It was a busy weekend, one filled with baseball-watching, party attendance, delicious kitchen adventures, videogame acquisition and a screening of the better part of D.E.B.S. thanks to Logo (they're sexy female high-school-aged assassins who can't be stopped — except, perhaps, by the charms of equally sexy arch-villainess Lucy Diamond). But along the way I also managed to conquer my technical problem du jour: getting transparent proxying with URL rewriting working under OpenWRT.

Those interested can read about the associated trials and tribulations here — it proved to be a just-tough-enough nut to crack. Those not interested can click here and scroll down to see how this particular technical configuration can be put to mildly hilarious ends. All in all a pretty satisfying experience, and one that's left me considerably less intimidated and more impressed with OpenWRT than I expected to be. One weekend is about the right amount of time for a geeky challenge.
