago so I can only imagine something has gone awry in the meantime. So, unless we have a donor VCR machine that will play BB's tape - we're back to square one. :b...

Re: VCR Tape to DVD or Digital media

With the tape player you need an A/D converter. I've found one in my hardware cupboard. You can have it if you want it.
