Ahh… I <3 teh Interwebs :3

After 25 minutes and ultimately failing with Belkin’s Tech support (He hung up on me after trying several things that still did not work..) and right before I went to go return the piece of *art* back to Walmart… I tried the simplist thing… Update the FIRMWARE to a version that works.

-BEFORE YOU THROW THIS OUT AS A POSSIBILITY, READ ON-

Turns out Belkin did fix the issue for a number of routers recently and it seems to be something wrong with the firmware that was shipped out… In fact, the pre-installed firmware update tool does not work properly…

So I’ve conveniently created a simple link for you to download the latest firmware here for the model I tested for here. If you have another model I’ll look it up but please let me know if this resolves it. I’ll try to work with everyone who is having a problem with their new router, however please remember that I’m not a Belkin employee and will not be able to fix all of your life’s problems, (hopefully) just the Belkin router issues. (more…)

Go check it out over at wired. It’s not as complex as you may think =P

I wasted a bunch of time looking for these song packs so I figure I’d help out some fellow Googlers out there.

StepMania DDR Songs (and others) may be found at this REALLY pro site that has pretty much all of the DDR songs and more:

[Others] http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/sims/

I’ll keep this list updated as I find more.. And if I can find the SM packs, I’ll post about it. The one I used to use appearently is no longer available. If you have other links post them below!
Have fun

However my vote went off to Bravissimo Bertolli’s performance. She has an incredible voice that the video just did not give justice to.

YOU go ahead and vote and you’ll have the opportunity to have a nice trip up to NYC to premere:

• Airfare to and from New York City
• Transportation to and From the Airport
• Luxury Hotel accommodations for a 2-night stay
• The chance to meet celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito
• Two invitations to the premiere and party where you’ll meet the winners

Hey, it’s free and you’ve handed out your address and phone number to countless web forms in the past, why not give it to a legitimate food company too? =P

This creative reconception of the PS3 is just another one of Ben Heck’s last console recreations.

Just thought I’d share.

“Any definitive agreement between Yahoo! and Google would consolidate over 90% of the search advertising market in Google’s hands. This would make the market far less competitive, in sharp contrast to our own proposal to acquire Yahoo! We will assess closely all of our options.”

Hold up… Microsoft is saying that a definitive agreement would consolidate over 90% of Search Advertising… making it far less competitive? And this is coming from a company that has had a monopoly of Operating systems and the Internet Browser Market for how long?

Appearantly Microsoft had this to say after Yahoo decided to test Adsense along side their search results:

Greedy, greedy, greedy..

What’s up with that Dorm anyways? It has to be the most restrictive network I have seen, even worse than China.

I give up on this network. It’s pretty bad having a network admin with a total lockdown policy on UDP and P2P connections, MOV & MP3 download throttling to <1kb/s… and makes moderation of my most prized site VERY difficult…

I want to hear about how your dorm network! What college you’re at, if restricts traffic, for certain extensions, etc.. Afterall, if you’re going to be paying for the housing costs, you have THE RIGHT to know!

Auburn University Montgomery is not the place to go if you are even a casual gamer, use Skype, download MP3s, are a bittorrent fan, P2P network user or like to surf the web during peak hours.

Network Administrator doesn’t feel like opening the port 16 weeks after requesting and checking back every couple of weeks…

Flagship DID release an article 2 weeks after my first writing blasting Flag. It was great that he finally responded, but it basically pointed right back at the network administrator. Flippin Flag, you lazy developer. Back to square one.

Flag ship refuses to make any changes to support networks similar to my dorm that block just about every UDP connection. Like mine. If you’re like the many people having Ventrilo 3 issues like “Msg: Synchronizing”, PLEASE rant here: Ventrilo Forum Post

K. Rant done. Comment and rant here too if need be.
