Lest Blood Be Shed

The most common problem with the Linksys WRT GS running openwrt and asterisk is the size limitation. A major drawback is the lack of being able to save voicemail to the box itself. The Netgear WGT634U is the solution (with its phat usb interface). This entry will be a step-by-step install howto for putting kamikaze openwrt onto the netgear wgt643u. The openwrt install from the wiki is here

Openwrt

What you will need:

• A computer with a serial/usb2serial interface (running a kermit like program)


• A serial to 4 pin serial cable (I snip off the end of a samsung data cable and splice it onto a floppy power cable)


• A Netgear WGT634U


• small flathead screwdriver


• tftp server


• usb jump/flash drive

I'm planning on making a big move in May and as such I've begun preparing to sell most if not all of my stuff. I've already made $300 selling my books on amazon (less the $95 spent on shipping). I want to get rid of everything. Everything! Sell Sell Sell! Now, life doesn't happen in a vacuum and the Jesus Moment of the week was me deciding to stay in Rensselaer for the next two semester (and not move to Lafayette and save $200-$300 a month). I just couldn't bring myself to benefit myself personally at the cost of hurting others (through my polluting). I wasn't sure about the decision until today's readings: Hosea 11:1-11; Psalm 107:1-9, 43; Colossians 3:1-11 & Luke 12:13-21.

"Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot" Imagine that you woke up one morning and you discovered you had no birth-certificate, no driver's license, no proof you own your home. No-thing that identifies you as you. Who are you? What is your identity? Are we merely the sum of our possessions or are we something more? Are we the sum of our retirement accounts or do we have something inherently human that makes us.. us?

It's hard to make such a claim in a society that values materials, fame, unreasoned pleasure (see Cicero), or wealth. Everywhere around us we are constantly told that the reason we do things is to get better things. What would happen if no one could own anything anymore. How would we define our society and identity?

So, I've been spending some time playing with making soap and meditation pillows. Well, with all of this stuff I thought I would actually sell it. I've created a website to do so. I've named my business "Metaphysical Farms" and what's really cool about the site is that you can design your own soap and I'll make it. I've been able to connect the site to google-checkout as well as paypal. I'm still working on the design and layout of the site as well as updating the pictures. I'd really like to know what you think! What suggestions!

I'm also looking for people that want to sell hippie stuff too. My mom has these awesome homemade garden planters she has been selling that I'll be listing and Levi has a friend that is wanting to sell some oils or something like that. Do you have anything?!
