It’s been a while since I updated my blog. I haven’t been able to take photographs outside because of the rain and it is starting to get annoying.
Lately, I have been busy with work and spending time with my girlfriend. Within the past week, I have been working on my computer and replaced my old Netgear router with a Linksys WRT54G-TM Router. The reason for the switch was so that I could replace the firmware inside of the box with the newest version of DD-WRT. The new software is a breeze to setup and has a much better range of features for the router. The second modification I made to the box was to install a heatsink on the main chip and a fan on the top of the case to push more air into the box to cool down the components. This was a fun modification and has kept me from being bored with my free time. The WRT54G-TM model is better than some of the other routers because it has the available space to install the Mega version of DD-WRT. This model also runs a bit faster and won’t bog down as easy with heavy load.
I have a vacation coming up soon and I am saving up some money for the trip. Disney World HERE I COME! But really, I have only been to Disneyland and that was when I was 12 years old. My girlfriend and I booked a trip to fly to North Carolina to visit some of my family and from there we are all going to drive down to Florida to stay for a week. I will be taking my camera with me and I hope to come back with an awesome collection of photographs to post here and upload to flickr. The entire 10 day trip will be awesome, considering it has been a very long time since I have been out to N.C.
As my girlfriend falls asleep next to me on the couch, I sit here looking out my living room window and see that it’s raining fairly hard. I haven’t been able to go out and take pictures of much lately and everything in my house isn’t very interesting.
I have a short shift at work tonight, 6pm to 9pm. Tonight will most likely be really slow, especially when retail sales are down, not to mention, the NYSE took a hit today and dropped like a rock. I might try to take a few photos of products or something to pass the time when I have nothing else to do.
Three hours until work and it looks like today will end up being fairly mellow.
