I switched to Orinoco a few months back thanks to two quick eBay purchases - I’m far happier with their hardware and software than I was with my LinkSys stuff. It’s the right way to go…
And use eBay, don’t pay retail

Welcome to the Ass-o-tron!. Ok, now this may sound a bit strange, but I was talking with my brother on the phone tonight, showing him the new search features in Frontier 9. Of course, little punk that he is (just kidding Pete), the first term he searches for is “ass”. No results (duh). We then had the (misguided) idea of searching Google for the word “ass” and among others, up pops the Ass-o-tron. This is the one that really got me laughing: www.whitehouse.gov (rated PG-13). (Note: The only reason for this post’s existence is so I’ll show up higher on Google searches for the word “ass” — not!) [Jake's Radio 'Blog]
Ok, here is a little more fun with filtered news feeds. I used Google to search news items based on source (the NYTimes) and topic keyword (blog). This feed pulls the most recent story in that mentions the NYTimes and blog. Here is what this looks like. With a couple tweaks I will get the summaries too with the keyword highlighted in the text.
Reporters Find New Outlet, and Concerns, in Web Logs
New York Times - 11 hours ago
[Google NYTimes weblog feed]
I could combine this using RSSDistiller in an hour or two to create a combined newsfeed that pulled filtered news on weblogs from the NYTimes, BBC, The Guardian, and any other major source available on Google. There might be a way to package this so all you need to do is set in the keywords you want to filter and set the news sources you want to include. Nice. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
I just read through the dossier on Iraq presented by Prime Minister Blair. I think it proves the danger the world faces and why America is not waiting around for that danger to be activated. We’re going to attack to try to stop Iraq. I recall a moment in history before the start of WWII where the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, waved a piece of paper signed by Hitler indicating peace was at hand. I think the people who do not want to attack Iraq would have been believers in the old Chamberlain episode. If America had a Democratic President currently, I would be deeply concerned that “Neville Chamberlain” had returned to our high office. Fortunately, we have a President that is unafraid to exercise military power to stop Iraq and all others who directly threaten us. I know people may disagree with me. That’s fine. I suggest they read the dossier I linked to above. If they can recommend an effective solution for Iraq as an alternative that isn’t a rerun of the ineffective policies of the past, I’ll listen. If not, I’m maintaining my support of the current war plan because I know that will work. [Donald W. Larson's Radio Weblog]
Bryan Strawser’s Weblog has my Monday comments posted on his site. I guess I’m a syndicated journalist now.
As a proud American, I go on record fully supporting the President on his actions to fight Iraq and all other terrorist-nation states. I’m glad America has taken this new posture. It is time for America to assert itself when threatened. America will now take the fight to where it belongs, on other nations soil. We will win. [Donald W. Larson's Radio Weblog]
