It has been a long time since I posted here, and I wanted to rectify that today. September to November is always our busiest season at work, and I am also mid-term with my course at JCU. Relaxation has been rare and difficult, usually consisting of a few moves in online chess games, or a Saturday night out.
Being busy is strange. There is a certain point at which I am maximally productive. If I am less busy than this point, then I do not fully engage in my work and don't have those flashes of insight that come from really working a problem. On the other hand, past that point, I spend too much time figuring out how I'm going to get all of my work done to get any of my work done.
I suppose, like everything else, that balance is the key.
Random thoughts from my notebook this week:
- Why does my DI-514 Wireless Access point need to be rebooted daily to keep up wireless connections?
- Is Bode's Law a resonance effect? Can we apply such an effect to predict the orbits of small extrasolar planets from the orbits of large one?
Aside from the obvious smart ass responses about running windows, there's probably a very bad reason for it acting that way. Does it use PPPoE or anything else of the sort that goes stale? Or have your ip change and your router gets all stupid and forgets how to route? Or do you have a tonne of annoying war(movers) filling up and overloading your routers wireless dodads that it needs a swift kick to get back going?

Re: DI-514
Have you updated to the latest firmware? I had the same problem with the same model, and the update fixed it.
