• Adding a bicycle bell

  The bike bell I had was way to narrow for the pipe on my bike. So luckily I had a small scrap of pipe that I sanded down and pressed into hole of the larger pipe. This was my Hack Your World moment.  I drilled a hole in the handle of the furniture clamp and…

• Pogoplug now running hostapd

  I was not anticipating it not being able to reach channel 11, so I set it to channel 1. Also, it cannot do 802.11n, so I set it to 802.11g. My cell phone seems to be able to use it. Also, for some reason, my pogoplug syncs up to the same switch better than my…
