Fon
A couple weeks ago I saw a blurb somewhere about getting a new wireless router for $5. This caught my eye because we've been using an old 11Mbps jobby from Netgear (which has been incredibly solid, mind you). The catch? You have to leave your router open to other 'Foneros' for a year. Not a big deal to me since I didn't have anything locked down w/ the Netgear.
So, I ordered my Fon 'social router' for $5 + $8 shipping and hoped for the best.
Today, a Linksys WRT54GS showed up on my doorstep w/ Fon's firmware, muddy instructions, and window sticker that's really too small to see from the street. Not bad for $5.
After a few minutes of tiddling around, our new 54Mbps wireless network was up and ready for all in range... Well, all but my new DS lite. :(
Apparently, since the Fon software requires being able to submit a username/password combo from a webpage, the DS lite won't be able to connect anymore. It's not really a show-stopper; just an inconvenience. No more getting worked in Mario Kart DS online.
At least until they fix it. (hint hint)

oh yeah... and it is practically impossible for me to send you an email to your lechoso address. i keep getting busted by them because my ip is coming from the middle east and they won't route it to you... punks. i even tried sending it through my VPN and got the same error (which doesn't make any sense because it should be coming from the states through my VPN). well anyways... please gimme a gmail address or something. you can send it to me at thecamelriders (at) gmail.com
