Atheros AR9281 on Salix64 13.37
I've recently got this wireless network adapter (Atheros AR9281), taking it from some random broken laptop which belongs to a friend of mine.
Technically the card is nicer:802.11n and higher gain than my old faithful Broadcomm BCM94312. But to get it working on my slacktop (Salix64 13.37, which is based on Slackware64 13.37) is just another little (stupid) story.
Long story short: load the modules, some people suggested to turn off the hardware cyprt-work.
Unlock the device so we can turn it on.
Unfortunately, it won't work with acer_wmi so pressing the wlan switch in the multimedia buttons won't switch the adapter on. Instead, I have to do:
It's fully working now: iwlist, iwconfig stuff will work.
To make things easier in the next boot:

Now I am considering to use another bluetooth adapter so I can gracefully disable acer_wmi.

MotorolaFans
After mkezx went down a long time ago, it's now MotorolaFans' turn. Early this February, Motorolafans (motorolafans.com) is no longer accessible. The reason is most likely due to less visitor, low maintenance, spambots, and expensive hosting/domain cost. It's kind of shocking Chinese New Year present to me.
It's been a great experience for me to learn so much about thingies, to work in a community, and making friends. (also being obliviously stupid and still being warmly accepted)

It's been nice being with you guys. It was one hell of experiences I can be proud to be part of. Thank you so much for everything.

Zéfal Z Cross AL review
Zéfal Z Cross AL. I've been using this portable pump for a while, so it's time for some review.
Here's few points:
+ tough material from aluminium,
+ easy maintenance: you can unscrew the back valve cover and put some light oil regularly (a month or so),
# larger size for more air being pumped,
# unique locking mechanism using that o-ring,
# decent pressure: it takes me 60-70 strokes to inflate 700c tube to nice-usable pressure (I'm not particularly working out to do so),
# easy swappable Schrader-Presta valve,
- the valve cover strapped to the thumb lock is a stupid idea, the strap broke after just few days :(
- the thumb lock doesn't work as it's supposed to: it needs no be pulled (only) halfway-through to work properly on Schrader valves.
--figure out the points yourself
Worthy buy I guess. :)
