The return to normal

Oct 6th

Well depends what normal means I suppose.

Well I got my phone back this morning (well a new one), now to get it setup and all that good stuff (am looking for a waterproof cover ;) ).

And then also Catelyn goes back to creche tomorrow, which means that the Germans are gone, and her chest has cleared nicely (still a little bit of a runny nose but that should be gone by tomorrow)

Also have “installed” the removable hdd on to shredder and once I have finished setting up a couple of paths and shares this should be accessible to all on the network. Unfortunately I have to setup samba for sharing with that other OS, but at least it’s easy. :)

When I build my NAS

I’d really like to build a NAS (network attached storage) server for my home network. If I had the money I’d go with this case and this motherboard

I think this is a really nice looking case and a really small board :)
The only thing I’d need to add would be 2G Ram, internal 10G hdd for Debian and a slim DVD-RW, and of cause the 4x 1TB drives :)

And then I found this machine which can be used as a thin client for various things (like mythtv clients/webbrowser)

One day :)
