Okay, guys, I have over done it. I don't need an MSN Messenger account for each computer that I am on. I am going back to having ONE MSN Messenger account. You can delete all of them off of your contact lists besides kennypoo <at> gmail.com. That is the one I will be using. If you need to know where I am at and which computer I am using at the time, it will be reflected in the display picture that I am using at the time.

I am on TV guys! Well, at least in Utah, on Comcast viewers' televisions. I am in the Comcast Cares Day commercial. Look for me in a black Comcast Cares Day t-shirt (like everyone else) and a Denver Broncos cap. I don't think this commercial plays anywhere else except for here in Utah, so I won't be that famous.

Linux is awesome! It can run on anything that has some kind of a processor in it. I love it! I was way excited when I found out about six months ago that you can install a version of Linux on the WRT54G family of routers!

Well, I am using a version called OpenWRT (http://openwrt.org). OpenWRT opens up your router to a whole new world of possiblities. For example, I was able to turn one of my routers into a wireless card for my computer! I pretty much reversed the functionality! OpenWRT is also what allowed me to have a statistics page on my site. You can install a variety of Linux programs on the router and run them.

The latest version of OpenWRT (Whiterussian RC4) just came out. It now, finally, includes a web interface so that even newbies can run it. It is way easy to use the web interface to change the router's basic settings. However, you have so much more power and control over the router's functions than you do with the firmware that comes installed on it from the factory.

Way to go OpenWRT team!

Yay! Daemon Tools for Windows XP x64 Edition has been released! The 64-bit computing community is now happy! I've been waiting for this for a long, long time. I can now play my unplayable games on Windows XP x64 Edition!!!

It sure is nice to see this icon in my system tray again... ahhhh... sigh of relief.




Daemon Tools can be obtained at http://www.daemon-tools.cc

Well, guys, I gave in. I got a cell phone. Here is a picture of the phone I currently have. It is an LG VX-3300.

I had a different phone to begin with. The guys at Alert Cellular sold me a crap phone that really sucks. It was an Audiovox CDM-8910. I brought it to work and plugged it in to my computer and it shut off and wouldn't turn back on! I went back and they tried to exchange the phone for the same one, but I wouldn't let them. The reviews on the Audiovox phone are horrible!

The LG VX-3300 is simply a phone. There are no fancy features, no camera, no online capabilities. All I wanted was a phone, and that is what I got.

Now my friends and family are happy because they can get a hold of me when they need to. I suppose it was a good decision. I am really liking my "mobile abilities" so far.
