Airservices have released the new set of DAPs for the current cycle. These are valid from 5-June-2008 until 27-August-2008. As always, these can be downloaded from the Xplane section of my site.

The standard required legal warning applies that these are not to be used for real world aviation as they may be incomplete or and incorrect and you should always get real world information direct from the Airservices web site.

I’ve been meaning to write a page on the configuration of a Linksys SRW2024 switch for quite some time, but just never got around to it. If you’ve read any of my other posts on this switch, you’ll find that I blast the user interface for configuring the device. The web interface only works in Internet Explorer, and the telnet/ssh/console configuration functions are completely useless.

That is however until I discovered a way to get to the REAL command line interface for the device. This CLI is pretty much a customised Cisco IOS when it comes to command set - and for those of us like me with Cisco experience, a doddle to master.

I’ve written up a complete page about it here for those who wish to unlock the awesomeness in the Linksys SRW2024.

It’s been a couple of months since I’ve posted anything on my aviation progress. I’m reaching the first milestone of my flight training. The GFPT (General Flying Progress Test) is booked in for Tuesday (27/05) and I’m already getting a tad nervous about it :)

This will mean I’ll be able to fly the aircraft solo, and also carry passengers between our home airfield and the training area. I hope all ends up well!

EDIT: As always with aviation, bad weather put a delay on my testing. I passed the verbal theory section of the test, now just to wait for the lovely Melbourne weather to clear up.

Hi all,

This release is exciting. It’s the ONLY ROM currently available from anyone (including HTC, I-Mate etc) that will measure battery levels in 1% increments. All stock ROMs measure battery levels in 10% increments - and because of this are REALLY annoying.

The full changelog for this release is:

Release 10.3 (16-May-2008):

• Rebased to WM Build 19213
• Updated battery DLL to show battery usage in 1% increments (Thanks cmonex!)
• Updated to Windows Live Messenger 10.6.34.0800.
• Freed up an extra 600Kb over release 10.2.
• Removed unneeded help files for applications not installed.

Make sure you grab your copy

Release 10.2 of my Dopod Replacement ROM is now available. The changes are as follows:

Changelog: Release 10.2 (12-May-2008):

• Fix IrDA Support broken in Release 10.1
• Update to HTC Network Wizard to 1.0.31261.1
• We now start Network Wizard in auto mode on boot.
• Removed duplicate Network Wizard icon in Programs. It's where it should be under Settings -> Connections.
• Update to X-Button v2.1.33556.2

As always, if you rely 100% on your phone, please stick to the stable releases.
