I just purchased a Linksys WRT54GL with a 1GB SD/MMC Card flashed with DD-WRT firmware for $109.98. Kind of expensive, but it’s priced $134.99 plus $12.99 shipping at Tekunix Corp. who in my opinion is a bunch of crooks overpriced. I mean, the router sells for 1/3 of their price tag on Amazon plus free shipping.

Anyway, I’ll be using it mostly for VPN in front of my ZyXEL X-550… and with all that space, maybe I’ll even host this site on it someday.

Does anyone have a Linksys WRT54G version 1 – 4 for sale or to spare? I need one to run DD-WRT OpenVPN on it. For some reason, I can’t seem to make my OpenVPN server work with its “redirect-gateway” directive enabled on my desktop. Continue reading ‘Wanted: Linksys WRT54G’ »

My appointment with Dr. Brodsky at OHSU was re-scheduled to July 10 simply because the new referral was late. My primary care physician left to another state last month, and the referral had to be renewed by my new PCP. Continue reading ‘Delayed referral’ »

The Daylight Saving Time started this morning at 2 here in United States (except Arizona and Hawaii) and in Canada, folks. I don’t know about you, but everything seems to be okay for me… yet. We’ll see on the April 1st. If you use Windows, get the patch here. :)

My maternal uncle — her husband — arrived this morning from S. Korea. They’re in the process of immigrating here legally after a decade my mother requested it. If all things go as planned, they will be running a small apparel store in Las Vegas which isn’t too far from here. I really hope everything goes well for my mother’s sake.
