running cable sucks
it’s not enough that i have to run cable at work, but having to do it at home as well is hideous. i decided that i wanted to be able to use some of my ps3′s media capabilities and found that streaming video and music via wi-fi was an exercise in excruciating frustration. i got a bug up my ass to run some cat5 from my office/computer room to the living room without making a huge mess. i did this by boring a 5/16″ hole in the wall near the baseboard in the spare bedroom and the closet in the office and fed 101 feet of cable through it. all that i’ve got left to do is coil the cable up and dress it with rj45′s and it should be good to go. i also set up uShare (a upnp filesharing daemon based on gmediaserver) to serve my music collection + any other ps3 compatible media via gbE. woot.
