Getting the cat into the Christmas spirit

I think I'm tripping on acid the government must have slipped into my milk....

Since the loft is gonna be my bedroom once the conversions done, Im trying to plan out how to network stuff up. Part of me wants to jump on the Wireless AC boat and get a wireless AC supported access point and have everything pretty much run wirelessly instead of having cables run all over the room or just have things hooked up via powerline. Im trying to minimise the amount of cable clutter.

AC has the potential for 1300mbps bandwidth if you get an access point that has two Ethernet ports for throughput. But they might be pricey.

Pretty much every modern AP developer has a model that has performance aggregation (they;re all £300+). For personal use, look at the UniFi AC AP, it's the cheapest AP with performance aggregation (1300mbps via 2 cables).

You will need a 3x3 spacial stream wireless card in your PC in order to get the full bandwidth. I recommend if you go for a cheap wireless router, make sure it's 3x3, and get yourself a 3x3 wireless card. That's the best way to get bandwidth without performance aggregation, you'll just top out at around 833mbps link speed on normal access points.

I think i will just stick to powerline for that price....

My wifi is mainly for portable devices like smartphones, tablets & occasionally mine or a guests laptop when they visit.

I think i will shift the same setup upstairs then decide what i need if i need to make changes.

yeah, I prefer using 500mb powerline kits too.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

@RCoon i mainly use a 600mb powerline kit as that has a gigabit Ethernet port on it instead of a 10/100mbs port. honestly cant wait to get moved in!

Next stop is a porch and a shotgun.

I have the shotgun, can anyone contribute a decent porch?

I have the tools at my disposal to build said porch, however I have none of the skills required!

What happened? PC Games ruined your career opportunities? I was supposed to go and do an English degree , instead I spent 12 months playing Diablo II and CS 1.6. Now I work in IT.

My love for wrecking school computers got the better of me and i wanted to learn how to fix them. I was only gonna take 1 year of IT engineering but i ended up doin 3 or 4 years.

@RCoon Check out this band and see if you like

they have an 80s synth sound but its like modern pop/industrial similar to nightcall my Kavinsky

Most of the tracks by T.B.M reminds me of TRON for some reason.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Doin a bit of late night surfin and came across this....

Its amazing to see how posh & becks were back then compared to now. Posh was having the time of her life in this interview but these days she seems all serious like and I havent seen her smile like she has in this video for a very very long time. Becks is kind of the same. In a way you could say that they matured or 'grew up' They both seemed to have lost that bubbly & childish part of their personalities which is a real shame

she looks lovely there, a bit of life in her.
On a total tangent, I've ordered a Huawei Honor 6 (smartphone), it should be here tomorrow, i'm so excited!

Should have waited for an Oppo Find 7/7A - Amazon are now doing pre-orders for that phone and its fucking amazing

 

[MightyMission]

do you know, I ordered the honor 6 from china about 6 months ago and had such a mare with it..i didn't realise I couldn't use the TDD version in UK, so I sent it back and its only now that it's available in the FDD format in the UK that I want to give it another shot,,though they're still selling on ebay for more than i paid so maybe the oppo or one+two might be an option if I still cant get to grips with the honor.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I Pre-ordered the Find 7 directly from Oppo as they were discounting and giving away free accessories with it. It was definitely the international version i ordered and Its working fine with Three & EE. I know there were Non-Euro/International ones that some people had bought off ebay too that didnt work with 4G in the UK. very good handset for the price. The only downside for some people is that it is a bit of a phablet - Its around the size of a Note 3

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Well..... It was a long uphill struggle to get my holiday sorted out - but Im pretty much off for the ENTIRE month now so have some booty on me!!!
