WRT54G ver 7 firmware hacking

Forget about hacking WRT54G ver 7. Because they don't use boadcom chip. ROM is only 2MB which is insufficient to store for some drivers upgrade.


Other version might work though.

You can refer to dd-wrt for other models upgrade. Good luck.

Strike 4D!

First time in my life history, striking a 4D number. Consolidation prize.

Something nice to share with family with Haagen Daz ice cream.

Hurray. When will be the next?

Quick way to verify SMTP server

Source From: http://www.garnetchaney.com/how_to_telnet_to_a_mail_server.shtml

SMTP - To Send Mail

To send mail:

1. Bring up telnet
2. Type "open (your mail server here) 25"
3. This will connect to your mail server on port 25 (the smtp port) SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
4. Type "HELO (site you want the mail server to record you connecting from...this can be anything you want)" Some mail servers do not require this line.
5. If you want the mail server/receiver of the email to know who this email is from type "MAIL FROM: yourname@whereever.com (replace this with whatever you want)" **Note: Some mail servers require this line...if you get an error that blank sender is not allowed than use this command.
6. To tell the mail server where you want your mail to go to type "RCPT TO: (where you want the mail to go)". **Warning: If you incorrectly enter the destination of the mail it will be sent to the postmaster of the receiving server (usually the mail server will give you an error informing you that the user does not exist and that this message will be sent to the postmaster).
7. Then type "DATA"
8. The mail server will give you specific instructions on how to terminate the message (usually a "." on a line by itself) you must use this or else you will not be able to send the message!
9. Type your message
10. Then terminate the message with the appropriate character
11. At this point you generally type "QUIT" to disconnect as your message is sent.

There is always a good time to buy stock

There is always a best time to buy stock. This is nothing more true than now. Dow Jones closed overnight lossing 500 over points and for the past week already lost about 1400 pts. It's below 10000.

I am to share my portfolio of stocks that I would love to invest provided with spare cash :) wish...

I am sure I can manage a return of at least 10% for the next 2 years.

Number of stocks are solely my preference. Everyone should have their own. Just like individual preference for colours/cars/food etc....
