The networky bits of the loft ...

I've a couple of switches in the loft - one for the PoE network (including the cameras) and one for the gig e network. This is going to change, but for now ...

Hiding under the header tank for the central heating .. the existing support wasn't quite wide enough for a 19 inch rack, but it has enough room to mount the switches vertically! That's Fireball on the left.

... and a lovely table for an iMac G3 - it's running a 2007 version of YellowDog Linux right now, on its huge 13.5 GB drive - great though if you need to log into something quickly. It seems to have more or less survived being off for the last 10 years, but flashes over occasionally, and the screen geometry is a little off whack now. Bless her.
