This looks cool - I’ve heard good things about the Windows version in the past so I would love to give this a go - any review ones available? (hint hint)…

Looks like a good home NAS if you dont need more than two drives (with 2 * 1TB drives who does ?)

Gadget Update

Well - today I decided to buy an iPhone. Since I live in Australia its not just a simple matter of popping down to my local Apple store…

I met a chap on the iphoneae.com forums who is getting some in the country. AU$500 for an 8GB one and another $10 to unlock it. Hopefully I havnt made a stupid mistake and never see that money again.

Anyway - to pay for this I have to sell my eeePC - its a sad thing but I havnt really been using it much since I have a laptop through work (which is getting upgraded). I’ve been mainly using it as an ebook reader.

I’ll also sell my Palm Treo 680 to pay for this - both are in good condition if anyone is interested
I’ve been looking at cases for my iPhone - I think I will get both of these:

That way it wont get scratched and it wont be bulky in my pocket when I’m walking around town.

Should have it in a couple of weeks (if no problems).

Cool Upgrade - just did it tonight with no problems.

I’m not that fuss on the Photo Sharing but the built in bittorrent client will come in handy
I’m hoping there will be a Crashplan or Amazon S3 client built in next …

Filo Art “IRASC” - infra-red-anti-surveillance-camera

Not many people know - but you can see infrared lights with a video camera really well. I use it myself to check remote controls are working - just get your video camera and point it at the business end of a remote whilst pushing some buttons.

Well you can take this trick and ‘fool’ security cameras - built yourself a headband full of infrared LEDs - and then walk into areas with video cameras without getting ID’d.

Now - whilst this is’nt the most subtle - if you dont have a real live person watching the cameras (eg: a DVR system) then you its a new age version of wearing a balaclava - without the sweaty face afterwards.

Check out the cool ‘my head is replace by a white glow’ pics at the link.
