Samsung SH-S202J is a great new burner from Samsung. It is quiet, fast, and the tray operates smoothly. It works seamlessly with K3B in Linux, burning 4.2GB of data in 6 minutes including session closing.
The first one of these I bought came DOA, but I just let NewEgg know about it, and they shipped me a new working one for free. Brilliant! I highly recommend you pick one up if you’re in the market.
Media Tested
One of the reasons I bought a new burner was the 200 discs I currently have that my old burner is incompatible with. I know now that at least 100 of those will work, since I sampled from a previosly non-working stack for the results above.
- Maxell 16x DVD-R
- Sony 16x DVD-R

With the release of the Intel Atom, my obsession with the mini-itx standard has come back. It’s amazingly inexpensive, and much better than the past king of the arean, VIA. You can now get one of these for just $82, which includes a motherboard and an Atom 230 processor clocking in at 1.6 Ghz and 4 Watts! I need it.

So, last month sometime, BrainSlayer got DD-WRT working on version 8 of the WRT54G. Now this was great news to me when I read it since I’ve been wanting to get rid of the crappy LinkSys management from the beginning. Some of the procedure worked, and some of it didn’t for me.
Do not try this if you don’t know exactly what you’re getting into.
