DIY Wireless Streaming Audio

I forget you are a geek. If I ever do anything even remotely technically interesting, my very non-technical wife wants to use it. This ends up with me fielding a ton of calls (I travel about 70% of the year sometimes over weekends but mostly not) about "why isn't this or that not working? Can't you fix it from [pick the country/state]?"

Yeah, I get the same thing. I usually wind up using a Ron White-type answer - "Just throw a paper towel over it, I'll clean it up when I get home."

I'm brewing tomorrow - perhaps I'll use the new webcam capability to do a simple webcast.

You've probably found this already if you've done much reading on the slug & NSLU2-Linux, but the processor in some hardware versions is underclocked from 266MHz to 133MHz from the factory (check your BogoMIPS in /proc/cpuinfo to be sure). You can remove (or just cut) one resistor on the board to "de-underclock" it. It's easy to do. Just be sure to cut the right resistor. I got the wrong one initially. Fortunately it didn't seem to hurt anything, but the slug got zapped by lightning shortly after so I'm not certain everything was working okay.

Yup, already crushed that little resistor. My Slug is "clocked."

Yuri, you are a nerd, hacking all of this stuff, but I must say, I have no room to talk. I do love the DD-WRT firmware, it's awesome!
