Completely Unrelated / Router issues
« on: 2007-07-10 19:39:58 »
Hey guys, I just bought a new router which seems to have problems with it. Its a linksys wrt54gl, I've flashed it with the dd wrt firmware. The problem is, it keeps randomly disconeccting. I'm thinking its because of perhaps some settings some where? I have it on dchp auto config, but I know my line is meant to be PPPoA , but there isn't an option for that. Any ideas?

Kings College, how about you?
I'll be going to UCL to do Physics! Have you got your accomadation sorted out yet? I'm going to be living in Camden
.Phwoo, uni's a long way off, what's it like? Not the lessons though, the general atmosphere and peoples attitude towards you (t3h 1337)Well I've heard uni has alot more people, which suits me because I'm a people person. Lectures are meant to be very strict and no talking, I don't know about tutorials. I'm guessing uni is like everything else in life, its as good as you make it.

« on: 2006-08-25 23:51:12 »I'm sorry to hear that... same for RW_66, you both had a hard time! ugh, I've heard a theory that girls like to have a challenge to get the guy so to speak, and they don't like it when guys are too loving. Am I the only one who thinks the world has gone mad?! From what I've noticed, messing a girl around can sometimes make her stay more than being nice to her-Pity I'm not willing to play that game!MOT, what happened involving that girl? I hope I'm not being too nosy!
Its detailed quite well elsewhere on the forums, however I shall sum it up for you here (it's a classic boy meets girl tale):
November: Boy breaks up with a girl, meets new girl. New girl likes boy, boy not ready for relationship. Boy and new girl become friends.
December: Uni break, boy and new girl email and text constantly.
January: New girl meets new guy, new girl completely ignores boy.
February: New girl randomly talks to boy when she is bored, she is obviously still attracted from all the comments she makes and way she acts.
March: Boy tells new girl where to go because he is tired of being ignored when it suits new girl. New girl apologises and follows boy round for a few days.
April: Boy goes away for a week, on the journey home new girl texts constantly. Over next few days a hundred or so texts are received so new girl gets msn. Boy and new girl get on really well, and talk constantly.
May: New girl randomly tells boy that she only thinks of him as a friend. Boy not bothered since he is chasing 3 other girls. New girl decides she wants attention and constantly flirts. Boy ignores it.
June: New girl asks boy out on date, boy goes and has fun. New girl asks guy out on another date then 3 more 3 days in a row. New girl then tells boy over msn that she is going to sleep with him. Later new girl texts boy to tell him she really likes him and asks him to come round the next day. Next day they lie in the park, apparently all the clouds look like hearts and inspire love in the girl. Girl then invites boy back to hers. Boy walks through the door and girl ignores him for 2 hours then boy gives up and goes home. Girl then ignores boy for a day, boy asks whats going on as he thought they had something good going on. Girl says she just wants to stay friends. Boy asks girl what happened, girl tells boy it was all a joke and boy got the wrong end of the stick. Girl then decides to not talk to boy and blame him because she does not want to answer any difficult questions, such as how can she joke about liking someone.
July: Girl comes up to boy in bar and acts like nothing is wrong, boys best friend is restrained by her friend from punching girl in face. Boy ignores girl and girl stares at boy for 20 minutes before boy and friends move bar. Boy sends email to girl asking for his stuff back, girl ignores. Boy gets girl on msn, she says she will get stuff back to him and reveals that she has been dating 4 guys at once. Boy gets slightly annoyed. 2 Weeks later boy still hasn't got his stuff so sends nasty email. Girl replies and tells him its his fault she hasn't done what she said and that its his fault that they are no longer friends. Boy gets girl to mail him his stuff then rolls over and goes back to sleep (with best friend
My friends think she was annoyed that I didn't care when she said she wanted to be friends the first time and decided to try and get me to like her so she could do that to me. Apparently she is quite the manipulative cow.

« on: 2006-08-23 20:06:25 »I fell out of contact with everyone of my primary school friends and I am not that interested in seeing my university friends out of university.Yeah I agree, by the end of sixth form, you have settled down enough and known enough people to see who suits your personallity the best. Though I did join another school for sixth form, so I had to do that very quickly! Most people I met are great people! I've noticed people seem to adopt a more friendly personallity in sixth form, ie. being friends with everyone.
The way it seems to me is that at school/uni etc you will automatically group with people to avoid being on your own, but the people you first group with are not necessarily the sort of people you would usually choose as friends. Thats why nearly all my friends are from secondary school, by the end of year 13 you have worked out who your real friends are.
There was really only one person from uni I would have considered a proper friend and she turned out to be the nastiest piece of work I have ever had the misfortune to deal with.
MOT, what happened involving that girl? I hope I'm not being too nosy!

Because steel strung guitars feel different. And plus, so far, acousitc night wise, I kinda do feel stupid dragging my electric down . Though I have got alot of comments to how most people think it is an acoustic in disguise!

Yeah I noticed how hard it is to keep in touch with friends from my old secondary school pre sixth form. MSN and Myspace helps alot!
Its a pity that friends can grow apart in time though, though with my old best friends, when we do meet up, its as if I never left!

Don't you just love your friends? Had a great day out today in Lincoln, where we just hung out in the park and messed about. Does anyone notice that as you get older, you get less and less time to do that? and going outs seem to also seem to involve alcohol or clubbing? I kinda miss the old simple hanging out in the park and playing football! So err theres not much to disucss, so lets discuss how friends rule!

I play a Ernie Ball john Petrucci guitar 7 string, fully loaded, in red pearlburst, through a gt6 into an acoustic amp. It sounds ace with the piezo as well!
I've done a bit of guitar modding before, on an old acoustic, did up the frets and action, but unfortunately due to a little accident I had to replace the bridge, which didn't go well, some idiot had super glued the bridge to the wood!
Have you had any experience with modding guitars before?
