I used to have troubles with my router with the stock firmware and with a custom one until I put tomato on it, now that it's rock solid stable.

Also, it is possible to hook your wireless router up to the other one with a wire. On yours, you'd have to disable DHCP and it should work.

this is what you get on a hot dog:

mustard, celery salt, relish, tomatoes, onions, a pickle and sport peppers (if you're nasty!).

Just reading that makes me want to go to my buddy's place in Naperville and get some Portillos.

It's looking pretty unlikely that my girlfriend is going to come with me to Fest, which would make sharing my room an option. I've got a king room reserved at the Holiday Inn for Friday and Saturday night and at the Paramount Thursday and Sunday night.

Okay, I'm seeing conflicting information here that you may need to clear up. I'm looking at the patti mayonnaise' myspace, http://www.myspace.com/thepattimayonnaise, and they've got you playing on the 29th. You say you're there on the 30th.

Stoked you're coming to Appleton! I'll be there!

Wow! I'm listening Neil Sutherland & friends and this is pretty great. Now I really can't wait for this one!

Damn, I love that cover of "It Ceases to be Whining.."

I want this record! I've been in love with her voice since I saw her at Fest!

My girl is fairly up in arms about this one:

Are you into going to National Parks? Camping, hiking, taking in beautiful, breath-taking natural scenery?

Yes! Any suggestions?

Glacier National Park in Montana. It's the most beautiful place I've ever been. I like it more than the Grand Canyon. If you do that, maybe plan on a couple days there. It's simply breathtaking and it's a big ass park,

If you wind up being able to boot that old machine and can get into windows, it'd be as easy as setting up sharing and hooking both computers up to a router, hub, or switch.

If windows won't boot becaused something's mucked up pretty badly, it'll take a little more work. You could download any Linux livecd and either burn it to cd or put it on a thumb drive using unetbootin. If you go the thumb drive route, you'll want one with multiple gigs, as the linux OS will take up around 1GB on its own and you'll probably want to have some space on it for your pictures. Once you've booted into Linux, open a terminal window and type "sudo fdisk -l" without the quotes(that's a lowercase L, by the way). That command lists all your hard drive partitions on that system. You want to find the one that's listed as HPFS/NTFS. Get the device name from that line, something /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 or something. Armed with that information, while still in the terminal, type:

cd ~

mkdir mnt

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 ./mnt

with the /dev/sda1 part being the device name from the fdisk command above. You've now mounted your windows hard drive and should be able to navigate through it using the file manager by going to the /mnt directory. Find where your pictures are and copy them onto a thumb drive.

Yeah, kinda convoluted, so hopefully you can boot and get into windows on that old machine.

Including transportation from and to the Jacksonville airport, food, drinks, and merch, I spent about $200. I walked everywhere, though. If you stay at the Paramount like I did, you probably will want to rent a bike, because walking that much sucked a lot after all was said and done.

Just drive. Stay off the interstate if you can, the coolest shit/best food is on the highways. Watch that show where Alton Brown from Food Network travels around on his motorcycle to see what I mean.

If you go to Minnesota, you can see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota, which is kinda neat and the tour guy there is pretty nice and talkative. And if you're up there, you can check out the life sized Jolly Green Giant in Blue Earth, MN.

Big order from interpunk came in today!:

Anchor Arms -Cold Blooded LP

Andrew Jackson Jihad -Only God Can Judge Me 10''

Franz Nicolay -Major General LP

Imadethismistake -The Bonfire Club 7'' (which must have been their last copy)

Joshua Ploeg -In Search Of the Lost Taste Book

Radio Faces -Party At The Bushwick Hotel LP

Teenage Bottlerocket -Total (Exclusive Reissue) LP

Whiskey And Co. -Whiskey And Co. LP

And I also go my Shang-a-lang/Brickfight 7" from Mitch Clem's label, which included the New Kids on the Block backstage pass, meaning I was one of the first 50 to order it through him. There's a special lady I know who's going to think that's pretty awesome!

Buck o Nine's "my town" is flawless.

Also, this. 28 Teeth is my favorite album to come out of the third wave. Such an amazing, happy summer album.

You must find some Prince Buster. It's tough, but anything you can find will probably be awesome. You can't fail with The Specials and The English Beat. For some obscure third wave, try to find Janitors Against Apartheid.

I'm in. I had the biggest crush on Pete & Pete's Ellen when I was a kid.

Camera Obscura

I don't have any idea why but I love the one chick's voice/accent.

Wow. Just wow. Why not buy a cornish hen? It's probably 1000 times better than whatever that is in the can.

Stoked for the Anchor Arms and Gatorface split. You are full of surprises mr.virgil.

The previews they've got up for the Big D record make it sound like it's going to be an awesome "summer" record. And I've been waiting for that Rev. Peyton to get vinylized for a while now. Can't wait!

Damn, My Name is Earl got canned. I think I only watched one episode this season, though.

Pepperoni + Cocoa Pebbles = awesome! Or anything from Lou Malnati's.

I like checkmyvinyl

Did anyone else noticed they killed off a redshirt when they went down to destroy the drill? I'm not a fan of Star Trek, but that made me really happy to see that.

I particularly liked the part where Scotty talked about transporting and losing Archer's prize beagle. It seemed like not many people got that one. Star Trek: Enterprise sucked.
