Your frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...

[austinsmirk]

however my ryobi strimmer, hedge trimmer and chainsaw is all working just fine

but I did burn a hole in my fleece top from the exhaust port a little while ago. literally like I'd thought I need to vent my belly button.

Strictly speaking, I didn't need Volumes 1-16 of "Alita: Last Order", but I thought £70 inc P&P was a good price and I enjoyed the original series of manga.

Is that the one with the cross-dressing hermaphrodite anthropomorphic squirrel tentacle rape watersports, or one of the odd ones?

Bought an e39 m5 yesterday, oxford green and one of the last ever made.

Sold my 1m a few months ago and have been browsing pistonheads as I was missing an M car but didn't want to sink £35 k into another one.

Enter the m5! Whist have I one! :lol:

I've never had the opportunity to ask someone with a 1M, why the heck did you sell it? To me it seems like the perfect car.

Good question - in my time I have had a lot of M Cars including an e90 M3 and a CSL - I believed the 1M would be a perfect balance.

However, I live in central london and it just didn't quite suit my requirements as I always felt concerned leaving it anywhere and town driving just makes you frustrated.

So we sold it and bought an Abarth for the town driving and I just picked up the e39 m5 to scratch the itch.

could have had an apple tv to stream media or a roku... but no... not me:

Already had a Raspberry Pi

So bought the following:







Should be all here in next few days and then get XBMC working again as the user of the device:

stick to the tell and Im away... could have done it so much cheaper and easier... but no.

Genuine tea out of nose here.

I need a new mini keyboard for the media centre; would be interested to know what you think of that one.

(My media streamer has an i5, 8Gb of RAM and a nVidia 650Ti....)

Will ignore the fact you chose the SD Card picture, but sure give me a few days, the package has arrived today (im in the office) and will try it out with the kit as it all finally arrives.

I picked this one as it got 4.3 out of 5 (33 Reviews) and mentioned that someone had used it on a Raspberry Pi.

So got that rather than this one:

Also I have got used to the Blackberry style that the one I have got offers, so thought it would be easier to type.

is it wrong to admit, I have no idea what purpose all those electric bits serve: other than to guess its something to do with controlling your TV ?

[George7]

Bought another one of these:



I already have one as a dashcam, but decided to get a 2nd for general purposes (not sure what yet). I'll probably use it to experiment with different camera angles in the car, and perhaps eventually use it as a rear dashcam.

It means I can now stream from my Media Server (Server in a cupboard) that has all my ripped DVDs, to the media streamer (little box) wirelessly, as such I can now watch any of those DVDs on my TV via the HDMI cable plugged into the TV from the media streamer.

The person who is using it only needs to play with the blackberry device to access the entire library.

[spud989]

I have the exact same setup, save for the remote. I use both versions of this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rii-2-4GHz-Wireless-Keyboa...

One at my house and one at my folks'. Both do the job reasonably.

Paired up with my Synology DS214+ and it does everything I need and more in a reliable way for streaming purposes
