Daniel, I also recently installed a WRT on the Linksys WRT54GL. But I used DD-WRT instructions – went to http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database, entered my model number and got direct download links to the firmware along with a README. One very important points in flashing these routers is to clear the NVRAM by doing a hard reset BEFORE [...]

Want a sound card? Want a cleared sound that is not contaminated by electromagnetic interference in you computer’s case? Want that all to work in Linux? I did. So I got me one of theseUSB sound cards. It arrived today in a tiny padded envelope. And it works with Linux. Just plug and play. PulseAudio [...]
Want a definition of a paper cut bug? Here it is. And here and here are two more side effects of the same bug. The original bug report will be 6 years old in a month. Can we do something to prevent this bug surviving that long?
A bit more than a week after Debconf9 ended here is a post summarising what I remember about it – for myself to look back to later, for others that were there for a good memory, for those that were not there for insight and for organisers of future Debconfs to improve. Let’s start with [...]
First I will point to resources that will receive more updates than this blog: My Twitter feed – if I have a bit of info to get out, I’m more likely to tweet it out there, rather than writing a blog post about it. #debconf9 Twitter feed – me (and other people) posting Debconf9 related [...]

I have been bitten by non-default GPG options before. So I propose that we do a security release of GPG that changes the defaults of key generation and key [...]

What does it sound like when a commission is reinventing a wheel? Much like this. Guys, the technology you are looking for is called (*gasp*) a forum, with moderators and poster carma and such … It would not be too hard to implement a gateway that would receive emails posted to any list and republish [...]

According to the Slashdot article and the StopSoftwarePatents.org website itself and on Digg, the anti-software-patent activists are attempting a world-wide event on the 24th of September as a world-wide day against software patents. USA has them via a weird court ruling, Japan has them as well (not sure why), there have been efforts to force [...]
With the cost of plane tickets approaching 2000 USD it is rather hard to sell me going to the Debconf 8 as that can be approximated as 3-4 months of my income. I did apply for travel sponsorship, but due to some kind of brainfart I misread “Amount I am unable to fund myself” as [...]
