I'd be lying if I said the past couple of weeks were miserable. Besides my router/firewall box dying, having to RMA my main machine's hard drive, and spend money I didn't have on a more powerful battery backup, I've actually had the chance to clean up a lot of my home network infrastructure as well as various files I don't need anymore.
Last week was my "week" as well. Hard drive failing on my main machine, CPU overheating, power supply upgrade didn't fix anything, phone was acting up for a day.
Good times! : )
Despising the fact that I play the role of "the computer guy" on a daily basis, I flirt with trying other aspects in the computing realm. Having already confessed that I'm a jack of all trades (master of none), I am even more apologetic in the area of programming.

How do I get my Iphone, Ilaptop, Iwhatever to receive Shoutcast radio while I'm driving in my car? I was thinking maybe I could cancel my satellite Sirius-XM and just go with "free" internet radio.
Look for "Tuner" by NullRiver in the App Store. That, along with an FM Modulator/AUX port in the car, and you're listening to internet radio while driving. I often listen to SomaFM or Demovibes while going to and from work. : )
