Technical Capers

I wrote a piece using only free instruments from The Crow Hill Company

My kids regularly tell me that my sense of humour is terrible. What can you do? Sample their complaints and turn it into a nineties banger!

Getting Wake on LAN packets between IP subnets is easy.. right?

Where I go on an adventure to integrate my new LG TV and Sound Bar with Home Assistant. Of course, it works! But how to turn the thing on...
