@scottalanmiller I use my totally custom electrically separated dual monoblocks in my Denon PMA-550 chassis, which has ridiculously good quality switches in it, and dual tube-based phono preamps. I love that amp, I'll never sell it.

I've been a B+W user for decades. Not my favorite, that's Totem, but very good.
I have a pair of B&W in wall speakers on my wall mounted TV.. they sound pretty good.
Now wall mounting them.... not audiophile, lol.
in wall Even worse
In ceiling, even worse.
The newest fanciest smanshiest surround sound tech actually has speakers that are supposed to be ceiling mounted. Just to make matters even worse, lots of companies designed speakers to reflect sound off the ceiling to emulate that/those channel(s).
Yup. Even high end (non-hi fi) has done this for decades to get an effect. Check out old dipolar and bipolar and other back channel speaker designs. They have always done some funky things.

We've got heavy rain in the back yard and bright sun in the front.

Sounds like spring time around my house.

Finally getting back to a computer during the day. Kiddo has kept us busy the last couple of days!

We have to go coat shopping.

Once we got there we figured out that my wife is delusional and had no idea why I would own a heavy coat. So we came right back.

Drinking my morning coffee, reading @scottalanmiller 's SAM Learning Linux Admin segments like a morning paper..
-
Just switched from my phone to my laptop as the phone died. Watching my SIL play Tropico 4.

Getting ready to take my puppy to the vet for his yearly visit.

OMG, some new poster on SW can't figure out if the so insanely obviously free SpiceWorks software is free, or if it is $500,000 a year to run.
Really? How can you not figure out it is free, just go to the site. And seriously, what software cost $500K a year for one user AND shows ads! This guy actually things that millions of people deploy software at half a million dollars a year? SpiceWorks would be earning TRILLIONS in profits a year. TRILLIONS!!! They'd be doing weird things like funding their own space exploration program and buying other planets. They'd have entire development teams working from undersea research stations in the Mariana Trench... just because they could. Their spokesperson would be the Queen of England and Donald Trump would make them coffee.

How do people get confused by this?

Anyone ever use ooma for VoIP at home? My friend does and swears by it. Apparently you pay for the appliance and like 2-3$ a month for the taxes of having a phone number and that's it. Only one phone though.

I hve heard of them,... but never looked at them. Had Vonage for years, and when we moved into the house, didn't renew. That was eleven years ago. We have our mobile phones and that is it.

So cheap to have a full PBX, as IT folks, why consider anything else? voip.ms plus a hosted FreePBX instance is super powerful, great learning, so many more features and so important for your career, why look at consumer services when you can go to full enterprise for barely more money (couple extra dollars?)

I wouldn't buy it but i think its kind of nice for non-tech people to come into this century

I can understand why non-IT people don't do a PBX for their own home, but for IT people I pretty much only understand doing nothing at all or going all out. Your phones are one of the few home production systems that you have to run. We make such a big deal of our home labs and normally we have to contrive any use case for them (when do we REALLY need a wiki at home, or Active Directory or even backups?) but phones, firewalls and mass media storage are the exceptions where we can run production, heavily used things at home to get experience that rivals office experience. Why pass it up?

@scottalanmiller Considering after my initial setup, setting it up at my relatives places so we can video conference
