| h00k | The internet in this hotel sucks. | 00:25 |

| * tonyyarusso wonders what MaddogF16 wanted | 01:15 | |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: OpenWRT is command line only; DD-WRT is a web interface. I've heard similar things about the x86 version though. DD-WRT shines on embedded hardware like consumer wifi products. If you're going to put it on x86 gear, use pfSense, m0n0wall, ClearOS, or something along those lines. | 01:16 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: If you're looking for a great off-the-shelf wifi router, and don't need 802.11n, you want the Linksys WRT54GL (with the "L" on the end!), period. | 01:17 |
| Takyoji | The annoying thing is no retailer that I can find (nearby) provides the WRT54GL at all | 02:13 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji, meet my friend the Internet. | 02:13 |
| Takyoji | otherwise I'm going to see if this Linksys E2000 will at least forward proto41 packets properly | 02:14 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: $49.99, free shipping - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124190 | 02:14 |
| tonyyarusso | I just picked up an E3000 myself :) | 02:15 |
| Takyoji | and I was basically standing there on my smartphone for like.. half an hour looking through the DD-WRT supported hardware to see which one at my nearby monopolist Walmart store. | 02:16 |
| Takyoji | were of viable options | 02:16 |
| Takyoji | was eyeing the E1000, but that one is apparently not supported | 02:17 |
| Takyoji | and if I ever change my mind or brick the device, I can gracefully return it back within 15 days. xP | 02:17 |
| tonyyarusso | Dude, why on earth would you WalMart when you can Newegg? | 02:17 |
| Takyoji | Compulsiveness, most likely. :P | 02:18 |
| Takyoji | Yay, an actual router that DOESN'T stupidly drop 6in4 packets! | 03:14 |
| Takyoji | Woo, saw a GNOME-based distro on a laptop on the show "Superhumans" (or whatever the proper title is) on History channel. The laptop was used for comparing a person's musical accuracy from hearing something just once. | 05:02 |

| tonyyarusso | haha | 20:50 |

| * h00k turns GPS on | 20:51 | |
| h00k | I like this "Places" app on my 'Droid | 20:51 |
| tonyyarusso | Well, the Noodles in question is http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=2110+Ford+Parkway+and+Cleveland+Ave+St.+Paul,+MN+55116&sll=44.917959,-93.187425&sspn=10.984605,28.54248&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Ford+Pkwy+%26+Cleveland+Ave+S,+St+Paul,+Ramsey,+Minnesota+55116&z=16 | 20:52 |

| h00k | about 20 mins away, apparently | 20:53 |
| tonyyarusso | sounds right | 20:54 |
| tonyyarusso | But you'll be way better off doing that drive now than you would if you did it in rush hour, so the killing time at a coffee shop idea is a good one | 20:54 |
| h00k | Yeah. now to find one near Noodles | 20:54 |
| h00k | or is Noodles a place where I could hang out with a laptop :D | 20:54 |

| tonyyarusso | h00k: Caribou Coffee is far superior to Starbucks, and located at 2134 Ford Parkway | 20:56 |
| h00k | Check it! | 20:56 |
| h00k | As long as wifi is free :( | 20:56 |
| tonyyarusso | It is. | 20:57 |
| tonyyarusso | The Caribou is one block west, near Finn. | 20:57 |
| h00k | I see it here on the maps, with parking nearby. | 20:58 |
| tonyyarusso | Yeah, parking isn't a problem in that area. | 20:58 |
| h00k | Good. | 20:58 |
| h00k | okay. It is 9 miles away *that* way | 20:59 |
| * h00k points | 20:59 | |
