New NAS device
Went to the hobby messe (exhibition) in Stuttgart on Monday. Didn't really want to go, but as I got there at 9 am, it was really empty, and I managed to see nearly everything in about 90 minutes, a new record. Unfortunately, there wasn't as many stalls as usual, but enough. I bought a NAS device for at home. Its a little box with embedded linux, that you can put a hard drive into, and then access via ftp or smb (MS shares). 109 euro for the box, and then I added an old 160 GB hard drive. Now I can access my data from around the world, without leaving a computer on at home, or have to open up my firewall to an internal computer. COOL. I bought it from ARLT, the home page for the device is www.flipo.de
