Maybe it's not a finger ring

 

I'm high in the clouds. It's to go with my new mop and bucket I bought the other day.

 

Careful, it's a slippery slope from here. Next thing you know you'll be leaving the supermarket with a feather duster, a 5 pack of yellow cloths and a can of Pledge.

 

Don't get me started on Marigolds.

 

That's what I was getting at

 

I should have known. Kinky Jinq-sea.

 

Hahahaha. Oh dear. My 'reputation' precedes me!

 

Nope a me gift been meaning to replace my white gold one which is wearing quick for a while now just been waiting for work to finally give me my six months back pay.

 

^^^ **** just got real.


Meanwhile I got this:



For my next HTPC build. Thin ITX, 10W TDP passively cooled, able to handle 5 HD streams simultaneously at 50% CPU load, CIR header, HTPC header. This. Is. THE. HTPC. Board.

 

I personally solved my HTPC needs with http://www.zotac.com/products/mini-...uct/zbox-c-series/detail/zbox-ci320-nano.html . I just need to get that CIR working with Plex

I fully accept that it is only a matter of time before I get one of these.

 

I fully accept that it's only a matter of time before I buy a second one for work...

Anyway, we were talking about HTPCs, weren't we?

I'm replacing my RaspBMC running Pi model B VESA mounted HTPC in the kitchen with something much anticipated and much more awesome:

Raspberry Pi 2B + full starter kit (not needed but none of it will go to waste!);



I'll be running the new OSMC

With the Pibow Ninja case:

Also paid for a 3 year service of my T-Touch Expert Titanium which hasn't been worn recently but I really want to start wearing again. An eye watering £170 to get it done by Tissot themselves, expensive for a non-mechanical
