Body: Got Linksys to give me an RMA number for a WRT54G that was fried while loading hacked firmware. Technically, the warranty is void - so we'll see if they give me a replacement.

Meeting: NCLUG 2004-10-12
Body: I worked on a Mapquest query system that takes a set of coordinates (address, x and y offsets, and zoom) and loads the page (or series of pages) needed to get the map, then crops the image and compresses is into a JPEG for transmission to a mobile device. Eventually, a Java application for the Danger Hiptop will be able to view these maps using a native interface, avoiding the overhead of downloading a large image (that doesn't fit on the screen anyway) or a weighty HTML page.

I also imported some data into a database for Ken Salazar's political campaign.
