Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2009 4:59 Post subject: You know you're a dd-wrt HO when.....
1. You check the EKO folder daily For new builds.
2. You have a special tool just for doing hard resets.
3. You know where that special tool IS right now.
4. ....Because you hide it.
5. You actually have an opinion about the differences between Eko builds and BS builds....and you are quite willing to argue about this.
6. When you see Shawn360 as the last post, you know what he has said.
7. You can spot a "posts=1" noob without looking to the left of the post.
8. You expected this post to mention peacocks.
9. Your wife falls to sleep while you are on this forum.
10. You know the difference between the peacock thread and the catfish thread.
11. You carry a spare jtag cable in the car....just in case.
12. You have, on occasion, bricked your router...just for fun.
13. You know why the ball in my avatar has three holes in it.
14. You have watched youtube videos on flashing dd-wrt, and have a favourite.
15. You buy routers just to see how dd-wrt runs on them, and have a favourite.
16. When you see someone has a bricked router, you ask them to send it to you.
17. You come to this forum....for the humour.

Disturbing hidden message, or coincidence?
You decide.
But before you decide, you might want to ask Donny if he is "pulling an all nighter".
Thank you for your concern.

How about.....
The first thing in the morning is you check the news, weather, and dd-wrt.com
By the time you get home from work and see an newer build, flash it, and configured the way that you want with all kinds of goodies, It is time to leave for work again. _________________ WRT-350N v1.0; 128MB RAM, WPC600N, Dual USB, Mini+USB+FTP NEWD, CPU@330Mhz, Terk WF-R x3, Serial, external jtag, and working on SD Mod.

24. You leave the case off your router, so the jtag terminals are easier to get to.
25. You carry pictures of router motherboards around, in your briefcase, even on trips.
26. You try to explain this thread to someone...and can't understand why they DON'T get the humour.
27. When you see someone mention SP1 you think "eewwww...yuck!"
28. You know when Barryware regained employment
29. and you were happy about it
