- Airbag - Set off in the paddock with a plough disk or somthing on it
- Intake manifold - Scrap?Sell? Whatever. I needed it out of the way
- Injectors - I'm probably going to put these on the Jeep to see if the more modern injectors give me better economy.
- Throttlebody - Possibly, maybe, unlike but it may end up on the Jeep. I think it's a bit bigger than stock so less restriction at WOT.
- Fuel Tank - This is going in the Rodeo which will mean that I can drive nearly 1000km without having to refil.
- Exhaust pipe - I'm goiung to use some of the bends from the pipe to help me make up the new exhaust for the Rodeo
- Radiator & Fans - With any luck the fans will fit on the Jeep so I can get rid of the mechanical fan.
- Air con compresser - This is an exciting one, This will be going in the Jeep for use as an endless air setup.
- Rocker cover - I'll probably clean this up and paint it then sell it
- Can Shaft - Either sell this or hang it up somewhere as decoration.
- Power Steering Pump - This will become an oil pump in some future project.
- Towbar - Sell, no good without the car it goes on.
I think that's pretty much all that came off the Falcon. If anyone is interested it's a Ford Falcon AU II ute. I will update this page with links when I use any of the above in my projects.

So I managed to get the remote desktop connection working to my work computer. Unfortunately as you can see, that required a few layers. At the bottom of the screen is my Debian taskbar, then running within virtualbox is the windows install on the other partition of this computer. Then within that is an RDP connection to my work computer at the office.
Probably the most impressive thing about this whole setup is how good the performance was. It felt like I would still be able to use it for doing actual work.
I am in the process of finding an alternative that will run natively within my Linux install and I have found this program http://remmina.org/ that will do RDP through a TS Gateway which is causing my headaches. Unfortunately the ppa I found for it is only for newer versions of Ubuntu than the version of Debian I am using. So I can either compile from scratch and probably have to sort out a whole lot of dependencies. Or I can update in place this install of Debian I am using now. Or I move to a distro with rolling updates like Gentoo which I was going to use but then needed a working install far to quickly.
I'll let you know what I end up doing. And particularly if it is a bit interesting I will do a writeup on it. If anybody has a suggestion as to how I should proceed let me know what you think and why.
Cheers,

So recently I ordered some shaving soap because after a perfunctory look around town I couldn't find anyone who sold it. So while waiting for the train I came across http://sharpologist.com/ which at least sounds like they know what they're talking about. They made a recommendation of this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00914G5LE soap (from a different supplier but they wouldn't ship to me.
It arrived yesterday and I got to use it for the first time this morning; and like when I started using the razor it has made a huge difference in the feel and how nice shaving is. I played around with it a little and seemed to get results that are worlds away from what I was getting before.
I plan to do a followup in about a month or so and see how I'm going with this and the razor. Unless I buy something else different again.
Any comments, queries are welcome.
Cheers,
Rex
