Moving from Hexo to Hugo

After a long time with Hexo, I’ve decided to switch to Hugo for my personal site. It’s faster, simpler, and fits better with how I want to manage my content going forward. I haven’t decided yet whether I’ll migrate all the posts — we’ll see. I’ll start by adding a few older posts to test the layout.

For now, I’m keeping things minimal.

Sick, Pointless and with new engine.

I'm sick. There are elections out there and I'm bored under my blankets.

I can't sleep and the geek in me ask if my too much simple blog need to revamped. For a long time I've thought about a simple content manager written in some interesting language (ie ruby) using flat text files for persistence. Not much different from blogger that I've used until today, but that's involve in reinventing the wheel. Again.

Hacking the ASUS WL-500g Premium

I've used to prefer an assembled pc with old hardware in place of typical hardware routers and gateways. After years with a debian pc used as router/fileserver/etc i've wanted a silent little machine to do the same things. the ASUS WL-500 was the response, after a week or so i've changed the firmware with x-wrt that is OpenWRT with a much better GUI and some patches.

Surfing the net

No problem at all, i've wireless and wired clients. I use WPA for the wireless connection in the advanced setting i've found that Since OpenWRT RC6 you have to set _wl0_txpwr_ in qdBm (1/4 dBm), so if you want so achieve 20 dBm, you have to set wl0_txpwr to 80.
