In the hours before the Hillville fire, burning south west of Taree on the NSW Mid North Coast, began its destructive path crossing the Pacific Highway east of Possum Brush and Rainbow Flat residents progressively received a series of text fire warning messages from RFS headquarters.
The destructive path of the fire saw a lot of properties burnt and a number of homes lost in the Possum Brush and Rainbow Flat areas and it ultimately burned all the way through Khappinghat National Park to Wallabi Point and Old Bar while also heading south to threaten Tallwoods Village and Diamond Beach.
In the days afterwards the fire formed a long front which stretched from the top of the Pulpit at Tallwoods west to Mt Talawahl.
Two 737 Jets bombed the top of Mt Talawahl with pink retardant in order to protect vital telecommunications infastructure but the fire burned around the base of Mt Talawahl through Pipeclay Creek Road and Candoomakh Creek Road just north of Nabiac where it seriously threatened a cousins property on Candoormakh Creek Road before heading over the ridge to Wrights Lane near Dyers Crossing. I heard sadly tonight, that the old ancestral home of my grandfather and great grandfather, Beau Vista, where my father was raised had burned down as the fire went through but I have yet to confirm the accuracy of that report.
The fire front also took a turn to the east into properties behind Failford at Greys Road where sadly another home was lost. Pushed along by strong southerly winds it now headed for the Bullocky Run and Highlands subdivisions where fortunately an intensive firefighting response overnight saved all of the homes as far as I know.
With the fire now just a few hundred metres short of linking up with the originating point of the Darrawank Fire of a few weeks previously, it burned along Failford Road and Bungwahl Creek into the southern end of Timbertops Estate where its eastward then northerly march led it directly to my brothers rural acrage boundary fence.
At this point the fire had got into tall trees and was a twenty metre high inferno as it headed north fanned by strong south easterly winds along the back of all the rural acreage properties on Laurina Drive at Timbertops Estate.
Most of these properties were cleared, including my brothers place and were horse paddocks so access was possible for the brigades to prevent the fire burning too far onto the back of the various properties as it came through.
Fortunately by the time the fire front began running through the dense forest along the back of the Laurina Drive properties there were four fire brigades on the scene as well as two big water bombing helicopters and two fixed wing float plane water bombers.
With my brothers property right in the path of the inferno, and in particular, his stables and large colourbond work shed, the water bombers did their job quickly and effectively, saving the two buildings from burning down by dropping dozens of loads of water on the advancing fire.
It was very fortunate that there was a large dam just 300 metres from the fire front and the helicopters made good use of it while the float planes flew to the Wallamba River not too far away to pick up their water.
A team of eight or so local volunteers, including myself, had also come to assist before the fire front arrived and we were able to help stop the spread of the spot fires across the dry grass as they travelled towards other properties to the north. We were also able to stop the fire burning across grass toward my brothers home. It was however fortunate that a brigade arrived to assist just as the volunteers were losing the battle with the rapidly spreading grass fire.
Without those volunteers and the brigades the fire may have burnt to the north to other properties and it could potentially have spotted on the eastern side of the Lakesway opening up a new fire front that could have threatened Homestead Estate.
Fortunately none of that happened and the fire was reduced to a watch and act basis by late that afternoon with a couple of brigades mopping up.
While I was in Los Angeles, we saw these text message board everywhere that said not to text message while driving. A little ironic that they distract drivers attention with a text message to tell people not to text message.

If you're going to use a dumb text to thank your girlfriend for an ace trip to Barcelona make sure you check what the predictive text has spelt.
Oooops.
Text message from Liz Rench, referencing a Dr. Phil soundboard prank call that was particularly funny.
My goal was to turn lights on and off via cell phone text messaging. Using Bob Paauwe's iLink INSTEON software (http://www.bobsplace.com/ilinks/) as well as Twitter (http://www.twitter.com), I was able to network my cell phone with my house's electrical system. The goal is to implement this on a larger scale at the Duke University Smart Home (http://www.smarthome.duke.edu/).
Special thanks to Bob Paauwe for developing iLink and helping me with the configuration. Also, thank you to Summize for providing me with API access to Twitter.

Texting while driving, Trash Talk Tuesday
Talking on a cell phone while driving is distracting enough; texting is much worse.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in this crash but the iPhone was obliterated.
Totes BF! :-O WTF?
Happy Trash Talk Tuesday, Folks. In the words of Jim Morrison, "Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel".
Which brings me to me next thought... ( Don't do drugs. ;~)
The National Security Agency intercepted discussions of a plot by leaders of Al Qaeda in Yemen, but spy agencies did not combine the intercepts with other information. The father of the accused attempted bomber reported his son's "radical" text messages indicating that he was a security threat to the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency however this outreach was disregarded.
Multipul sources are being blamed for the foiled attack. President Obama delivered a blistering indictment of “human and systemic failures, " while others government officials blamed the National Counterterrorism Center who points fingers at the CIA. Former Vice President, Dick Cheney states that Mr. Obama “pretends” the United States is not at war against terrorists and the White House blames the Bush administration for allowing Al Qaeda to gain power while Bush was focused on the war in Iraq.

This Nokia promotional mug produced about 1999 and this was the same year in which they launched their first internet connectable mobile phone. This phone, the Nokia 7110, came with a WAP browser (Wireless Application Protocol) and text messaging capabilities.
At this time, Nokia also ran an extensive multi-media advertising campaign titled 'Connecting People' which celebrated the launch of their new mobile internet connectivity phone.
