Love the badge! That'd be great for conventions and trade shows.

I bought myself a DAB Digital radio 'cos no one else took the hints! Also,
a wireless router and network cards.

My friend programmed his to say "I am not a terrorist". Bet that'll score
big points when he goes through airport security! 😀

Yes which? When my wireless Streamium makes it here I will snatch one of
these myself. Been looking at the Linksys WRT54G and the Motorola WR850G
myself.

I've got the WRT54G, and it works quite well. Just replace the firmware
with, say, Satori, and voila. Being able to SSH into your router and
getting a linux shell is neat.

I'm not a heavy user there, though. My main PC is simply plugged in, but
the laptops use it, and it works quite well.

Install the Wondershaper (as found at http://www.lartc.org/) or get a
firmware with the wondershaper built in, and you won't even have
queueing problems when uploading and downloading synchronously on a
cable modem.

I was just going to suggest that.

I posted some instructions in the Sveasoft forums (http://sveasoft.com/) on
how to add iptables commands to give priority to your game packets, so your
game won't lag when someone is doing a heavy file transfer (like P2P or big
uploads). It also works for VOIP, which is also UDP-based.

If you've got another "full-size" Linux box, you can run syslog there in
network server mode, and tell all your syslog-capable appliances (including
Satori firmware and some HP JetDirect printers) to syslog to your Linux
box.

Thanks. I do happen to use VOIP for my phone system. Making a bookmark
now. :^)

Better than it saying "There is not a bomb in my rectum." Bet the
procto-squad would descend like wolves on a lame fawn.

It's a Belkin 802.11g wireless router with built in ADSL modem. Not sure of
the model number.

Works great and the non modem version won networking product of the year
from Computer Shopper magazine.

I have had to reset it a couple of times, but other than that no problems or
complaints.

I got a digital camera. It's not the greatest, but it was cheap ($40)
with 3.1 Megapixels.

I also got an Xecuter 3, installed it, fried a trace on it when the alt
5v connector touched the metal portion of the inside of the XBox case,
then managed to bypass the burnt trace with a wire. There's just
something neat about playing Commodore 64 games on an XBox. :)

Beats my 2.2 Megapixel camera. And I paid $300 for that 4 years ago!

Probably loads faster too. I remember having to LOAD "*",8,1 then go
to school, and by the time I got back home, I only had half an hour
wait time before Raid Over Moscow had loaded. ;P

What a coincidence! I just got a new laser with piano string instead
of a laserbeam!

I have MameOx on mine, too. I copied the ROMs I had on a DVD to it. All
4.5 GB worth of them. :)
