Hey OZB! I'm currently working with a friend on a 100% open-source, free, all-in-one 'business hub' application, currently called 'Notified'. It's on GitHub, …

So I have an Optus Netgear CG3000 Modem connected to a D-Link DIR-850L Router (with a couple other switches and APs, though this happened before those). I used to play Garry's Mod with some …
