Re: Now that you have lost your mobile, what’s next?

On android, for anti-theft, use Cerberus.
Google Android Manager is a built-in alternative, but you must have GPS always ON to trace back your phone.

Thank you. :)

Re: Orange Mauritius launches 4G LTE!

Yeah, the 5S A1533 supports 4G here, but it's not "officially" supported by Apple on Emtel.
Basically you have to do some .plist editing to add support for Emtel....

I use Aramex (Shop&Ship) for the same purpose.

Would be interested to know the actual fees paid (+VAT+Customs), because I find the dimensional weight thing to be a double-edge sword. :)

Re: Guest post – My experience in a court room in Mauritius

carrotmadman6 — Sun, 22 Sep 2013 14:38:13 -0000

I don't even know what to say...

So what we have here is a fiefdom governed by the whims & mood swings of a select few. Dare to question them & have 'a contempt of court' thrown at you.

No wonder the common man cannot expect the full impartiality & fairness of a court of justice, when such abuse of power is taking place at every echelon of society.

Banana republic indeed.

Icons on the top bar are a bit too dark (especially on tablet). :)

Re: Nexus 7

carrotmadman6 — Sat, 13 Jul 2013 06:35:44 -0000

Yes, that is perfectly "normal."

Since Nexus devices are being sold by unofficial channels here in Mauritius, the retailers are free to markup any price they want.

Re: Bollywood, that’s Mauritius dude, not Goa!

& cheaper B films shoot in Goa & claim it's Mauritius.

The circle is now complete. :)

Re: Which speed radar detector do you use?

Nope, I watch 480p on my N7.

If ever I choose HD option, it goes like this:
*Buffering*
Watch 30s.
*Buffering*
Wait 2 min.
Watch 30s.
*Buffering*
& repeat... :(

Oh, I didn't notice that. No, I don't think it's a coincidence. It was in the same lane. :)

Re: carrotmadman6's photoblog: Maha Shivratri 2013

carrotmadman6 — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:45:12 -0000

No chance of that happening. The parking more than 5 m above the lake level.

Re: carrotmadman6's photoblog: Maha Shivratri 2013

carrotmadman6 — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:15:00 -0000

Afaik, there's no drain that connects directly to the lake. More likely the water seeps underneath the ground, albeit quite slowly, which is why it's always over-flowing. :)

Re: carrotmadman6's photoblog: Maha Shivratri 2013

carrotmadman6 — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:38:58 -0000

Oh, I didn't know it was the Bramha Kumaris.

As for the water overflowing, I don't have a photo of it, but I think most of the water comes from the neighbouring swamp.

Re: Internet at 10Mbps for Rs 280/month?

Try admin/password or admin/adslroot.

If it still doesn't work, you can still hard reset the Livebox. All settings will be lost though.
