I like to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum.

I also enjoy throwing around movie quotes.

I enjoy reading a lot (just found a great library of ebooks that I'm slowly going through atm), writing I still do (although I haven't really had much inclination of late). Like gadgets in general but really fell in love with the whole netbook concept. Kinda fell out of the habit of gaming over the years but I still love the odd game of bomberman. Lastly, music... Couldn't live without it :)
Blessed Be,

What an excellent hobby! I do that too! A little over 20 years now. I can see that Quarter Century Wireless Association membership now. Just a few short years away.

I tinker with my SIII LandRover a bit but mostly....

I have a medium sized collection of Acorn computers the from BBC B and Master 128 through to the Archimedes A410/1 and a BBC Acorn A3000 all networked via an Econet... The A410/1 also has Ethernet so I effectively have an Econet to Ethernet bridge too.

My Amiga A1200 has Ethernet as well so it's a fully homogenised network with Acorn, Amiga, PC compatibles, Nintendo Wii and a heap load of modern kit like Blu-ray players and Internet TV's all connected on a 1Gbps backbone with a few TB of NAS storage for everything to be archived to.

When I decorated the house a couple of years ago, I re-wired completely and installed CAT-6 Ethernet in the walls so all the networking throughout the house is wired but "invisible" up to the wall sockets.

That little lot tends to keep me busy :)

I like your style! And did the same while rebuilding my house, at the moment the ground floor is Ethernet, and when I get to upstairs that will be as well, I have a Gigabyte switch in my understands cupboard to run it all.......which will be moved in my loft conversion in a switch cabinet that picked off a site a year ago ;)
