I had an unused Mini-ITX computer which I can make silent (by removing the fan) as long as it isn't doing anything too intensive, and some spare speakers from a broken CD player... so I put together some remote speakers to play music on.

With some cheap bamboo cane and tie wraps I've mounted them at the head of my bed. The server boots over the HomePlug network allowing MPD to connect to it. I'll add a wireless remote control soon.

The back is now on and there are a lot of bent nails in my bin.

It fits quite well in the space available.

Unfortunately not all the books do.

Apparently some people think I can't put together a bookcase... it only wobbles a little bit.

I'll wait until tomorrow morning to make lots of noise putting the back on.

I've finally finished putting together the parts to connect multiple NTP reference clocks to the same serial port...

It uses three reference clocks - one GPS receiver and two radio clocks (DCF77 and MSF).

I'm putting in coax cables to redistribute the TV signal around the house and needed to put an extra socket in my room. Unfortunately there's a piece of wood right behind where I cut the hole...
