and it keeps on rolling
Work continues to drag on. This marks my third consecutive weekend of work and the days seem to blend together now. I dream of the office, with it’s grey walls and carpets. Breathing the outside air, seeing the sun, enjoying my time away from the office are all but memories. My body is tired. My mind is numb. I think I’m coming down with strep throat, or the flu, or something. I need some time off.
I finally did it. I finally “hacked” my router at home with the DD-WRT firmware. Why it took me so long? I haven’t any idea. But had I know it was so darned simple to do, I would have done it much sooner. So far I really haven’t had time to play with any of the new features. I can say that it has a much cleaner no-frills user interface which I really like. It has all the base functionality that my LinkSys WRT54G had before, plus more. If I wanted to, I can boost the signal strength beyond the factory settings, breaking FCC rules, but giving me much more range. Apparently you can enable “Afterburner” which is some kind of speed enhancement for devices that support that. Not sure if I’m going to bother with that. I’m really looking forward to enabling OpenVPN. Although it looks a bit complex, I think it will be really cool to securely log into my home network.
Too… much… apathy… to continue… sigh.
