So yesterday afternoon I spent a few hours chatting with a mate of mine, Tim from One Inch Pixel, in regards to the perfect streaming setup.

Before I get into the our failed attempts let me first describe my setup and my requirements.

I have three main areas of my network in my house:

So I'm sitting at my computer late at night waiting for a download to finish, I start browsing around my regular blog feeds and then what do I come across? It appears Mr Cult himself, Steve Jobs, is in the news in a live blogging by Engadget.

I, like many others, hate my mobile phone.

I've been using an i-mate Smartphone2 for many months now, however it's just on loaner. The last phone I actually owned (Nokia 3230) was put through the washing machine, and I am still paying it off on contract.

I love music; I work in IT I'm able to listen to music while I work so therefore I listen to alot of music.

I have a black 60gig 5th generation iPod for my portable music needs and I have a Windows Media Center 2005 system for my primary home theater solution.

Months and months ago, maybe even a year has passed now, I came across a big problem with my music collection. It appears that iTunes and Windows Media Center/Windows Media Player like to store some of there meta-information differently, primarily the Album Art.

Well it's been a while, but finally Deciphered.Net is once again here.

I recently got the urge to re-install Drupal onto my hosted web space and see what comes of it. Currently I am using one of the default Drupal themes and only have basic features running, but this will likely change as time goes by. Many ideas may come to fruition and many others may not, it all comes down to the time I have available to do so and how long the ideas manage to hold my extremely short attention span.
