IMPORTANT SECURITY REMINDER
If you're one of the sort of people who don't update your devices until its forced on you, it may be time to rethink that behaviour. Apple, Chrome and Microsoft all have zero day patches out at the moment. What does this mean? A 'zero day' exploit is an exploit like a virus, worm or malware which is actively being used against users. The Apple exploit doesn't even require you to do anything to be compromised, they can just take over your device at will.
If you do one thing today, make sure you update any and all of your devices and apps which need it, if possible activate automatic updating for any device or app which allows it.
More information can be found at https://www.wired.com/story/update-ios-windows-chrome-zero-day-patch/ or your app or device manufacturer.

iOS, Windows, and Chrome all have zero-day vulnerabilities that hackers are going after. Now that the fixes are here, you need to install them ASAP.

Valuable advice.

Ever wonder how people's account(s) on social media get hacked?

Have you ever seen posts "just for fun" that ask all sorts of random questions.....

I've finally had the time to setup my PWS, that's a Personal Weather Station. It's showing the current weather for the village of Ulmarra. Let me know if you find this sort of information helpful. I still need to calibrate the wind speed and direction though so bear with me.

Get the Ulmarra, AU weather forecast with today, tomorrow, and 10-day forecast graph. Doppler radar and rain conditions from Weather Underground.

Repairs to PC computers, home Wi-Fi or to answer general IT related questions. Do you need some help learning how to setup or use your new device.
