WRT160N v2

Way to go, you Cisco F-tards. If you are having problems with your WRT160N v2 router timing out with DNS issues, then you are not alone. Seems the asshats at Cisco skimped on the RAM in this unit, and it’s causing serious issues with build 11 of the firmware. What’s more, is they are being OH so responsive with their help.

Once again, we’ve been left to our own devices to “fix” this issue. Basically the fix is to downgrade to build 8, which of course is not something Linksys is assisting with. I’ve included a link to the thread where everyone is bitching about the problem below, and a link to an awesome tutorial provided by a concerned netizen. :) Well done, Paul!! Thanks much!

Looks like MTV is going to offer Music Videos!!! Can you believe it? How novel an idea this is? Music Videos!! You’d think we would have thought of this in the 80’s. Anyway, it’s going to be on the web apparently. Check it out.

I got the redesign for the Joel Gaines Show done (http://www.joelgainesshow.com). Now I can move on to finishing my Authentication Class. During the redesign I made a PHP class for custom borders. I will post it at House Trevethan for anyone who wants to use it.

Tomorrow begins a new week! I hope everyone’s week goes well! See you on the other side!

PS: If you own a small business (or a large one) or know anyone who does and who might be interested in advertising on a political talk show, please let us know by writing to marketing@joelgainesshow.com. THANKS!

Listen up, Soldier! Looks like there’s a new game on the radar! Were you a fan of Planetside way back in the day? It looks like there might be an MMOFPS on the way to take the long held crown from Planetside (granted, no game has come along to challenge the crown). Anyway, I’ll let you check it out for yourself. The really good thing about this is the specs are low, and the pricepoint is very attractive — FREE. I worry about how they will get their money, but that is their problem. Anyway, follow the link below to check it out!

Battlefield Heroes!

Life has been pretty busy lately, and I haven’t had as much of a chance to write as I would have liked. So, I will give a quick update to things goin on in my life.

Happy Dad’s day to all the dads out there. I had a pretty good day — hung out with family and just tried to relax. Heidi and Rhys got me a really nice Fossil watch, so that was freakin awesome! Rhys did a very good job keeping the secret from me, much to our surprise. He mentioned that he had a “surprise” to give me on “Mother’s Day” a few times, but never gave away the secret. :)

I’m still not smoking! WOO HOO! I have a few patches left to go if I want to finish out the program, but honestly, I’m pretty much done with it. I tried to put a patch on today and it didn’t stick very well, so I just tossed it. I think I’m truly done with the whole smoking thing! Feels good to be done with that shit. OMG. I still get cravings, but I have enough will power to fend off the cravings this time. I just gotta keep my exposure to smokers limited for a time, else I know I will fall.

I have been thinking of taking up online poker again. It’s an online game that 1) I like to play, 2) takes little time, 3) doesn’t have a monthly cost, 4) can actually win money! So, we’ll see. I noticed that Poker.com seems to have turned into a portal of sorts. I used to play there when it was a gaming site. I know the US Govt has frowned on online gaming, so I will have to check into the current laws, etc… BOOO

That’s about it for now. I’m gonna get to work, and try and enjoy the day! Chat at you guys later!

Well, the Thought Dumpster is back. It’s not in full glory at the moment, but it’s functional! :)
