My CCTV system that I put in heavily uses POE. The switches I have can supply both 24V and 48V POE.
The cameras use 48V and the Point To Point Wireless heads use the 24v. Save's a lot of extra hassle with PSU's etc.

Also, with things like Arduino and RasPi, you can put power out to them where you don't have hand sockets for a USB power supply.
Now, EOP, thats a different matter, no I haven't tried it, but did consider it for the project above. The problem I had was that I have two phases in the house and don't think the EOP can go between them, or if there is it is very expensive (haven't looked though), and the only way I could think of at the time was to wireless link, so just stick to wireless instead.
My FIL uses EOP in his house and it works fine for his needs, fine that is until the wall adapter crapped itself, but fortunately he had a spare compatible one in a drawer to save the day.

These were on sale years ago, but not much use unless you have fast broadband coming in.

On Sunday we're having some friends over for lunch, the menu is:
- Nicoise Onion Tart with Charentais Melon Salad
- Moroccan Lamb Tagine with Ras el Hanout and Couscous
- Honey and Walnut Tart with Creme Anglais
And yes there will be lashings of wines, all selected and ready to go.
Now. What is your weekend shaping up to be?

You obviously need to add more countries to your lunch!

Well the wines are Italian, Spanish and Hungarian.

British Summer Time, in the rain at Hyde Park, smashed off my face watching the best band ever (The Libertines). As well as The Pogues, The View and The Enemy to name but a few.
P.S. Creme Anglais is Custard you ponce.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but it's a poncey AND pretentious meal.
|

No, this[^] is custard.
Crème Anglaise is "proper custard" and is made with real food...

Creme Anglaise is made slightly differently to Custard, but the ingredients are to all intent the same.
|
|
|
|

Untrue: Custard contains...well...sugar, starch, and manufactured chemicals, mostly[^] with yellow colourant to make it look egg based.
"Proper custard" contains:
280ml (½ pint) milk
1 vanilla pod
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
75g caster sugar
And a lot of hope that it doesn't overheat and split!
Not saying Custard isn't nice - it is, with Golden Syrup Sponge, or Treacle Tart, or Jam Roly-poly, or...
But it's not the same, and it's not as good!

I would say I never use custard powder but that is a blatant lie.  )
Real custard is made by stirring the milk infusion into the beaten egg yokes.
With Creme Anglais the yokes & sugar are whisked together and then the hot milk is whisked in. Then everything is whisked again in a bain marie to thicken.
See, I does know some stuff.

|

I only ever make custard in a bain marie.
Well, a bowl over a pan full of boiling water, anyway.

Sounds good, so I'll come and join you. Be sure to set one more plate, and stock a couple of bottles of wine more. 
What? That wasn't an open invitation?

...it's a Master Socket Splitter[^], if that's relevant...Thanks to @DaveAuld for the idea that these even existed, and the Fleabay link.
But...FleaBay offered me a "new way to speed up PayPal payments and improve my FleaBay experience".
Basically, you can link PayPal and FleaBay, so FleaBay retain your PayPal info, and you press "Buy" and "PayPal" and it all happens in the background without an explicit PayPal login.
Um. Is it just me, or does that sound like something I don't want to get involved in to you as well? It isn't that I don't trust FleaBay to be honest and not just sell me anything they fancy; it isn't that I don't want to risk the cat playing with the computer and buying a car... though (FleaBay is permanently logged in, PayPal isn't)
It's that I don't really trust FleaBay security that much. They have never really needed to be "money secure" since they don't deal with money - PayPal does that. So how likely is it that the database code came from QA? 
Any thoughts?

There's some tuna in the fridge, but of chilli pickle and it'll make a nice sandwich for my lunch.

Tuna?
TUNA?

Today I am eating various leftovers. But tuna with a good hot chutney is surprisingly good.

I've been doing this for a bout a year and it makes it easy to purchase items but if you don't buy a lot there's no point.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Don't do it. That's pretty much the same option as Amazon's OneClick, and on several occasions Amazon added rubbish to the order of the article I wanted to one-click-order without me being given a chance to decide against the added stuff. The good thing is, you can cancel Amazon orders, but this is not so easy on FleaBay.
