What is new in your little world?

I have 2 as well. A One with Alexa and a Five for the bedroom. I might get another One for the kitchen and a three for the middle floor.

Just added my NAS with 70gig of music and my SoundCloud account. Happy as Larry!

Going to get the playbase when we get a new TV, move the one into the kitchen and another play:1 for the bedroom.

Oohhh nicely done on the NAS drive. I've not got a NAS set up, I do my music through Spotify.

Let me know how the playbase is; I'm interested to hear how it performs. Interested in the sub to go with it?

Re: What is new in your little world?

I opened my last Christmas present at lunch

and the Lego Technic set 42065 and a Tracked RC Racer.
(RC being remote controlled and not radio controlled)

A lovely and quick build.and good fun.

It's 5 models in 1 but I built the cat with my kids because my daughter fell in love with it when she saw it.
It's great fun and my kids love playing around with the "programming" app on the iPad. It allows you to program behavior based on various sensor inputs (optical sensor that can distinguish colors, mic, gyro sensor) and connect to the model through Bluetooth.

Mobile phones

I bought the Mrs a new mobile for Christmas and I tried for a couple of hour this afternoon to unlock a supposedly unlocked mobile.
Short story, Telco

Google

All good and I now have a spare mobile handset that costs $5AUD for the next 365 days so I am happy as Larry

It's possible. She makes interesting google searches if left unchecked. A few days ago she managed to bring up google sheets and load a CV template. About time she started earning her keep.

I thought you died. I was prepared to take all your stuff, including rainbow chicken.
