WRT54GL
In the very near future I am going to have to move all my computers to another part of the house. This is going to require a wireless bridge. This is also going to be the reason I am finally going to get around to installing a 3rd party firmware on a linksys router. I just ordered a linksys WRT54GL, and when it arrives I am going to install DD-WRT v23 on it. I was not looking forward to the computer room move, but now I am. I am already thinking about replacing my current router, (a crippled WRT54G v 5.0) which will become my primary router with the new WRT54GL acting as the client bridge, with a WRT54GL as well. I will hold off on that until I get the computers moved upstairs and the wireless bridge up and running. The good thing about linksys router replacements, is they all look the same to the wife. New toys are invisable if they look identical to the old ones. Maybe I shouldn't have said that:-) It's not like she doesn't know though, I spent 10 minutes telling her what I was going to do, and she didn't understand a word of ti.

Underground the podcast coming soon I hope.
Underground: Tales of hacking, madness and obsession on the electronic frontier is a book written by Suelette Dreyfus with research by Julian Assange. You can find out more at Undergound the book web site.
I have converted the text of this book into audio (mp3 and ogg) using festival and audacity. I have made several attempts to contact the authors of this book, to make sure I had permission to make an audio book of their work available as a podcast. Just this morning I got a reply, and they said "Please do!"
I hope to make these available for download in the near future.
One of the things I have to work out is how I am gonna do this on my libsyn account without going over my monthly upload quota. I will probably just have to be careful and schedule the post. More later...

Photos from the Dominican Republic
I took these pics on the beach today. It's around 87 degrees F here today, but feels cooler on the beach. By the pool though, it's VERY hot. If you love the beach as much as I do, Punta Cana, Domincan Republic is hard to beat. This place is really really nice. It's by far, the nicest beach that I have ever been too.    I decided on which graphic novel to take to read while down here: Crisis on Infinite Earths. This is probably not technically a graphic novel, as it is just the 12 monthly issues, orginally published in 1985, compiled in book form. I enjoyed reading it very much. The wait staff and employees here only make about 150 US dollars a month. One of the waiters here became quite excited when he say me reading a a 300 plus page comic book. He stopped and offered to buy it from me. That, I am told, is VERY unusual; normally the people here are trying to sell you stuff at inflated prices, and you have to go back and forth with them on the price to keep from getting ripped off. I had never had a local offer to buy something from me. The last thing i thought might end up in the hands of a local here was my new comic book. I don't think I could have slept good if I ended up selling him the book; so today I gave it to him. He was very happy about that. It was fun to watch. I hope it doesn't get fired for reading it on the job.
  
It's also been sorta fun using my linux laptop down here in the sports bar too. Everytime I come in here I get to give a linux demonstration. No really, I do linux demonstrations. Noting organized or planned of course, but curious window and mac users haven't been the least bit shy about coming up and asking what kind of computer I am running. It's been funny really; I sit down here and try to get something done, when somebody will walk up and say excuse me what is that you are running. I have shown beryl to at least 2 different curious windows users, and one mac user. They were VERY impressed! To quote one one of the windows users after seeing beryl,"you have just blown my mind". I even had one conversation with a windows user that lasted almost 2 hours; he had LOTS of questions. I was more than happy to talk about linux though. Most of the tourist here are from Europe. I guess I was thinking more Europeans knew about linux, but to the ones here at least, linux was very new to them.
It's been a great vacation, and it's not half over yet

SSH saves the day
While here in the Dominican Republic, using the free wifi, I tried to connect to irc.freenode.net. I kept getting kicked off though--something about the network running an open proxy. No biggie for linux and ssh. I simply ssh'd into my home machine and ran irssi from there. All good now. I could have done the same thing with a ssh port tunnel, but running screen over my ssh session was nice, as I was able to do many things at once.
I hope to post some vacation photos tomorrow.

Greetings from the Dominican Republic
I just found out that the resort I am staying at has free wifi; it's a good thing I brought my laptop. Without the laptop, the resort would have charged me $4/20 minutes for internet access! Speaking of getting ripped off... I left my cell phone on the plane. When I got to the resort, I had the front desk call the airport. Long story short, $66 dollars in taxi fares later, I had my cell phone back. Someone had made 8 calls on it too! Anyway, that's behind me now; It's 86 degrees F and beautiful. I will be the tannest geek on earth by weeks end. I will try to post some pictures. I better get get off the computer now though, before the wife starts complaining.
