Re: What would you do differently?

["UKHA" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd

1. NOT buy a house that has stupid chalky stuff sprayed on the internal
walls meaning you cant drill without getting the while room resprayed.
2. Centralize everything and have just TV's, IR boxes and speakers in rooms
3. Invent CAT5 wallpaper
4. Backup all the software I wrote
5. Proper wiring in the garden ( electricity, lighting, security and
speakers)
6. RoboMow
7. Wouldn't buy the Roomba
8. Embedded trunking all over the place, designed so that it's hidden but
the front can be taken off to add more cables.
9. Aircon in the computer room/node 0 (well the whole house really)
10. Rewire the house to remove star wiring.
11. CeBUS
12. Underfloor heating
13. Motorized external blinds
14. Change the semi-circular window in the livingroom so that it could be
opened completely (bringing the garden into the house)
15. Under floor sub-woofers
16. Not pass up the offer of a projector for watching movies
