About This Site
Sharing things I have managed to do (usually so I don’t forget how I did them) plus a few thoughts thrown in for good measure. All about technology one way or another.

Ubiquiti USG Home Setup
I treated myself to an Ubiquiti UniFi Security Gateway (USG) this week, bought off Netxl but Via Amazon (as it was cheaper). The setup was not quite as straightforward as the AP I installed a couple of months ago. In … Continue reading
