This has made me think about my own site, which I coded many months ago. I think I’ll revisit some of the code.

Winamp Remote is a program that site in the system tray of your home PC and allows you to access your music collection from any computer with Internet access. I can’t tell if it’s built on Orb technology or it’s just the same software with Winamp’s logo on it

You used to be able to choose between Windows Media Player and a built-in Flash player (and one other, I think), but I think that option was removed. The interface is a bit slow and it’s annoying to have to wait fof buffering in-between every song, but the quality (from my experience) was as if I had the song on an mp3 player.

It’s still in beta so maybe these will improve. Here’s what the web interface looks like:

Cool website I found for people that want their computer to be as quiet as possible. You’ve never seen heatsinks so huge in your life. They suspend their hard drives too. They get some material like a rubber band and actually suspend it inside the case. There are some nuts in the forums. One guy made a custom weatherproof case and mounted it outside his window.

But it’s still cool though. My computer could be a little quieter.
