New home

Thanks to Vikas and Melvin, I got myself a domain name. I’ve been lazy on this (though I knew its not the right thing to be lazy about) and Vikas’ showing me his domain was a catalyst. Mine is kinda lousy being a third level name and all but hoping for first name in second level is too much.

Powernow

This had been crawling for some time, last month (yeah, before I took ill, for those who know about that) I did a BIOS upgrade and powernow-k8 module started working. But then no big deal except for 2-3 degrees drop in the temperature when I switch to the 1 Ghz mode.

Bridge mode

Another thing that was crawling but not for long. apt-get install pppoeconf and run it after setting the MT 882 to bridge mode (in the WAN settings). Add route to ppp0 and that was it. Its not of much use except debugging plus the extra tension about setting up the firewall. But then one could setup Counterstrike server on Windows. Then again I’ll have to figure out how to get this working on windows plus a firewall is kinda un avoidable.

Needle phobia

Yeah the nurses at the hospital fixed that. I had blood samples taken every 6 hours. Can’t believe I let them do that. Plus the cannula almighty – It was the first time I had that one on me. Horrible.
