My Favourite Android Applications

These are all the apps I use right now (not all of them though, that would take quite a while)…some I use more on the tablet, some are not free, and some are widgets only. I’ve tried to note in the detail all this information.

Network Bridging in an Ubuntu desktop/server

Requirement is have two or more network cards on a server that do the same job as a network switch.

1000base switches are more expensive than a few NICs and spare PCI slots (although the bus may not be up to all that traffic). The Desktop is running LTSP so Gigabit Ethernet is a much better experience for the clients.

Just another day at the track

There were lots of cars there…it was $75 for the day – generally the club keeps costs low and tries to just break even. A number of Aucklanders went the day before and stayed the night locally. We stayed at the African themed hotel in Taupo.

MX5 turns 10… celebrated in Christchurch

I happened to be travelling to Oz around this time for work, so I stopped in Christchurch to help the Christchurch club celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the MX5. It was great to meet the famous (in Mazda Circles) Toshihiko Hirai who was head of the Mazda Roadster program from 1986.

That 2005 MX5 Record Attempt

Remember… back in 2005 we set the Guinness World Record (at the time) for the Largest Parade of Mazda MX-5s? It was also part of the launch of the NC Model, one of which led the parade. Officially, 294 MX5s/Roadsters turned up on the day (we counted more, but hey…)

NC Launch! (and other cars in a car show)

I’m great at planning work trips… and this one I happened to be in Melbourne at the time of the Melbourne car show. This was the regional (and possibly the same time as the other nations) launch of the NC MX5.

It’s Training… not Racing

Who doesn’t love a good track day (or driver training day… as we always try to call them). In my time with the club, I probably went to 5 or 6 at various circuits around NZ. This one was at the Pukekohe circuit.

A Very MX-Mas 2003

Standard Club stuff, go to a place around Xmas, have a picnic. Well that is what it is like in NZ… maybe not in the UK and US. This was a bunch of pics from way back in 2003.
