Yeah, now approaching 5 AM pretty quickly.

But the new router *is* cool in that it is working as expected, running 
open firmware. :-)

And now just after 6 AM.  I'm *finally* starting to get too tired to do 
much more; I hit the wall (metaphorically) about 90 minutes ago and 
decided trying to learn how to configure freeradius was futile in my 
current condition, as was trying to work out configuring a virtual 
network interface for the open wifi I want to set up that's restricted to 
minimal ports and a fraction of the total bandwidth available.

Those projects will wait for another day.

I got QoS running, and the router is acting as a USB print server as 
well.  And it's doing the port forwarding I need, and I even got it to 
mount a USB flash drive, so I should be able to install a fair bit more 
software after I spend some time configuring it to relocate its 
filesystem to the flash drive.  Basically start it off on its own flash, 
and then swap the root partition out after it boots.

I'm pleased, certainly.  Hopefully this will mean I don't have to 
micromanage bandwidth utilisation during the workday, and my work phone 
will be able to get the bandwidth it needs for a clear signal, regardless 
of whether someone's streaming a film from Netflix or not (that'd be a 
good test).

Yeah, I heard about the recording schedule.  Just can't wait for it to 
get here.  And "Stupid Boys in Cars" (aka "Top Gear"), which comes back 
later this month (the 21st IIRC).

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I finally went to bed after my wife came out at 7 AM 
and greeted me.  Slept from about 7:30 until a little after noon.

Its another day. :-)

Yeah, very much so.  First thing I wanted to see this morning was the 
bandwidth and utilisation charts, since I left a few things running while 
I was sleeping.

But *really* geeky is being excited about being able to run tcpdump on 
the router for packet analysis. :-)

I get marched to bed by my ear with the threat of taking snips to the 
mains cable.

If the men in white coats don't come for you soon I'll phone again. ;-)

Nope. ;-)

LOL; she knew I had a new toy to play with, so knew what to expect.  She 
also benefits, because her access to the net is more reliable, so there's 
some self-interest in play as well. :-)

Probably later; I've got some movies to watch and Doctor Who should be 
ready for me to watch in a couple hours.

LOL; they may be looking for Laura Chappell - it's the sort of thing 
she'd think was pretty geeky (you probably don't know who I'm talking 
about, thinking about it - she founded the Protocol Analysis Institute 
and Wireshark Univeristy; used to work for Novell, where she worked on 
packet analysis tools.  One of the best presenters I've ever seen, and 
when it comes to low-level network traffic analysis, she *is* without a 
doubt the best in the industry).
