Heh. In all seriousness tho, I recommend Road & Track. See my Sig (or the workshop list) for more details. -D

hehe yeah thats class -D

Your subtopic says 'looking to do some mods' while SLED and Nightcrawler are married, Heslo might be available but you'd have to PM him to ask the hourly rates ;D -D

I'm into hacking routers and doing funky stuff with them. I generally use DD-WRT Its very feature rich and lets you amplify the transmit signal strength. I've had my linksys transmitting 250mw (up from the standard of 28mw) but now I keep it at the 100mw mark. The cpu (broadcom embedded) is also overclocked from stock 200mhz to 224 and is rock solid without any cooling. The router runs a copy of apache which I use to serve files and also a webpage with my shoutcast server on it (router has 32 megs of ram, more than enough) Next router I get will be an N but it'll definately be one compatible with DD-WRT... great package that... -D EDIT - Just did some looking around. The Linksys WRT350N looks to be like one hell of a nice router. 300mhz, 8 meg of flash, 32 megs ram, gigabit ethernet, hardware crypto for SSL and IPSEC, WPA2, N specification, USB 2.0 port for a HDD caddy or flash drive... you could have a lot of fun with it (or if you're bored, overclock it and run seti@home EDIT2 - or just put a USB hdd on it and run a lightweight linux bittorrent client... ooh la-la EDIT3 - This is the one I have http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...roducts_id=7263 except when I bought mine it was called the GS (linksys are really bad about changing product specs while keeping the same product name - so version numbers are important)... its a good solid unit. The broadcom chips are what u want, the vxworks wrt54's are all shite. And strike the first edit. The WRT610N is the shit - its not DD-WRT compatible YET but the hardware features are very nice, same as above but dual band (with 5ghz transmitter) and 64 megs of ram... you can run a mini-squid cache using the extra 32 gigs and save yourself a bit of bandwidth

Sounds good. If i dont end up entering, I'll pop down for a bit of a gander and a pissup -D

Saw a red stag on portrush today, think it could be stagstocks -D

ever seen Cog or karnivool? I got a few cds from both, they're worth checking out too -D

Right thats a combo modem. Does ADSL and HSDPA input (so u can use wireless broadband on it instead of ADSL) Bit of a waste tho if you're going to stick with ADSL. When I move I'll be installing a PCI Adsl2+ modem in my linux gateway and running that off a UPS rather than having an alcatel modem plugged into the WRT54GS (its a wireless router alone, not a wireless adsl router - never been a fan of combo devices) -D

Friday 17th July, Thebarton Theatre $33 presale tickets $38 at the door Butterfly Effect with Dead Letter Circus, & Calling All Cars (dont know either but for $33 I'll be there) -D

slipknot was a good gig... would love to see them again cog, butterfly effect and karnivool playin in the next 4-6 weeks. should be fun -D

3G ? Huh? I use a Linksys WRT54GS with hacked firmware (I installed 5mb version of linux on the 8mb flash and use the extra 3 megs to serve basic webpages) Has been rock solid for 4 years, the new linksys N combo would probably be a good one. Some of the integrated linksys adsl 2 modems from a year or two ago would die randomly due to poor quality soldering - theyve addressed the build issues nowadays (which is why they changed the housing of the unit so it doesnt look the same as the old ones). -D

Yeah I went up north to Smithfield on a repair job and this dude says "I'd like to introduce you to my wife and sister" and there was one girl standing there ;\ wasnt u i hope scandy haha -D

Don't know. are you any good with graphics manipulation already? Most short courses only teach you basic photoshop stuff, to be a decent web based graphical designer you'd be wanting to do at least a years worth of training - possibly at uni aswell... Speak to some webdesigners first and go from there... SQL is programming, Graphic Design is as far away from programming as you can get. It all depends on your mindset, and whether or not you would enjoy either. -D

thats worth putting in if you want to do webdesign. understanding HTML and XML and all the various standards is pretty much mandatory. Even better if you can get into Ruby On Rails, Perl, Php, SQL and the like... best to do some research and speak to a few people in different professions to find out what u want to do. Webdesign can vary from picture manipulation, to doing backend programming on large databases -very very different roles but come under the same banner. -D

Heh yeah Damo, what way do you want to clusterf**k your brain? <-- Linux System Engineer. Fun stuff. -D

Yeah I'm heading to the drive in tomorrow to check it out... can't wait toying with the idea of watching wolverine too 7:15 at gepps cross drive in for anyone keen to come *looking at dan* -D

yeah i got the 750. pretty shit. doesnt work with mediaportal billed as a dual tuner but not - it just lets you watch two instances from the same channel (abc and abc2) -D

word to mutha slow day today -D

if i dont end up going to the drive in to check out star trek, ill make an appearance -D

Apologies but I wont be able to make it My gtr is gonna be getting some bodywork done this w/e. Need to get my right rear smoothed off and painted... Pls forward me details of the meeting - I'll find some way to get my membership form and fees to you after the event. -D

Amazing. Looks like we're going to have a stupendously large deficit for the next 8 years thanks to Rudd n co. Global Financial Crisis is one thing, but this is just stupid - unless the defence expansion is counted as part of that long term deficit (who knows till the budget comes out).. Still, with 70billion in deficit, it looks like Ruddy's gonna be a one term PM. Sux2Bus. -D Edit - Whoops. One too many zeros there. Heh.

The moshpit at wiggles concert was a sight to be seen the only problem was, if u tried to crowdsurf you'd end up hurting someone ;( -D

Patsy Bisco plays a mean guitar -D

Yeah I think I did about as much last year - catching the bus to work has its benefits... And the cars been off the road sporadically over the last 3 months so I've been driving my old lady's Seca... FWD fun (not) -D

Damn that sucks... Good opportunity for luke to impress you with his cooking -D
