I had put this in the wiring for multimedia but it should probably have a thread of its own. Just some gadgets I have in the house, anyone got anything else cool theyed like to share or give ideas to others about?
anyway, heres my wireless setup..
Wireless 802.11g (get nearly constant 54mbps) LAN providing web access to 3 laptops. Broadband supplied from BT at 2mbps.
Got an old laptop with a wireless dongle under the TV for web access on the TV, then got a 250gb disk (thanks aldi) with all my music on it hooked up to the laptop which has the headphone socket going to spare channel on the home movie system. Change AV channel on the tv to the laptop, have musicmatch or media player running, no more loading cds. Wireless keyboard and mouse to run the laptop.
Most recent useful wireless feature I got was a socket set that switches on and off from a remote control. aldi had them before xmas but I believe B&Q do them. Basically means I can control all sockets in the house (got 4 recievers in the set from aldi) from a small remote. Handy when going to bed or switching on the heating from the bed in the morning!!
