Does anyone have an electric car yet? Or is anyone considering one? What sort of things are you thinking?

Off-topic chat, Help, Advice, General motoring issues / Dash cams
« on: 17 March 2015, 11:22:09 PM »
Following on from a comment by Wrighar in the insurance topic, he mentioned that he has dash cams in his car.
The attached image is from my Blackvue DR500GW-HD
Do you have a dash cam? Which one? Are you thinking of getting one? What are your thoughts on them?

Do you back back up your computer?
If you do, what OS do you use and what do you use to back up your data?

Off-topic chat, Help, Advice, General motoring issues / Vodafone & BT Openzone
« on: 28 October 2011, 12:47:28 PM »
As a Vodafone customer, I am supposed to have 'free' wi-fi access at BT Openzone (not BT Fon) access points.
When I was with O2, access was via The Cloud, to which you logged in once and then you automatically connected each time you were in one of The Cloud's wi-fi access points. Not so with Vodafone / BT Openzone, where you have to log in every time you reach a BT Openzone wi-fi access point.
Thing is, I have never been able to connect to BT Openzone. Even after triple checking login credentials are correct and checking with Vodafone that the service is enabled.
Are there any Vodafone customers, at all, that can connect to the BT Openzone wi-fi access points?
TIA

Off-topic chat, Help, Advice, General motoring issues / Data backups
« on: 19 October 2011, 08:03:02 PM »
Which operating system do you use and what is your back up regime, if any?
I'll kick it off:
I use Mac OSX Snow Leopard.
Back up strategy is two-fold: I do hourly/daily/weekly incremental Time Machine backups to external hard drive plus I use SuperDuper, every evening, to make a complete bootable clone to a different external hard drive.
I've also been looking at offsite backup but not implemented any yet.
