Ubuntu 9.10 – Logitech MX 5500 – Getting keyboard mail notifications to work

First I’d like to say how happy I am that *every* key/mouse button works except the Flip 3D/Zoom keyboard buttons – which I’m going to be working on soon. Everything works out of the box, even horizontal scrolling with mouse wheel tilt left/right. I’m pretty impressed!

With all the keys working and utilities available for the MX5500, getting mail notifications via keyboard is really easy to do. What keyboard notifications am I talking about? In Windows, the keyboard will give a little beep when a new email is received. Also, a mail icon will pop up in the LCD on the keyboard.

DD-WRT350N – USB Multimedia

So I run DD-WRT on my Linksys WRT-350N router. I know the router comes with a media server, allowing music and videos to be played through a wireless connection. My goal is to get this working using DD-WRT, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to do this.

My first step was to upgrade my version of DD-WRT to v24-FINAL. Doing this gave me the option to enable USB via the web control panel. The upgrade went flawlessly. I enabled USB and my external hard drive is connected.

This is where I am right now. I’m doing a bit of reading into where to go from here, but it looks like I’m going to have to install some Optware packages. My main concern now is how much space I have on the router to be able install the packages I will need.

HERE'S THE PLAN: INVESTIGATE BILL READINGER'S FRAUDULENT PROFILE

Bill is a good guy, Bill is a simple guy.  He works, drinks Budweiser, and drives a Camaro.  Bill’s driveway attracts friendly rabbits, wounded squirrels, and Peeps.  Recently, someone “friend” of his made a fraudulent Facebook profile of Bill, thinking it would be funny.  Now, this so called “friend” is receiving personal messages from friends and family.
