My project for today was to run an Ethernet cable from the modem in the lounge up to my study, where my desktop computer is located. At present it connects to the internet via a pair of mains powerline Ethernet adaptors but I am getting a download speed of only 55 to 65 Mb/s from my 100 Mb/s Virgin cable connection.
After drilling the wall to run the cable out of the lounge, up the outside wall then through the wall into the study, a cable length of 18 metres, I am now getting a speed of 102 to 106 Mb/s. My wife thinks I am nuts - and she is probably right.

I bought a ready made cable costing £5.81 plus postage from here :-
:link: Cat 5.e (Ethernet) Cables (http://www.cabling4less.co.uk/category.php?cat_id=159)
I had to drill a 20mm dia hole in the wall to pass the ends through - but it was much cheaper and more reliable than buying a 25 metre reel of cable, the plugs and Ethernet tool.
You must have a similar company in Aussieland. Like here..:link: Buy Cat 5E Cabling Solutions & Patch Panels from 4Cabling (http://www.4cabling.com.au/networking/cat-5e-solutions.html)

This one is my old compressor,I had bought a handy man sand blaster even though the compressor would make it work for but seconds at a timeI thought it was time to do some modifications,works like a rip snorter now,even pump up tractor tyres now,and doesn't even know the sandblaster or nailgun is on it now with the extra tank

I did and they certainly do exactly as the manufacuter says,work better in open terran than scrub shrouded windy roads.

A more permanent solution would be to buy an ex-army centurion tank [/quote]
fuel economy won't suffer that Much DazzI'm only adding twenty kilo's to the car,maybe 30 by the time I engineer the mounting brackets. Alan won't need a centurion,this is what is called a smart bar,made of Moulded Plastic very strong but also very light,I can pick this one up easily with one hand.

I wouldn't have thought you'd cut a hole in the bumper Rick :Shocked:the only way to do it Craig,bumper is stuffed anyhow from the last time I hit a roo,once happy with everything I'll finish off the body work,the bar aint coming off until either Alvin dies or is written off,as for the induction,tubing wasn't the issue,once I get the proper screen it will look better and where it is,I'll just have to clean my filter more often(have a cleanable Hi-Flow filter in the standard box)
