This is the blog post I was going to write before I started on about Electric Arms (a reference to a memorable party in my murky past). What I was going to write about was a simple little technical aside regarding a gadget I purchased recently. Wireless broadband has also been a bit hit and miss for me and 90% of the sentient population of the planet so invested is a pair of adapters that send your broadband as a carrier signal over the electrical wiring in your home. Here are the set I bought although there are others http://www.faculty-x.net/homeplug%20tl-pa201.htm 


They work really well. Didn't bother reading the instructions either, I just plugged them in (one at the modem and another wherever you are working) and it worked first time.


It would also solve my Songs From The Shed issue which was discussed here  here http://slmc.myfastforum.org/ftopic2464-20-0-asc-.php only the shed is out of action due to a planning dispute...sigh...
