Django template for RFC-822 time format used in RSS feeds
<!--
Django template snippet that gives the current time,
as an "RFC-822 compliant" date-time suitable for RSS feeds.
Of course, you will probably never need to use this, since
generating RSS feeds via Django templates isn't the best way ...
you should use the Django feed syndication framework instead
( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/syndication/ )

Getting a Motorola SBG6580 into “Bridge” mode

Getting a Motorola SBG6580 into “Bridge” mode on TimeWarner Wideband

  1. Unplug coax cable from Motorola
  2. Hold down the white reset button on the back panel with a pen for 30s.  This resets all settings to factory defaults. The modem will be auto-reconfigured once you plug in the coax cable.
  3. When modem is back on plug in a computer with an Ethernet cable into the modem.
  4. Connect to http://192.168.0.1 and login with “admin” / “motorola”
  5. Now you will make some changes:
 
  • Wireless -> Primary Network -> Disabled
