Today has been a a day of trying to restore my laptop to it`s previous glory, but it is still slower than when i first used it. I finally had to do a recovery to factory defaults, but I don`t think it is working any faster. 😦 I am not very happy with windows 7 but count myself lucky as my son has window 8 and his freezes about 4 times a day. I have now converted my desktop back to windows XP and have had no problems for the last 2 weeks. My only problem at the moment is getting them both to communicate with each other through my wireless router.
At least my wifi camera works through both, the time lapse facility works fine and I am going to take the sunrise from the computer instead of standing in the cold.
This is a nice small camera that is shockproof and waterproof, it takes stills as well as video so is quite versatile.
This is what my computer station looked like a few weeks ago when i was transmitting from the left to the radio on the right. I was experimenting with an old system that transmitted text in a very simple form called Hellscheiber. I found a program that allows me to use a computer for sending and recieving on a fuzzy logic site for amateur radio . All the work is done with the sound card in the computer instead of complicated machinery.
