My Stuff

A lot of people come to this site searching for help on specific issues with or opinions/info a specific gadget or technology.  For that reason, I thought I’d state publicly the gadgets and technologies I use (embarrassing though that may prove).

• Wireless Media Streamer Buffalo LinkTheater
  Streams video (most divx/xvid and wmv9) and/or music to my TV from a DLNA compliant server like the Linkstation Live or Windows Media Player’s built-in media sharing service.
• 500GB Home NAS Buffalo LinkStation Live (HS-DH500GL)
  Can store video and music files and stream them over a wireless network to a DLNA certified media streaming device like my LinkTheater.
• Mobile Phone – Nokia N73 smartphone
  5 megapixel camera, Symbian/Series 60 OS, currently on Orange Pay As You Go
  
• Nintendo Wii
• PlayStation 2 (Slimline)
  
• Wireless ADSL Modem/Router – Netgear DG834G
  Old version 1; basic but functional.
  
• Laptop PC – Acer Aspire 5003 wlmi dual-booting Windows XP and Ubuntu
• Desktop PC
  My main computer is one I built up myself and upgraded over the years, specced as follows:
  • Asus A7V333 motherboard
  • 1.5GB DDR RAM
  • Athlon XP 2400+ CPU
  • Windows Vista Business
  • Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter
  • 19″ LG M198WA widescreen TFT Monitor/TV combination
  • 17″ CRT Monitor

So, if you’ve any questions on any of the above, please let me know. Oh and I also have broadband with Plus.net (who are excellent) where £15 a month gets me 8Mbps and 15GB usage (unlimited from midnight to 8am) and I have web hosting with WebHostingBuzz.com where I have a reseller account for just $5 a month.
