Panasonic DMC Gf-1: New firmware for camera and lenses

My kingdom for an updater that works through USB. I have the GF-1 with 20mm and 14-140mm lenses, so I had to swap the card 4 times to get the individual update files to the card and delet them again. When I put all 3 files on the card the camera would only use 1.
Other than that, the update was easy and painless.

What’s the best firmware for the Linksys WRT54GL?

In my “job” as the weekend admin of my wife’s primary schools IT systems, I have to re-install the schools wireless setup – when the movers worked in the school during summer break, they broke the main DSL WiFi Router, so we had to get a new one.

I got another Linksys WRT54GL of course, as this is the one device that has never failed me yet. It’s been quite some time that I set up a new one, so I’m not up to speed with current developments in alternative formwares.

Here’s what I want to do:

  • set up a WPA2 protected wireless bridge from the DSL modem to the computer room
  • configure OpenDNS as a filter (GREAT solution!)
  • allow for remote management of the infrastructure

So, what do I use? So far I’ve used DD-WRT in most cases, but Tomato is also rumoured to be good. Any recommendations? Other firmwares I should be looking at?

Nokia E61i Firmware 2.0633.65.01 available

Use the Nokia Firmware Update Application to install.

Don’t forget to backup to memory card, otherwise you’ll have to re-install everything (like I do right now – that’s what you get for not reading instructions).

If you’d like to keep current on Nokia Software Updates, you can subscribe to their RSS feed.

No idea what’s new in detail, but going to version 2 must mean something… Maybe A2DP support…?
