You'll say that after a whole afternoon trying to id an unknown ISA ethernet card that refuses to connect, or detect properly with any flavour of linux at all.. Just in the process of shoving xp on a p133 in a fruitless attempt to find out just WTF these cards are... Geek value.. Nah..it's more like..

i fixed a couple posts further up the page..

..still haven't got my camera working, an expensive doorstop by the look of it so far; anyways, i've bought some new bits and bobs, nothing major though.

At the moment i'm using one of these cheap & cheerful USB2.0 enclosures for my 120MB MP3 hard drive -



..works a treat and i move it easily and transparently between my Linux laptop and Windows/Linux Burner PC, USB is excellent when you get a decent chipset :)

But for no reason whatsoever i've bought two of these (only wanted one but it was rude to not get another) with a 250GB drive to replace the 120GB enclosure for MP3's to future proof myself a bit (i sure do like my music) -


(lots of nice lights and buttons).

These are the Belkin burner enclosures i swear by (i've had 2 for the longest time, just bought another 2) -




i also have a new corner of the room all sorted but it'll have to keep 'til i get camera working but i'm pondering buying another PC or two anyways.

Finally able to send a picture of how I'm setup at university. The room's a mess, so apologies for that!
The hifi speakers are on the floor because at present there's nowhere else to put them. They were going to be used as speakers for the communal xbox 360 we have. The black box on the floor is the 120W subwoofer.
