Topic: any WORKING rabbits in australia?

hi there

i love the rabbit and i think of getting one.

however i live in sydney which is far, far, far away from the central nabaztag server. therefore i'm worried about latencies on top of all the other troubles reported about the rabbits.

so, does anybody live in australia who's satisfied with his or her nabaztag?

thanks, leo

I'll tell you in a few days. smile I was bought one for my birthday and it should arrive on Monday, hopefully.

Ok, my new rabbit is alive! Works pretty well from Australia -- most messages only take a few seconds to arrive. I'm having a bit of an issue with some of the streaming radio stations, i.e. some will play, others will not. Haven't tested it fully yet.

Though, he hasn't chimed any of the hours yet either, nor done any Tai Chi or Nabazmoods. Not sure what's up with that.

We all are having issues with streaming online radio these days. The stations are just messed up for some reason. It's not Aussie-specified issue. Btw, I'm in Europe.

mmmh, these things appear to me as core functionalities of nabaztag. so why can't violet get this stuff right???

Re: any WORKING rabbits in australia?

aaah, and of course: are other people here in australia with violet's rabbits? and what are their experiences?

Re: any WORKING rabbits in australia?

me and my rabbit are in New Zealand. Niffo is working fine (had to buy a new modem, other was too old), tells me the weather, the hour, heaps of tai-chi and some podcasts and rss feeds. Quiet on some of them but i'm patient to wait.

The biggest problem i've had with him after getting him to work would be that sometimes he doesn't go to sleep on time and i have to turn his volume down or unplug him. Though there is a widget that can be used to turn him off i usually close my computer down before rabbit goes to sleep.

Might've just been incubation problems. He has been happily relaxing with Tai Chi and announcing his moods periodically as well. Though, he's sitting on my desk at work and I'm at a client for the rest of the week, so the next time I'll see him is next Tuesday! I'm sure he'll amuse the guys in the office while I'm away though.
