So, nearly a year since my last post, and my robot project has gotten nowhere. My poker project is in another country, on another computer, and I live in Munich.
After losing my old job in London, I spent a month "unemployed", and then got a new job. In Germany.
Since I've been here, I've decided that the project I should really undertake is one I'd thought of a few times, but never knew how to go about it until I heard the fateful word nettop. Technology moves fast, and now I'm thinking I could build myself a DVR/DVB-T decoder/Blu-Ray player for under €500 (maybe closer to the €300 mark). All I need is a mITX motherboard, a suitable case, a quiet HDD or SSD, a slim Blu-Ray drive, a TV tuner card, Linux, MythTV, some cables, some screwdrivers, a HD-Ready television and a couple of days to put it all together.
So next month I'm going to start on it. I'm going to scare up the parts and tools, and I'm going to build myself a kick-ass small computer for a very specific purpose.
I'll post more about parts and progress later.
