Always a good idea to use a shrink wrap when you know the work has been 
tested and is final. I simply choose friction tape because a) this type 
of splice is always hidden from view, b) the mess is much quicker to 
undo and c) the client will change his/her mind usually thirty minutes 
after you finish and then again a year later when his/her SO decides to 
redecorate. Rinse and repeat.

I've finally been able to get away for a day and reassembled the studio 
to cook up some very overdue wiki food. The family room plasma will be 
getting a permanent frontend one of these days and the machine will most 
likely end up under the stairs. I'll run the IR today using a PVR-350 
receiver, two unused pairs of an existing telco run, RJ45 connector, 
RJ45 keystone jack, and some punchdown/soldering tools.
