Really! Let's ramble about home networking. I've always been turned on by technology.
Have to know how things work. Ever since I was a kid. I stripped apart my first toaster at 8. Then on to bigger and better things. Like my Dad's stereo. Not my best idea, but I got it apart and back together before he got home from work. Which brings me to «Home networking from scratch». This evolving pet project now sports a wired LAN, wireless access point, web proxy with content filtering, DNS server, NAS, automated nightly backups, 2 print servers, firewall, all of it powered by a UPS that gracefully shuts down the goodies if needed (yes, I had to compile source code; I love it)
Next: shopping for parts, or how overkill can be worth it!
