Got Net? I do. The adsl internub was connected yesterday so I can recover from my withdrawals. It's amazing how much spare time I have to do other stuff when I am without broadband. /me giggles.

The stupid sony monitor I recieved free is a little dodgy. The picture is ok but it won't sync to most resolutions. It works for 1152x864 at 60Hz but no higher refresh, 1280x768, 864, 960 at 60, 72, 75, 85 Hz fine but no 1280x1024. Those weird ones in the middle aren't 4:3 so the screen looks stretched. So I'm reduced to running at 60Hz :( At least with a dichroic lamp I won't get any flicker. And it's still miles above my old monitor. I can't find a inf file for it which i reckon might help a bit. I will google around later.

Ran lots of cables down the hall from the HT amp to the computer. Needed phone, antenna, 2xanalog audio, digital audio, video and network. As you would expect the video bleeds a bit on highlights coz it's going through about 6 metres of cable. My tv doesn't have y/c input tho so I can't really fix that. I might try running it through the length of rg-6 i have altho thats 50 ohm and not 75. I still imagine the 6-m composite is better than what I would get out of a link transmitter thingy.

Not having solid brick internal walls means the 802.11b works a lot better too. I get 'excellent - 11Mb' everywhere in the flat from the little 2dB dipole I am using on the server. I'll have to look at RADIUS to secure it so no one leeches off mee.

lalalalala, BORK!
