Well lots has happened in the last few months, so much so that I’ve posted nothing on the blog. This has not gone un-noticed I point out so I’ve now caved into pressure to post something.

I’d just thought I’d post about the network changes that I’ve made at home. Firstly I’ve upgrades the wireless network to something quicker. Not a massive leap in technology, just keeping up with it. Secondly I’ve installed a Squeezebox. It streams music from a PC in the house.

Squeezebox

So far I have 1500 songs awaiting the chance to be played (and I’m busy ripping more as I type). This little device can also be customised and I’ve added on plugins for the TV Guide and the ability to listen to all the BBC radio stations (including Podcasts and listen again facilities) using the AlienBBC plugin. It is really easy to install and well worth it.

And if this was not enough i have a 320 GB Network Attached Storage (NAS) to store all the MP3s on )
