First observation is that these all look remarkably similar. probably from a couple of Chinese factories.
www.joolca.com.au
These guys have (I think) two offerings the V1 and the V2 but their web site gives you the ru around so it's hard to work out the specifics.
I think
V2 $399
V1 - When I click on a button "show now" that proports to give the price, it just jumps to the V2.

Bike Riding
Trying to make a exercise habit.
Going for a ride every morning. Unless i have rowing.
Sun 24 - 11:30-11:30 ish - River loop from home, past Syndetic, South bank, bridge to QUT. Stopped for coffee on the bridge. Took photo.
I'd done a couple of shifts supervising rowing at Centenary. Got home 11ish and Jemma wasn't home. Procrastinated for a while and figured I had better get on with it. Beautiful sunny day. Cut corners though. Skipped Yeronga by riding past Syndetic and skipped west end by riding down past State High.
SAT 23 - No big ride. &am dropped Jemma at Centenary drove home and then Rode to Bob & Jenny's and walked around the streets of Sherwood. Coffee at Ananas Expresso Graceville and back
Fri 22 - Short River Loop. Included Yeronga. Over the Elanor Schonell Bridge and up Swann Rd. 52 minutes. Coffee on my own at "The Diva Lounge" Then 13 minutes home.
The short river loop looks like <1hr a="" an="" and="" bit="" hour="" jemma="" more="" my="" on="" own.="" p="" than="" with="">
Thur 21 - 1hr 10 min. Short River Loop with Jemma
Dep 6:10 Arr home 7:20. Included a bit back along the river rather than up Oxley Rd.
Wed 20 - Short River Loop with Ben Webb. Depart 6:30 and rode to Tennis Ctr. Met up with Ben and continued. Coffee at Diva. 8:08 went our separate ways.12 minutes to Magee St.
Tue 19 - Short River Loop. With Jemma. 6:10 depart. 7:10arrive magee St.
Mon 18 Did not Ride. It was cold and wet as I recall.
Coffee on the bridge to QUT.

Half River Loop
Been wanting to find a formula that would let me do a bit of exercise before work.
Luckily yesterday it was raining so I tucked up in the blankets and went back to sleep.
No such luck this morning. 5:45 the alarm went off and a few minutes later I was joined by Jemma. The cat demanded breakfast. 6:10 took a selfie and we were away.
From Graceville past the tennis ctr, through the back streets of Yeronga along the corso. Every up hill Jemma powers away and then kindly cruises along the flat while I huff and puff to catch up. Under, under and over the Elanor Schonell bridge. Observed the red buoy.
Stopped to remove beanie and jumper and have a drink.
Then selected interval hills and it was up and down along side st Lucia golf course. Desperately trying to build enough speed on the down hill to at least get half way up the other side. Finally on the flat between st Peter's and Indooroopilly Brigidine and Jemma no longer able to put up with my slow speed powers into your distance. Over the river again and home.
18km 50minutes half river loop.

Online Storage
I have misplaced my hard drive with all my photos on it. Another emotional hit after mariage break down and living alone.
So I am looking at keeping all the memories online.
My google drive is getting full.
Options
Microsoft One Drive
Google Drive
Drop Box
?
Normally the independent variable is on X and the dependent on Y.
In this case we pay $ and get storage so you would think $ should be X but maybe it's easier to imagine getting GB and looking at the $.
MICROSOFT
Free 5GB
$36 100GB
$99 1TB + one Office 365 subsription
$129 6TB + 6 Office 365 subscriptions But it's only 1TB per login. This will be a pain to manage

$1500 10TB
DROP BOX

Microsoft One Drive Full
Turns out I had a personal account which I think has nominally 5GB of space.
My office 356 was a business subscription (as it should be).
But for some reason, my business microsoft account is not my email address.
So there was 1TB of un activated Onedrive available.
-----------------------------//----------------------------
My Microsoft onedrive has decided it is full.
The biggest problem is I can not work out much about my account.
Even is it a business or a personal account.
How much data storage should I have?
I am trying to comminicate with microsoft

Accounts and Billing 02 8223 9959.
When I right click on it and choose properties it tells me I have used 9GB
When I go looking, I thought I should have 1 TB.
Clicking on the "Storage Full - Get more" takes me here. 1TB seems pretty common.?

Rebirthing the Surface pro 2
I have a old Microsoft Surface Pro 2.
The main motivation to get it going is that I would like a computer at home so I don't need to cart my laptop back and forth each day. This surface pro has Microsoft office on it.
In the bag with it were two chargers. I tried each in turn and on neither of them would the light on the plug come on and so I had no way of knowing if it was charging. I decided in the end to cut one of the leads off and use a lab power supply.
My previous post on this is here
https://thomsoneu.blogspot.com/2014/06/microsoft-surface-power-plug-pinout.html#comment-form
SUMMARY
I think the surface pro charger is foldback current limiting.
There is a web page here that shows how to cut the charger open
https://forums.surfacetip.com/forums/topic/cracking-open-surface-pro-3-charger/
WISHES
A schematic of the inside of the charger.
To really understand what the blue wire does.
To understand when the charger turns on the LED.
When I cut the lead I saw 4 wires.
Braid is GND
Red is +12V
Blue is centre pin.
Yellow is LED control
Surface Pro 2 - Charge plug wiring schematic.
The Surface Pro 2 can somehow control how much current it draws and sometimes it goes over the 3A maximum current that this power supply can deliver and that triggered the foldback current limit.
The microsoft power supply states that it can supply 3.6A.
I also connected the Surface Pro 2 to different external power supply that could supply 7A at 12V. (No photos of that).
It seems the blue wire might be a voltage feedback to the power supply from the Surface Pro 2 that tells the power supply how much current the laptop is taking.
V Current Blue Wire
12.9 2.8A 0.46V
12.9 3.4 0.5V
12.9 2.2 0.273
12.9 2.0 0.288
I reconnected the original Surface Pro 2 charger but with an extra
LED of my own and left the leads exposed so I would monitor the
voltages.
It seems the real power supply has the same fold back problem with the voltage dropping from 11.8V down to about 8V in pulses.
V Blue wire LED Screen
11.8 0.0 OFF 84% plugged in Not Charging.
9.8
8.?
7.95
It pulses down. It does not stay down.
If I was going to cut a plug again I would just slice it down the back
Once I knew that the yellow wire was the LED I could apply 5V and see the LED light. I don't know yet what voltage the power supply uses to light the LED.
It's hard to get a decent closeup with my phone. Gets all pixelated.
