 +====== My time at Commodore ======
 +[[my_time_at_commodore|{{:​commodore:​commodore-building.png?​nolink&​400 |}}]]
 +
 +When I reflect back on my career, there have been quite a few special and golden moments. ​
 +
 +One of my fondest experiences goes right back to the start with Commodore Business Machines in Lane Cove.
 +
 +So how did I get to be at Commodore? And what was it like?

 +====== Hacking Region Free DVD on the LG LHB655NW Home Theatre ======
 +[[hacking_region_on_lg_lhb655nw|{{:​lhb655nw:​lhb655-region-menu.jpg?​nolink&​400 |}}]]
 +
 +Unlike the rest of the streaming world, I like to own my things. Unless the cancel-culture-woke-folk start making house calls I can continue to enjoy Season 2, Episode 4 of the IT Crowd on DVD. Streamers can't.
 +
 +I recently picked up the complete DVD collection of The Fast Show from the BBC for a very good price but it was Region 2. I'm Region 4. So began the journey of looking for codes and remote sequences to try and hack the region.

 +====== Build your own Mobile Phone with the LilyGo T-A7670SA ======
 +
 +[[build_your_own_mobile_phone|{{:​t7670sa:​t-7670sa-held.jpg?​nolink&​400 |}}]]
 +
 +I'm not a smartphone user, and I rarely carry my little feature phone. But since Telstra shut down the 3G network, my perfect little flip-phone from 2010 gave me a big hug and moved away. Nothing has come close to replacing it.
 +
 +But what if you could build your own, the way you wanted it? That would be pretty cool.
 +
 +During the last few days I've been looking through the LilyGo T-A7670SA'​s vast feature set: Bluetooth, WIFI, LTE, GPS, USB, solar charging, condenser mic input, speaker output, 18650 Battery Holder, TF Card slot, SIM slot and plenty of GPIO.
 +
 +I'll walk you through how to work with the board, what to solder, how to send/​receive SMS and how to send/​receive calls using just the stock firmware. No code required.
