Bits & Pieces

Saturday afternoon to evening was all fun and games at the Footscray 1st Ward Christmas Party.

We had our feast, caroling, Santa, and a couple of games to finish off the night.

A few of my friends came along which was great to see but I had forgotten to invite more; I just wasn't thinking straight with all the running around I've been doing and also the youth Christmas party which we will be having this Tuesday to finish off the youth program for this year, and resume February next year.

I've always used a WEP key for my wireless security, but a friend I met in Utah used MAC address filtering. Coming home, I didn't think I would need it, but now I do and have written this little tutorial for enabling and configuring MAC filtering.

MAC filtering isn't full proof, but it will give you that additional protection.

What you want to have is WPA2-PSK, or personal, enabled with a long passphrase of numerals and letters, both lower and upper case, and by using the additional filtering, hackers will need to go through two defenses, rather than just one.

I'll eventually have a section for tutorials on their own, but for now, I'll put it here while I get things organised.
