This is a quick how to for installing OpenWRT custom firmware on a D-Link DIR-835 router.

To read my RSS feeds, I use Tiny Tiny RSS, which worked fine until 21 Feb 2014.
On 22 Feb 2014, Ubuntu pushed Firefox 27, Tiny Tiny RSS stopped working, with a Javascript error. After logging in, there would be a pop up error referring to getCookie and tracing to prototype.js.
To solve this, I went back to the ESR (Extended Support Release). This was quite a few steps, so I am documenting them here.
To have better fonts in Firefox, you need to disable anti-aliasing, and clear all font caches.
Do achieve this, run the following commands from a terminal:
cd ~ rm -f .fonts.conf .fonts.cache-1 .fontconfig/*
cd /etc/fonts/ sudo mv 10-antialias.conf disabled-10-antialias.conf
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
Now, restart FIrefox and check if the fonts look better ...
How often do you reboot your laptop?
Well, for me, I run Linux (Kubuntu 12.04), and I usually do it when a new kernel security update is released. And put it on sleep otherwise.
This means I can go for a month and a half without rebooting.

Having worked with many people from India and Pakistan in the 1990s, I was often fascinated by words that sounded Arabic in origin. When asking about the meaning, they were indeed Arabic. And I could detect more words in the few Hindi Bollywood movies that I have seen as well.

I use a 15.6" laptop for daily work, but it is kind of heavy lugging it to conferences and talks. This is aggravated by the roller case for it which has some weight in it. Add a power supply, and other sundry items, and it becomes inconvenient when I am not traveling.
So, when I saw someone givining a presentation off of an Apple iPad, I was jealous and thought: why can't I do the same from my Android tablet? Turns out that the iPad has a display port, and Apple sells a display port to VGA adapter.

Yesterday, I took part in a panel at the local Kitchener Waterloo Linux Users Group on Earning a Living with FLOSS
This is another scam within a scam. People who get scammed are approached by other (or the same?) scammers claiming they are officials trying to catch the scammers and get back the money for the victims.
However, those who claim to be officials, local or international, are scammers themselves and are often able to scam the victim for more money than the origial scam was worth.
Here is an example of a man in India who was scammed by a person claiming to be from the non-existent United Nations Intelligence Bureau.
