Flashed the router

I wasn’t cool enough to get one of the older ones with more space/memory, but yesterday I picked up a Linksys WRT54G router and flashed it with DD-WRT. The procedure was totally smooth and uneventful. Haven’t done anything fancy with it yet, but I’m at least going to do MAC filtering and some QoS stuff for BitTorrent Skype. Good geeky fun.

I threatened to perform the process naked so that I would have “flashed the router” in a different sense, but that proved impractical.

    I really enjoy installing linux on consumer devices. Eventually, everything I own will run linux and I’ll be instantaneously transported to some kind of Open Source GNU/Heaven, whereupon the first thing I’ll do is patch the whole 72 virgins feature with something more entertaining.

    That is the best comment I have seen here in months.
