I’ve a low end multimedia computer that is hooked up to the television. It plays all my digital medias (videos, photos, music, internet radio, …) to the TV. Well, the idea of multimedia players wasn’t so strong in the past when I got the scrape computer to do the job.
The problem is when I access multimedia contents on my NAS (DNS-313) over the wireless link. My room used to be a wireless dead spot until I rectified it using the DIR-655. However, the link quality isn’t really that great and streaming videos over the wireless link could be problematic at times. Since the DNS-313 mainly holds my multimedia content. I’ve though of moving it closer to the multimedia computer as it access it more often than other clients on my network.
Got a pair of Wireless-N access points (WNHDE111) from NETGEAR to do the job. Great thing is that it provides 2 Ethernet ports! One for the DNS-313 and the other to multimedia computer. So I would expect low latency and high speed between the DNS-313 and computer. At the same time enjoy better wireless link due to the 5Ghz spectrum.
Hope the wireless-N bridges (WNHDE111) does its job well. 
Bad weather these few days. Been raining cats and dogs every now and then. Let me see, flu bug found me on Saturday and pestered me until today. Got a sore nose + a couple of mouth ulcers. I think I should drink more water then!
Didn’t do anything much over the weekend. Lazy Andy!
For some reasons, I needed a network security scanner and was lazy to boot into my linux to run nmap. Compiled Nmap 4.68 for use on the DNS-323 family. It should work for devices running fonz’s fun_plug (0.5). For example, DNS-343, DNS-313, CH3SNAS, etc..

Do away with the grueling task of setting up a cross compile environment just to compile that small application to run on the DNS-343/DNS-323/DNS-313. Or waiting anxiously for somebody to compile that particular software you have been eyeing sooooOOooo long? Native compiling is rather simple if you are using fonz’s fun_plug 0.5.

Dang. IBM turns out to be liars. Why promised Thinkpad for the top scorer when IBM cannot honor? I guess it is unexpected to have three people who had perfect score for their IBM 000-730 exam. And no thanks to IBM’s stinginess in only awarding only one Thinkpad to the top scorers.
Anyway, IBM launched the Search for the XML Superstars in ASEAN contest. Hope the rewards are authentic.
