Hi everyone, Dave again.

Do you still have your old regular phone lines and ADSL style internet?  Just a friendly reminder for those that do that both these services are coming to end soon for most of QLD’s Sunshine Coast. I would be happy to do an inspection of your systems and give a written report on what changes your office would need to make to ensure continuity of your services.

Any devices you have that currently use these technologies, such as Phone Systems, ADSL modems, Medic Alert dialer, Back to Base Alarm system, EFTPOS machine, Fax Machines etc., will all cease to work properly unless alternative arrangements are put into place.

Give us a call and Just Ask Dave!

Threat of Injurious Falsehood

Hi peoples,

I am being threatened with “Injurious Falsehood” for a review I left on a supplier for poor after sales customer service. I thought I had removed all reviews against this seller, but I missed one so now he is back at me again to remove this last one.

In order to succeed in an action for injurious falsehood, four essential elements must be proved:

(1) a false statement of or concerning the plaintiff’s goods or business;

(2) publication of that statement by the defendant to a third person;

(3) malice on the part of the defendant; and

(4) proof by the plaintiff of actual damage (which may include a general loss of business) suffered as a result of the statement.

Since nothing I have ever said publicly was false, I do not believe this case can proceed, but I guess we shall see.  The following is the entire trail of emails, eBay messages, conversations and copies of the reviews left after the purchase.

Hi, Dave here.

If you are in an area that is now serviced by NBN, you need to know that your existing ADSL and home/business phone lines will be disconnected 18 months from the date the NBN was first available in your area. For Noosa, Noosaville and Tewantin this means the end of 2018.

Hi all, Dave again.

Another facet of JustAskDave is aerial photography and video. I have been flying RPA’s (Remote Piloted Aircraft or Radio Controlled aircraft) for around 35 years and decided to investigate the growing Drone trend.  After a lot of research I settled on one and over the last year have been honing my skills to the point now I can offer my services at very competitive prices. I have passed the theory and practical for my RePL (Remote Pilots Licence) and have progressed in this area to now be a trainer for the same representing a national organisation.  (more…)

Instead of grabbing the mouse, try a keyboard shortcut! it may not seem like it saves any time at first, but after a while they become second nature and shave a few moments of repetitive tasks. Over time it will become much quicker than than the mouse or menu items!
Below are 20 of the most indispensable keyboard shortcuts for a Microsoft Windows computer.

Hi everyone, Dave again.

Do you live or work in Tewantin, Noosaville or Noosa Heads?  These areas are now online for NBN connection (as well as existing areas Sunshine, Sunrise, Marcus and Peregian Beaches and some parts of Doonan)

You don’t have to do anything just yet as you have approx 5 years from when it becomes available to when the old copper based network will shut down. However, if you are in an area that previously could not get ADSL (quite a few areas in Tewantin) you may now have access to high speed NBN internet services. (more…)

Hi, Dave again,

I have had a few calls of late where Telstra is sending a new NBN modem to it’s existing ADSL customers with no advanced warning. If you do not contact them they will change you over to NBN without you asking. If you do not want to change, you have to contact them and send the modem back to them at your expense! They will then tell you that you have to change, but neglect to tell you that you have 5 years from when NBN first became available in your area. (more…)

Well it’s been a while coming, finally bit the bullet (with a healthy push from the missus) and bought Drone..

After doing some research, the requirements were portability, quality and features.  I ended up with the Mavic Pro from DJI.  Interesting little beast, folds up to about 2/3 the size of a shoe, fits in the palm of your hand, but expands out to a fully featured – 9 processor – 4k video – automated – flying video machine!

I will give some more details soon, but as a teaser here is my first video that I am happy with to publish! (and my first attempt at flying over water!)
