      If you’re not paying tax things are a lot more affordable.

      “Ain’t that the truth!!”+1?

      As far as Google Timeline is concerned it shows a lot, and very accurate that is too – which is less of a problem, especially now that I know about it 🙂 – but there is a lot missing too.

      It seems to pick up stuff that has been actively looked at along with other factors. It shows a relative’s address that I researched before she moved in last year using Google Maps, plus she’s in my phone Contacts. It doesn’t show our rental property which I also Googled a lot, using Street View, but I’ve also spent a goodly amount of time there over the last year and more so over the last week since that tenant left. Yup, it’s re-furb time.:(

      It’s interesting to see what it needs to add an “event” to the page.

       

      Edit – Quote from the Duke – “Never mind The tax, I don’t they paid wholesale for anything.”

       

      Never mind wholesale, there’s a lot that wouldn’t have been paid for at all.

      In our local paper, the news that the Circus/Funfair/Traveller’s Camp is in town, is usually followed a month or so later, by an article about the increase in petty theft and burglaries!!

          The only ones I can see having a good future are plumbers, electricians and soccer players!

           

          You forgot to add politicians to that list ED!! They seem to be Teflon coated – not individually, ( though some do seem to be ) but collectively – the general public seems to be in a permanent state of self-delusion, ie the next lot will be better than the last lot. They won’t, they’ll just be a touch of the ” same, but different” !!

          A cynical person might say that real change only comes with revolution, but that’s not something that I’d either advocate or recommend.

           

          TM on the other hand might be fighting off a revolution from within, as Micheal Gove and Jeremy Hunt seem to be positioning themselves as a popular choice for the top job, by advocating the unthinkable ( for TM ).

          She got the job when David Cameron under-estimated the general public, taking them for granted, so you would think she wouldn’t repeat the error. But she did. She alienated the top end of the age spectrum and considered the lower end to be irrelevant. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that losing the Seniors and Labour gaining the Juniors would shake her world the way it did.

          It won’t be long now!!

            At least it’s sorted – that’s the way with PC’s every now and again – it can just be something stupid like a space in the wrong position, but it doesn’t tell you and won’t let you move on to the next stage!!

              John – it definitely works on TB and they “link” nicely too. I have TB open on my left hand monitor. The two main accounts on it are GMail and MS Mail. I also have a Tab in ( always open ) Chrome displaying GMail on my right hand monitor. As I delete from one, it reflects on the other, and vice versa.

              For me it just works.

              Are you looking at it the wrong way round?? It looks like you’re in Google trying to add GMail to TB. You should be in TB, Tools, Account Settings, Account Actions ( drop down box bottom left ), Add Mail Account…..

                I’ve just gone over to Sky Mobile so I’m giving it a trial. So far, signal  indoors is as bad as EE originally was, so they’ve sent me another Sim,-  it made no difference, and I’m due another callback from them tomorrow when I’ll need to convince them to send me a signal booster like EE did.

                It’s a good deal at £10 pm for 1GB data plus unlimited calls and texts as I’m a Sky TV customer. Interestingly, when I went through to get the PAC code, EE asked if I would stay if they price matched. I didn’t bother.

                  admin/sky is the default user name and password on their hubs. I changed the password at the get go, but it annoyed me you still need to keep admin as the user name. Allowing that to be changed as well would increase the security strength by 100% ( 2 unknown facts instead of 1 ).

                    …… and thought I’d try out embedding on her.

                      @admin – maybe it’s worth keeping an eye on this one, Lee, or she could just be the shy, retiring type of course!!

                        Hey I finished college in 1972 at the ripe old age of 30 so it is digging up issues I have not had to look at for over 40 years but then again the basics never leave you once fully understood. It is the detail which eludes me now. I used to love circuit analysis in real time using Laplace transforms on servo mechanisms but now I can only just remember what a Laplace transform is, never mind how to manipulate the maths of it. There again at 73 and retired I no longer need to do so but it is nice to know that if needed I could go back and use them I have the capability to do so. Lets hope never.

                         

                        I know – it’s great. There are still times when my memory of Elementary Telecommunications Practice ( City & Guilds ) from the late 60’s amazes my son  with a Computer Science degree!! He didn’t think the old man was that smart!!:) But it was all basic principles that apply today, just as they did then.

                          I like the explanation in the link by JayCeeDee but thought it a bit too technical for Tadka who professes to be non technical in this area.

                           

                          Hence the “{ advice:) just take the quote, the rest of the info lost me and I have a basic/general understanding of it albeit from a good few years ago!!}” comment??

                            If you can get into the manufacturer’s support page – internet first, then Facebook or Twitter might be a way to try, – you need to find out the output impedance that is on the headphone socket, coming from the speaker’s inbuilt amplifier.

                            This will give you the necessary information to either swap your new headphones for the same model, (but with different impedance) or some form of impedance matching transformer or piece of kit, that will allow you to match them correctly.

                            Some manufacturers like Beyerdynamic have 2-3 different impedances for the same model, which they list for different sources.

                            Above quote from HERE – { advice:) just take the quote, the rest of the info lost me and I have a basic/general understanding of it albeit from a good few years ago!!}

                             

                            EDIT – I’ve just seen that ALESIS have a support forum HERE. That may be the best place to find the impedance details you need.

                              There’s an interesting discussion developed on AV Forum about receivers HERE that I saw from an email drop today. Very long topic I see, haven’t worked my way through it yet.?

                                    The Sun Dial is 10 minutes slow though….  

                                   

                                  That’s probably because you nicked it from someone down South – above the Watford Gap is a different Time Zone!!

                                      Be careful what you wish for, Steve. The wife has often said, over the course of our 35 year marriage, If ever I truly p*ssed her off, I wouldn’t need to worry about divorce lawyers, or liquid soap on the top step – difficult now we live in a bungalow – I’d know because there would be a Porsche on the front drive and the keys with a big bow on them. She knows me too well. I’d kill myself in one of those!! I’ve always been one to push at the limits of things.:(

                                        If that post had been underneath Steve’s post showing his “new” car, it would have made sense,- also if you’d known about Richard Hammond (Hamster)’s recent trip off the road in a hill climb race. He rolled it and set fire to some grass.

                                          You didn’t do a lot of damage when you rolled it Hampster-style, but you certainly set light to that mountain!!!

                                          EDIT – Typical, when you want it right under the previous post, it rolls on to the next page.
