"But I'm not sure if I really belong in your basement!"  :-D  Love the

You obviously have a web server running - suffice it to say that's more
complex than 99% of home users out there.  It suggests your network is
well secured - you probably know your stuff.

However http://www.dnsstuff.com/ locates an IP using an "A" record DNS
lookup which is probably correct (or at least it's the IP of your
webserver) and your location, which is wrong if your Slim Devices
profile is correct.  That seems to imply a network location resolution
error, which is common - it either thinks I'm in "Lobo Township",
Kingston, 5 hours away, or Hamilton, 1-1/2 hours away.  Right now it
thinks I'm in Edmonton, probably 1000 miles or more away!  Or it could
imply that you're running an offsite server.  The text on your webpage
doesn't suggest this, however.

Just an interesting find.  I lack the skills to do anything else with
it.

Since you closed your ports 9000 and 3483, I can't browse your music
collection to find an apropos song, add it to your playlist, and start
it playing.  I'm not mean enough to run a portscan, but who knows what
it might locate.
