Hi, I've just got a Linksys WRT54GL and want to try replacement o/s on it. I've had a bit of a google and the main ones seem to be DDWRT, OpenWRT and Tomato. Anyone care to express a preference or a reason why I ought to use one of these over another? TIA Steve

Spare hardware sought!

Greetings Folks! Hoping you had a good Christmas, and wishing you a Happy New Year. I have an old desktop box whose PSU has blown. So I'm looking for a compatible box to which I can transfer the hard drives and PCI cards. Basic requirements: Working AT box with motherboard & CPU, 64MB RAM or more, space for 4 IDE hard drives, PCI slots (for monitor, parallel, ethernet, etc. cards), PS/2 mouse and KB ports. So if any of you shed-stackers has something suitable, I'd be very pleased to hear. Willing to pay a reasonable reward for a suitable box of tricks! Best wishes to all, Ted. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding(a)wlandres.net> Date: 29-Dec-2011 Time: 11:24:50 This message was sent by XFMail ----------------------------------

icalendar/vcalendar question - how to clear 'up to now' occurrences of a repeating event?
by Chris Green 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

I suspect that this can't be done within the iCalendar specification but maybe I'm not understanding all of it. I (and I'm sure *lots* of other people) need a way to remind myself about repeating events like having to do quarterly PAYE returns and quarterly VAT returns. I thus need a way to set up a repeating reminder of some sort, this is quite easy using an iCalender 'object', and then I need a way to say "I've done this month's one of these". As far as I can see there is no way in the iCalendar format to do this. The only reasonably practical approach I can see is to delete the EVENT completely and create a new one that starts at the next repeat date. Using a TODO instead doesn't seem to help much, you can sort of bodge together a way of doing it but it's so messy and liable to confusions with different length months and such that it doesn't really work. Am I right, is the best/only way to do it deletion and re-creation? -- Chris Green
