Pool Times Program

This programs downloads the forecast data from the Bureau of Meteorology Website, uses BeautifulSoup to parse the html in python and pulls out any data needed to work out what times the pools are open.

It's a work in progress

Looky here! : Use in need.

Random Programming and Info

This section is like a blog of hints and programming I have made over time.
While I am not a particularly good programmer, someone might find this stuff interesting!

Other stuff on this site includes wonderful tips and hints about how to set stuff up that I had difficulty with.

UniWireless and Nokia Phones

The IT department at Melbourne University denies being able to do this at all. I asked. They said "Nokia Phones are not compatible with UniWireless at this time."

They Lied.

You can get any E-series phone, like my E71 to work. It may also work with other phones if you can follow these instructions.

  1. Attempt to connect to UniWireless if you have not already. If you successfully connect, you don't need me!
  2. Navigate to Tools > Settings > Connection > Access Points > UniWireless and set "WLAN Security Mode" to read "WPA/WPA2"
  3. Click Back and select "WLAN Security Settings"
  4. Set "WPA/WPA2" to "EAP"
  5. Select "EAP plug-in settings" and Disable all of the profiles except for "EAP-PEAP." Ensure that "EAP-PEAP" is enabled
    You can enable/disable profiles by pressing "options" then selecting "enable" or "disable." A tick appears next to enabled profiles
  6. Select "EAP-PEAP" and ensure that the settings are defined as follows:
    • Personal Certificate: Not Defined
    • Authority Certificate: Not Defined
    • User name in use: User Defined
    • User name: *Enter your central email username here*
    • Realm in use: User Defined
    • Realm: unimelb.edu.au
    • Allow PEAPv0: Yes
    • Allow PEAPv1: Yes
    • Allow PEAPv2: Yes
  7. Press the Right cursor key, so that you change tab to "EAPs"
  8. Disable all the EAPs except for "EAP-MSCHAPv2" and ensure that "EAP-MSCHAPv2" is enabled.
  9. Select "EAP-MSCHAPv2" and enter your username and password
  10. Press "Back" 4 times, and press "Options" and select "Advanced Settings"
  11. Set the proxy server address to "wwwproxy.student.unimelb.edu.au" and the port to "8000"
You should be right! You will be asked for your username and password again when you try and access the internet for the proxy server, but everything should be hunky-dory.

Course, you can email me if you have issues. Let me know!

CFA Updates Program

The CFA updates program monitors the RSS feed that the CFA puts out, and filters it for information relevant to Woodend, Victoria.

It then posts these fire updates into another RSS feed, but with an additional map. The Map shows the distance from Woodend to the fire's location.
