Splitting this blog by categories?

I am considering a split in the long term if that would improve user experience. What I still need to figure out is what to do with multidisciplinary articles.

    IMHO tagging is the best solution to handle flexible categorization. By defining a(n extensible) list of major tags or keywords to each category and then using exactly one of them for each blog post - or sometimes more when a post cannot be classified under a specific topic - with additional, more specific tags, you can help both your readers and search engines (e.g. tags can be used as keywords). Nowadays tagging is a wide-spread categorization alternative, even in the 140 characters world of Twitter community (#hashtags). Some argue that simple categorization with pre-defined and well-defined disjunct categories is better, it depends on how much of flexibility you need.

    Thank you for your comment and good suggestion, my friend. I almost replied with a page-long response about issues regarding feed followers and advertising, but thankfully I've Searched-The-Fantastic-Web just in time! ;-)

    That is, if the following still works, I won't need anything else (other than cleaning up my tags a bit):

    Thanks again for your support!

Tftp secret of TL-WR740N uncovered

I've found out that even this particular entry level router supports anti-bricking, so there's no need for soldering, unless of course you are modding. The method I used is the following: Set up a tftp server  on your PC and verify if it works correctly (configuration, permissions, firewalls, etc.) Rename your target firmware to wr740v4_tp_recovery.bin and copy it to your base folder (by default /tftpboot). I tested with openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr740n-v4-squashfs-factory.bin r43602. Set up the following static IP for your PC: 192.168.0.66 /255.255.255.0. If you're not sure about the firmware name on a different model, start a packet sniffer on your PC ( tcpdump -i eth0 -n -l ) and look for the name in the RRQ message. Preferably disconnect WAN from the router Connect the PC to a LAN port Power off the router Press and hold the reset button Power on the router After the leftmost (power) LED and the rightmost (padlock) LED turn on alone in a few seconds, release

Hidden TFTP of TP-Link routers

I did some more investigation after the positive results with the TL-WR740Nv4  (click the link to get introduced to the way of recovery). Most users report that devices and firmware updates released after a point in time usually have this mode enabled. If a firmware update is available from the vendor for your device, it's a good idea to apply that update before installing OpenWRT or dd-wrt UNLESS you own something for which upgrading will ensure incompatible with OpenWrt, like a TL-WR730N , and possible some other models (please report). Note that some old models have newer updates in different languages, those may also be worth a try ( TODO : compatibility?). Also remember that later on, tftp recovery will need a type of firmware image without a boot loader, so strip it with dd if yours has it ( grep U-Boot , or check the filename). Positive reported claims so far (personal results highlighted): TL-WDR4300 router 192.168.0.86 server 192.168.0.66 query wdr4300v1_tp_recovery.b
