annoyances

  1. OS X 10.4.6 was released today via System Update. It rendered my iBook unbootable. I could boot into single user, or to the install media, but it would hang during boot. So now I am back to 10.4 with a lot of patches/upgrades to catch up on. None of the other (newer) systems were messed up.
  2. My WRT54G router is supposedly expandable with sooper kewl firmware hacks, none of which seem to even install. One of the features of linux I came to loathe was the need to fork a new version at the slightest opportunity. So how many version of linux-based firmware are there for this? I have found half a dozen so far. At some point I have to wonder if these features are worth the trouble it takes, free software or no.

On the upside, it looks like I have WPA security working so I can dispense with my localhost-forwarding-ssh-over-an-encryptedtunnel-thingie.
