The Netgear WNDR3300 Wireless N router is a pretty interesting, cheap alternative in the wireless N space. It sports 8 micro antennas for superior coverage and supports simultaneous 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ connections for wireless G and wireless N respectively. That way you can get 54Mbps and 300Mbps simultaneously. Though the real world probably wouldn’t give you that. Needless to say, it’s a solid alternative.

I recently got my hands on this little beauty. It’s a nice router (WRT160N) for a bunch of reasons, partly for the looks. It has a stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall, VPN pass through, easy wifi protected setup mode (i’ll explain that later), 256bit WPA2 encryption, and 248Mb/second! Drooooool.

Whew!  Or you can call it HAL for short.  I almost had an aneurysm saying that.  Anyway, it’s the brain child of Yoshiyuki Sankai, a professor at the University of Tsukuba.  The exoskeleton allows the wearer to lift and carry weights that they wouldn’t otherwise.  It also allows the wearer to look like a Power Ranger!

niahorr1-796500.pngThis last month has seen the appearance of a pretty nasty SQL injection attack aimed at IIS/ASP servers.  The attack originated in, drum roll please and look completely shocked, China.  Okay, you didn’t look shocked.  Well, I didn’t either.

I own an Altec Lansing 2.1 system that I have been using for many years. It has been an incredibly good system for me. It has been reliable and decent on the sound. And really, I thought the sound was very good until I unboxed the Klipsh Pro Media 2.1 system.

Here is an interesting issue that I thought I would share with the wider Odyssey community. A while ago I got an Check Engine Light (CEL) or Message Indicator Light (MIL). I went over to Autozone and got the code pulled. If you didn’t know you could do that, now you do. Autozone will pull those codes out of the on board computer for free.
