This is yet another, Chinese owned sushi restaurant. We sat at the bar and the chef had a scared look on his face when my buddy asked me if we should do “omakase”. I’m fairly certain he didn’t know what that meant. This place is okay. Their “shari” (rice) really sucks. It had no taste – not salty, not sweet, not sour. Their fish though that day was very fresh and tasted very good. After one piece of nigiri, we did sashimi for the rest of the night. The chef at the bar was lame. We tried ordering from him and he seemed to acknowledge our orders, but never fulfilled them. He told us that he was very busy and we would have better luck ordering with the waiters. That was pretty disappointing. We took 3% off of his tip for that and I don’t expect to go there again.

Saturday, May 10th, 2008Hottest Women MMA Fighters?
Saturday, May 10th, 2008Who are they? Thus far, I see 4 of them.
Gina Carano – obviously, hot as hell! She’s pretty damn popular and seems more interested in being on TV with American Gladiators and Fight Girls than fighting, which I think is a very smart move, especially since she’s given that opportunity. She definitely can fight though – perfect record thus far and did fight in Thailand.
Shayna Baszler- saw her on EliteXC – an excellent, excellent submission artist! She trains with Josh Barnett, former UFC champion – she likes to party with the guitar.
Carina Damm – saw her fighting on BoDog Fight – a pretty good promotion I must say. I’m surprised it isn’t more popular. I expect good things from the promotion as the commentators aren’t too bad – much better than King of the Cage. The fighters are generally younger and inexperienced, but I guess they’re not dishing out the massive cash. She’s obviously cute as hell, but I don’t think she’s going to be a great fighter either – excellent capoeira, very flexible but I think she might just be too small. She had an excellent fight against Molly Helsel – great war, but in my opinion, she just outpointed her.

Michelle Waterson – star from the TV show Fightgirls on the Oxygen network. Very beautiful, excellent form, but I don’t think she’s that good of a fighter.
How to Flash an AirLink101 AR430w router with DD-WRT firmware
Wednesday, May 7th, 20081. Connect cable to WAN port and power on router
Download contents from: http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/down.php?path=downloads%2Frelease+candidates%2FDD-WRT+v24+RC7%2FAtheros+WiSoc%2FAirlink+101+AR430W/
2. Set your host IP to 192.168.20.80 (Don’t bother with any values in DNS Server/Alternate DNS)
3. ping -t 192.168.20.81
4. Run PuTTY/PuttyTel (YOU MUST USE PUTTY – SecureCRT and the regular Windows telnet DON’T WORK!) and set port to 9000 with Telnet option. – on the 2nd ping, hit open to connect to the router on 192.168.20.81. If you miss this, you may need to reset the router and try again.
You’ll see:
You’ll probably get these messages:
/releases/svn.porsche/redboot-ar231x/redboot-ar231x/redboot_cobra/ecos/packages/devs/eth/mips/ar531x/current/src/ae531xecos.c#390:ae531x_send AHB ERROR: AR531X_DEBUG_ERROR = 00000145

It’s safe to ignore them.
5. Started TtftpSrv in background.
In the screen, run:
load ap61.ram
go
6. change host IP to 192.168.1.23 and then change your command prompt window to run: “ping -t 192.168.1.1″
7. with putty, telnet to 192.168.1.1 9000
You’l see: DD-WRT>
Unfortunately, after this, it’s a little shaky as to what I did. If you do all of these steps in this order, it should work.

Then run:

This will take forever. This would probably be a good time to set your telnet session so that putty doesn’t timeout and die.

By the way, here’s the end result:
Flashing the Airlink AR430W woes …
Sunday, May 4th, 2008Timing needs to be right in getting into the damn Redboot – takes forever.
Trick is to do a ping in one window and when you see 2 pings, use putty to connect to 192.168.20.81 port 9000. Another command prompt window WILL NOT work.
Then, ran into this issue:
/releases/svn.porsche/redboot-ar231x/redboot-ar231x/redboot_cobra/ecos/packages/devs/eth/mips/ar531x/current/src/ae531xecos.c#390:ae531x_send AHB ERROR: AR531X_DEBUG_ERROR = 00000145
Not sure if that’s an issue.
Then, try loading the ap610.rom and go and it reboots. Will try following the instructions from here http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=23510&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=240 tomorrow.
