Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Ever since starting geocaching I have wanted to dispense with the paper cache description and find a streamlined way of paperless geocaching. As yet there isn’t a GPSr that allows you to simply visit the geocaching.com website, do a search for parituclar caches and then upload all of their details to the GPS device. As...
I’ve recently decided to try to get a little fitter again, so as well as buying some gadgets I wanted some software to track my progress (or lack of progress as it may turn out to be). I’ve been looking at various applications for the Mac and evaluating them so thought I’d share my thoughts...
I’ve been doing well with my attempt to get a little fitter, or at least slow down the decline brought on my increasing age! I went for another run yesterday with my Garmin Forerunner 305. I had planned to take it relatively easy and keep my heart rate at around 150bpm, but as usual, the...
The Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station is now back online again. We had some problems with it in December. First the temperature and humidity sensor stopped functioning properly. A replacement was ordered, but when installed it fried the main SIM board within the sensor suite and everything stopped working properly. I have since got a...
Seeing as James asked for a daily updates as far as my attempts to get fit are concerned, here are the stats from my Mountain Bike Ride around the Pendam Trail at Nant-yr-Arian today. First the route itself, My Speed and Heart Rate graph… Max 172bpm once again! And the summary stats. After the first...
As you know my latest gadget which arrived yesterday is a Garmin Forerunner 305, which is a GPS enable Heart Rate Monitor training device. The idea is that when you are out running, cycling or doing any other outdoor activity it tracks your precise position and speed using the GPS and records your heart rate...
I seem to be becoming GPS enabled in all walks of life these days. It started with a Garmin eTrex that I originally bought to see how fast I could go whilst windsurfing and then started using for geocaching. I had a TomTom One XL for my birthday which has been working well and is...
As you know from a previous post the weather station is currently out of action. After some phone calls to the UK distributors it seems as though there is a fault on the main SIM board so it was dismantled and sent off to them just before Xmas. Unfortunately they will be on holiday until...
I knew it… The new iPod is an iPhone without the phone.. Perfect. I said, way back in January when the iPhone was released that the new iPods would be iPhones without the phone, and now it has come to pass. For me it has all of the best bits of the iPhone, touch screen,...
Sometime website development can be very frustrating, and as a freelance web developer with few people to turn to when I come across a problem I really get to experience the highs and lows. Just the other day whilst working on a fairly complex project that I have on at the moment I came across...
