2/26/2010      Nice two router configuration for home network

I got this from The Linksys Forums

You have one router running in your network. This router connects to the internet. Now you want to hook up a second router (e.g. a wireless router to have wireless access) in your network connecting both with an ethernet cable. The following is in most cases the best approach for home networks. You'll find similar answers with some screenshots in the Linksys Easy Answers, e.g. 4579

The setup:

1. Unplug the second router from anything. Connect a single computer to the router. Do not connect the second router to the first at the moment!

2. Configure the router at http://192.168.1.1/

3. Change the LAN IP address of the second router from 192.168.1.1 to a free address in your LAN (e.g. 192.168.1.2 should be O.K. if the first router is also a Linksys router). The address you change to (192.168.1.2) must not be used by any other device with static IP address in your network nor should be assigned by the DHCP server your network. A default Linksys router uses 192.168.1.1 itself and the DHCP server assigns 192.168.1.100-149.

4. Turn off the DHCP server on the second router.

5. Save the setting.

6. Unplug the computer from the second router.

7. Connect an ethernet cable from a numbered LAN port of the first router to a numbered LAN port of the second router. Do not use the Internet/WAN port on the second router!...

1/5/2010      Comfy Work Spot

So Emily, Etta, and I took a nice little trip down to Hendersonville/Asheville, NC for the week. It is sort of an experiment to see what it is like to have a normal work week in a different location from home. We have been planning on spending some time with our friends down here and we finally had enough by the end of the holidays and after a couple cancelled trips on our behalf, and we decided to take the plunge!

We left Saturday afternoon and stopped half-way in a city just south of Cincinnati on the Kentucky side of the border, it was a great little town that has a nice 'Main Street' strip filled with German restaurants and pubs, we stayed at the Marriott Courtyard for the night and grabbed Waffle House the next morning on our way out. Needless to say this was the perfect second day start to a trip down south. Etta had her first experience at a Waffle House and she couldn't have been happier looking at all of the people, employees, and longing for her side of zasage (sausage.)

Now we are in Hendersonville and I decided to work the later part of the day at a fine little Irish pub in downtown Hendersonville, it's called Hannah Flannigan's. I found a spot on the non-smoking side by the window where the afternoon sun is shining in on what would otherwise be a couple coffee shop living room chairs, I have my pint of Bass Ale, my laptop, free WiFi, and I'm getting work done! This is the best off-site spot I think I've ever worked at....

9/9/2009      Lease has been signed!

So we just had the lease signed for our house, this means we get to move into a bigger place where I can have an office again and Etta can move around and play with her toys in a fun, dedicated area!

We found a house in Ferndale that looks like the one and we will most likely sign on that tomorrow too... everything is moving so fast!

9/8/2009      Etta is walking!

So this past weekend (Labor Day) marks the first time Etta really started walking on her own.

Now she just wants to stand up, try walking, plops down on her butt, then gets right back up and tries to walk again. Our 668 square foot house is a little small for her to make any real strides, but luckily we have somebody coming over tomorrow to sign a lease on our house and the three of us are going to be looking for a bigger place now! The crazy part is that we have to be out of our house in 3 weeks!!!! Story»

8/27/2009      And we're back

So I'm sure most of the former brianbawol.com followers stopped coming here some time ago when I had to change servers and just never got the site back up.

Well I'm back and on my own server at my house now, so I have no excuses.

What has happened in the past... oh... 10 months?

  • Oleinick/Bawol family trip to Hawaii (Maui) for 8 days
  • Etta turned one
  • The Detroit Red Wings lost in the Stanley Cup Playoffs
  • Ted Kennedy Died
  • Michael Jackson Died
  • We got a Subaru Forester for our baby car
  • More buddies had babies
  • ... and much more

I'll sign off with this for now but check back later and maybe I'll get my butt in gear and put up some more content!

11/5/2008      Oh! bama

Wow, I'm going to be honest, I didn't think the country was going to vote in their first leader that has any color other than white skin and gray hair, but in an overwhelming majority Barack Obama was voted in as the next President of the United States! This marks a pretty significant day in the history of this country, let's just not let this be a temporary solution to an even bigger problem. Just because we voted him into office doesn't mean that the people of this country don't still have to shoulder the majority of responsibility in the decisions that are made by the U.S.A. He is not a savior, he has great ideas, and as long as everybody works together and WITH him we can make this time pretty significant and great. On a side note, I've updated some more pics on Etta's Pics Page Story»

John McCain is a smug, slimy, piece of doodie.

Do not vote for him, or you will lose all of my respect.

8/19/2008      Happy Birthday Etta Simone Bawol!

On August 14, 2008 our lives changed when our daughter, Etta Simone Bawol was born at the Alternative Birthing Center at Providence Hospital in Southfield.

She is absolutely the most beautiful thing in the whole wide world and we couldn't be happier! Our past few days have been spent recovering at home and taking it easy as we learn the ins and outs of taking care of a newborn.

She was born at 7:42am last Thursday, she weighed 9lbs 11oz and was 20.24" long. Emily was a total rock star and had her completely natural with no drugs! The whole experience has been amazing and being a part of it has changed my life alone in a way I can't even explain.

Anyways, I have a web album with some pictures up so feel free to check them out!

We have been easing our way with visitors for a few days now but we would love to be able to see all of our family and friends soon to help us share you guys with Etta. In the meantime drop a line if you like and we will keep you posted! Thank you everybody for your support, understanding, and kind words!

Love, Brian, Emily, & Etta
