Orac doesn't get enough use, partly because my life as a software rodeo star means that I'm on the road more than off, and partly because I normally end up doing most of what I want on my MacBook.
However, my New Year's Resolution ( dated 14 August 2014 ) is that I am going to do MUCH MUCH MORE with my various pieces of home PC equipment, including: -
- Raspberry Pi
- Apple Mac Mini
- ~8 year old Thinkpad R50e
- Humax PVR
- Synology DS440 NAS
Now what's the reason for this sudden (re)interest in my home technology ?
Well, partly, it's the fault of Stephen Tiberius Gibson Esq, who is the expert witness on the excellent SecurityNow podcast ( on iTunes ).
More to come .....

Well it's obviously the Orac like perspex computer on the left :D
Do you have a key for it too?
Well, I have a USB Key, and it's (hopefully) not a BAD USB Key :-)
Come on, you need a real Orac key...

I'm on it .... :-)
Oooooh. Humax. I have one of those too. Hope you've installed the customised firmware. Wouldn't be as useful without it.
@Dragon - No, I'm still using the OOB firmware on the Hummy, haven't yet seen a really compelling reason to "crack" it :-)
The editing, the remote management, the automatic decrypting, the plugins you can write for it... the list is quite long and impressive. http://wiki.hummy.tv/wiki/Custom_Firmware_Overview
