Tag Archives: Open Source

So another one of the Sessions at UTOSC that I went to, that I got my wife to come to too, was one on spicing up Word Press. I decided I’d start one up, I’ve also committed to myself to updating my blog once a day on something going on in my life, or something useful that I’ve done. So I’m going to create categories for posts to go under that match each of my endeavors in life. I think I’ll start off with Open Source, Motorola Atrix Hacking, Life and Kids, and Work. So I hope this endeavor goes well!

So Thursday I attended UTOSC’s session on openWRT. Mike Lovell really motivated me to try and put openWRT on a wifi router. So I had be given an Netgear wnr2000 from my physics friend Tim. It has 4MB flash and 32 MB ram and a wireless N 2.4GHz Radio. So Friday night I set out to get it all flashed and working. To my surprise it was releatively easy to get openWRT install. I got ssh working, and the wifi setup. I’m excited to have it as an always on ssh server. It only draws 12 Watts. Not bad for a computer.
