New toys! License free push-to-talk radio!


I recently got some new toys. A pair of two way radios. These babies are license free and standardized all over euorope. This means you can pick them up where they are cheep and still use them at home and on vacation.

A set of two sets you back about €50, and they have about 3 km range. I gave one to a friend of mine who lives on the other side of town, apx 3 km away and it worked fine. But we both had to be outdoors and between us was more or less only water. However, perfect at IKEA or the summers festivals. They run on 4 AAa-batteries, which seem to last several weeks and are dead easy to use.



A test of the Ecto blog client

This is a test of the Ecto blog client. I have tried out iBlog and MarsEdit, but allways gets loads of errors. Its supposed to be because of blogger and not the software itself, however to try one more wont kill me.
