I struggled with the title for this post for a bit. I was having trouble trying to explain what it is I’ve been attempting to do here at home. And the reason for that trouble is…um…because I really don’t know what I WANT to do at home.

Obviously I want to sleep, eat, shower, fornicate, poop without anyone knocking…

I digress.

What I meant is what do I want to do with all this computer/music/TV/crap? I want to have a decent (better than average) audio setup at home. This should include quality speakers, access to a large music library and the ability to control it all with relative ease.

So I’ve been toying around with different ideas, different methods, different hardware and software solutions to how to accomplish…uh…whatever the hell it is I’m trying to accomplish.

And amazingly enough I’ve got a pretty good handle on this. That is not normal mind you…usually complicated stuff like this is a pain in the ass, frustrating, and doesn’t quite work out how I want it to.

I plan on writing up a full on page (with pictures, woo hoo!) on what I’ve created but I’m rather proud of what I’ve accomplished today.

Without getting into huge detail (’cause I don’t want to write this whole thing twice) I’ve successfully connected all the computers (2 PC’s and 1 laptop), a printer and a wireless music bridge together. I can access any file from any of the computers (as long as they are on of course!), have any of the computers access the printer, and play any of my music files through the home audio system…using any machine. Right now I’m sitting on the couch in the living room using my laptop to access my PC’s music files and play them through the stereo.

The part that absolutely blows me away was the extreme ease of doing this. I had sorta half assed the whole setup for a while now…but with the installition of one simple bit of software it all came together at once.

Technology is AWESOME.

I think I deleted all the crappy faker comments. I had over 600 of ‘em. That took a while.

Let’s see…the last time I update this was May. It’s early October. We’ll call it roughly 5 months since I posted last.

A couple things have happened since then. One or two.

And I haven’t mentioned any of them. Rats!

I’m not quite sure why I wasn’t doing this. For a while I just didn’t want to. Then sometimes I did, but just didn’t do it. Then I really did want to, and tried to, but I couldn’t remember my password. I had loaned out my laptop (which remembers the password) and when I tried to do it on my PC…nada. I dug around a bit to try and re-discover my password but…

Apathy. Ya know. Like…who cares?

But now I have my laptop again. I can find out my password. There is a lot of crapola to go off about and I know there are some people who really want to see some things or hear about some things or whatever.

So…this is my promise.

I promise nothing.

Yep…absolutely nothing. I promise, right here and now, that I may or may not keep this thing updated. I promise that I may or may not have lots of neat and idiotic things to day. I promise I may or may not share all kinds of pictures and shit with you are. I totally promise to maybe do more.

Hell…even the title of this post is wrong now. Woo hoo! I’m on a ROLL BABY!

But this is a start of something. The something could be nothing, or it could be everything.

And one final note for now…the Month Long Experiment was a bust. Sorry folks, I don’t have the willpower. Or do I…
