Under The Bed?

Comment comment by VnutZ on 10 March 2008

Dell Latitude C840 Laptop - folded up under my bed running a linux server and serving as the OmniNerd test server as well as the gateway to my network from the outside, wired.

So that's why you were complaining about the ClamAV scanner whirring up your fans at night. I thought you heard the laptop from another room, I didn't realize it was under your bed!! At least the annoying sound keeps the monsters away - you should be thanking me.

That can't be the only COAX connector in your house. I have a two way coax splitter from Radio Shack so I can use the same jack for my TV signal and broadband signal. You could then move that laptop somewhere else. It also allows me to wire my Apple Cube directly via ethernet since back in 2000 when it was built, 802.11b was the only wireless available. That Cube sits beside the TV (because it's the coolest looking Mac) and serves out digital movies, DVDs and TV shows.

My house was built in 1908. They didn't seem to have networking in mind. Idiots!
