Long time no see - thats a line that all my blogs seem to say eventually. Life is just too damn busy these days...
1 - I went onto the IRC channel I used to frequent daily over many, many years today and no-one was there. It made me a little sad :(
2 - My littlest one is now 8 months old. Time has flown by! He has a tooth, does a zombie crawl and has just mastered the art of pulling himself up on furniture.
3 - Managed to get a Raspberry Pi but have yet to do anything majorly constuctive with it as I have been playing around with other stuff. XMBC on it is pretty cool (although slow in places) and will only improve as it gets tweaked going forward.
4 - I taught myself PHP:PDO in order to convert some code that used flat files into SQLite
5 - Got hold of a TP-LINK WR703N for £15.29 on eBay (I actually have 2 now). After seeing the results from piratebox I decided to make my own from scratch based on the same ideas but with all my own code. I will release all the code, instructions and images here when it is finalised. Taught myself quite a bit in the process. The second one is going to become a miniature file server for home to replace a PC I currently use once I am sure it can keep up with streaming MKVs around a wired network. iPerf performance puts it at around 90+mbits/s so it should handle it fairly well.
