All About Bentley

I just realized that with the change of presidents, my streak of seeing the current president in person has come to an end. It wasn't much of a streak, I saw George Bush Sr and Bill Clinton, but never W. Senior was campaigning and I saw him at OC .

You could see its configuration web page, it would give you an IP address...but it wouldn't hook you up to the internet. For some reason it wasn't getting an IP from the cable modem. I figured I could flash the firmware with the same or even a newer version and it would return to normal. Didn't work. Then I thought I would try an older version. Well that pretty much killed it. When you went to the configuration page, it was there, but it was all messed up. And that killed the link to the page that let you flash the firmware. But, being the super genius that I am, I looked through my internet history,found what the fla

Happy Birthday to me. yay.

Happy New Year everyone! Now let's get busy breaking those resolutions!
