It’s been a while since I’ve updated (I’m bad with that, I know), so here’s a little update on my life

I’ve settled completely into my new home now, and am starting to want to make upgrades. Add sockets in the bedroom, network the entire place with CAT5e, add a shower to the bathroom.

I’ve also yet to upgrade my server; I’m waiting for OpenMediaVault to be released, which should make managing it a lot easier. Plans for a HTPC are also on hold until I get a much better TV to hook it up to; the current 26" SDTV just isn’t any good anymore, I want to get a LCD HDTV to replace it, then get a HTPC to replace the XBOX (which cannot play x264 video reliably).

Another upgrade is the network; things have slowly degraded back to a mixed 100Mbit/Gigabit network, then 100Mbit. Getting that back to Gigabit is a fairly high priority for me.

Last upgrade on the list at the moment is the router; I really want to replace the singlecore VIA C7D motherboard in it with a fanless Atom board. Should be quieter with quicker VPN performance.

Shall be updating more often, I promise!
