For those of you using SqueezeBox Server to play music this might be of interest:

http://squeezeplug.de/

Just 10 days ago I bought a Sheeva Multi Boot plug computer from NewIT (size 110mm x 69.5 mm x 48.5 mm) to run my SqueezeBox server. 

Works fine: I can select my music from an iPad without a noisy and power consuming computer or NAS turned on. The plug is absolutely noiseless and consumes about 5 watt/hour.

But had I waited just a few more days I could have used the above link to install the server on Raspberry PI (size of a credit card)...

Now I have to put up with a devise which already seems old and clumsy...

 

Only consolation: maybe the grapes are sour, said

With the arrival of these new little Linux Raspberry PI, options to tinker

play and automate everything in and around your house or even business is a

possibilty.

 

You are going to have to learn how to use Python

(http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers), and that will

take a couple of weeks to master or at least become dangerious with.

With the new Raspberry PIs, on there way we can all become kids again. ;-)
