We have the funkiest house in the world.

There's three of us - two geeks and a rabbit.
We're looking, probably, for another geek, but anyone easy going , meat friendly, smoke friendly, friendly. Did we mention easy going?
$500 per calendar month, which also covers our cleaner once a month. Shared bills (~ $50 pcm).
We're in Collingwood - handy for Smith St, Brunswick St, etc.
Available 1st November.
Own hub a plus.

Damn that's tempting...

But... could you handle living with me and my toys.
How big is the room? I tend to need 2 rooms plus a garage to myself these days.

Depends

On your power usage, largely :)
We have no threephase, so the big toys might have to stay behind :)

I could add another 2 bikes and another metric tonne or 2 of computers :)

Purchase of a motorcycle is waiting on several things:


  1. Paying off the car

  2. Buying life insurance

  3. Buying health insurance

  4. Learning how to ride a motorcycle



So it'll be a while.

Well, Stuart has a bike, so we're staying constant there.
Most computers live either in bedrooms or the puter room, so that's not so bad either.

So long as they don't dim the lights or spill into the library.

Actually my power usage isn't that high...
Usually only 2 or 3 machines on at a time (one with no monitor)... the rack (16 port 100baseTX switch and dual port 1200/9600 packet radio TNC).

The only thing I have at the moment that needs 3 phase is my 35kW shortwave transmitter, which isn't being used until I get my generator back... and that'll be going in my van when I buy one some time next year.
But yes... I suspect a number of my toys (the shed full of Apollo 20 inch monitors and the 6 foot high stack of sparcstations) will have to stay behind.

20 " monitors would be fine if they're at all VGA adaptable.
Or 13W3, of course.

Sort of.... they have weird cables but i have soldered up adaptors... only thing they've been tested with though is linux and they are fixed at 1024x800 (no, not 768, I really mean 1024x800)

XFree86 drives them perfectly... Windows wont talk to them at all...

What was that about hardware not spilling out into the living room? ;)

35kW shortwave transmitter

Ow. What kind of licence do you need to drive one of those?

You need a full amateur radio licence plus an experimental licence.

I dont think you can get the experimental licences any more... I got mine under the old Department of Transport and Communications rules before it changes to the DOC and then the Spectrum Management Authority.
