This is what #1 took to play with at nursery today.
#1 calls this his Jeff Car. He likes the snake on it and it reminds him of the Jeff Corwin programme that we have seen on TV.
Camper Van
Here’s a picture of a VW Camper Van that #1 and I put together yesterday. He’s very proud of what he made.

What the son sees
This is what happens when you give a camera to a three year old. Eldest son took these while we were visiting family. I’m not going to give a commentary this is just what he finds interesting.
NAS Drive
For my birthday I bought a 2TB NAS unit. I spent ages looking at different types and was going to get a LG NAS until I saw an Iomega unit in PC World in BlueWater Shopping centre with quite a good price reduction. I did some internet searching that evening and went back the next day to buy the Iomega unit.
I got the Iomega StorCentre ix200 Cloud Edition there are some good things about it and some things that to be honest I don’t understand and can’t be bothered to invest the time to understand.
I use the NAS to store movies, iTunes libraries and eventually I will categorise all our photos on it. I can stream content to the PS3 and iPhones and laptop which is useful. I can also access it via the web should I feel like it! Here’s a list of functions I won’t be using:
- Flickr upload folder – automatically uploads to Flickr
- Bit Torrent download automatically
- Time Machine
- Print Server
- Cloud backup
- Facebook folder (see this about Facebook)
- You Tube upload
I have the two 1TB drives configured as RAID0 at the moment which, as far as I understand it, means they copy each other for data redundancy. If I ever need the extra space I’ll turn that off as I also back up photos and video files to DVD. Can you have too much redundancy?
