It’s been many, many years but the boys from H block 10 are re-uniting for a one-time show! In just a few days (Saturday, September 24, 2011) the original lineup, consisting of Adam Coolong, Justin Sirota, James Kinsey and yours truly (Ben Ducklow) are getting back together for show in honor of our good friend, Jeremy Carlsruds’ Day of Birth celebration! We’ll be playing at The Buck in located in the quaint, quiet college town of Menomonie, WI.

After a special request from Jer a few months ago, he managed to stir up some interest from me and the guys who once rocked various bars, clubs and cornfields in the greater Twin Cities and western Wisconsin area. We’ve got Adam who happened to have a few days off from his busy Irish acoustic 2-man band, the Wild Colonial Bhoys, Justin (who was able to fly in from Los Angeles, California) and of course, Jimmy and myself (who have been performing as part of the Two Fisted Leroys over the past few years).

We’re 1 out of 3 bands performing that evening and are in the middle slot – we should go on about 10pm-ish. We’ll be playing alot of the tracks off our 2001 release titled, “The Struggle” such as Dare I, Mistaken, Come Out You Black and Tans as well as some songs written and performed after that release such as Through A Bombsight and Soccer Mom. BRING YOUR EARPLUGS!

So if your looking for a reason to take a road trip or you’re in the area, hit me up so we can meet up!

A Linksys WPC54Gv2 Hack

Have a Linksys WPC54G version 2 PCMCIA wireless card? You want to connect it to a WPA2 encrypted wireless network? If you were like me (and were using the standard/out-of-the-box Linksys Windows drivers) it will not work.

After scouring the web, I came across a small little site that had a resolution to this issue. The fix was to basically over-ride the standard Windows/Linksys drivers with ones from another make/model. These drivers provide full support the WPA2 wireless security protocol and have been rock solid as far as stability.

I’m not sure why Linksys doesn’t supply a driver/firmware update that supports WPA2 on the WPC54G card. Pherhaps they think the card is simply too old. Well the heck with them, this card works great!

I’m here to pass on this little technical tidbit in case someone out there runs into the same issue. See the original post from EneergE here: Howto: WPA2 support on pcmcia WPC54G version 2.0 or download the drivers from here as well.

Good luck!
