    Been offline the last couple of weeks. Been completing a garage conversion, its now got two "rooms" and a remaining storage area. Moved the phone socket out there from the main bedroom which my mother inhabits when she's here, so there's no phone line strung around to get tangled up in her walker.

    So the BBS, and the rest of the antique and other equipment has a new home. Carpet went in last Thursday getting the whole thing finished. Cheer, I was getting over it a tad... I've done the lot save carpet and wiring... A man's got to know his limitations as they say.

    Will have to look into some decent storage and bench space in here. 2x desk
    and an old TV cabinet aren't terribly efficient.

    This sounds like a good move and glad it's working out OK :)

    Golly you have been busy, want to come do my place? ;-p

    It's cool the gear has a new home.

    Well to be fair some of us have even less space, but I have been trying to find more too :)

    That's nice! Well done!

    Myself, I've placed all the BBS/hardware stuff on a shelf in a closet -- that'll have to do for now... Non-manageable and very cheap/lightweight switches hanging in the air, due to rather sturdy CAT6 cable... :-D

    I need to house, a Theucs NAS, a repurposed Sophos UTM110, and and old
    Shuttle XTC box in terms of processing. There's also the NBN box (National Broadband NTU) and its router. Its taking up about half of a large desk at
    the moment. So something similar will reduce its footprint significantly.

    Good ol' cat 6. I got lucky at the recycle centre some time back and came
    home with 3xCat6 leads brand new in packaging for a couple of bucks.
