Many moons ago I had a “pics” directory on my website full of random crap, with a bunch of subdirectories also full of random crap. Among these was the pics/misc directory full of anything I found on the internet that was remotely funny, useful, or offensive (usually the latter). I knew nothing about scripting at [...]

Saw this article on Digg today (clicky for full text): U.S. Military are now looking for ways to weaponize hacking. From the article: U.S. Defense Department officials were so impressed with the level of coordination between ground military ops and cyberattacks against strategical targets during the recent conflicts, that they are now looking for ways [...]
Stumbled on this a little earlier. At first it just looked like some kind of vintage computer book. I like those just from the standpoint of seeing what people back in the day thought stuff would be like now. Then I actually started reading it, and it’s been edited a little. It gets funnier as [...]

So I got bored and impulsive on Tuesday. It’s a stylized version of the greek letter Phi, got it on the inside of my right forearm. It represents the Golden Ratio. I got the design from a similar one I found surfing around. For the lazy, it’s a number that shows up all over the [...]

New season of Beauty and the Geek started recently . I greatly dislike reality TV, but this show is host to some of the most hilarious comments and most awkward social interactions. Watching the 2 most opposite ends of society crammed into close quarters is too good to pass up. Comedy gold. Originally published at [...]
I got my review at work a few days ago, and it went pretty well in my opinion. My boss sat me down and asked me how I thought I was doing. I’d been dealing with some… “reservations”… at work recently so I thought I’d lay it all down on the line. I told him [...]
So Comcast has been doing this really sneaky thing to try and cut back on traffic in general. Bittorrent constitutes a significant percentage of overall traffic on the net, so Comcast is all like “hey, we can mess with that lol”. They got this program that seeks out Comcast customers with active bittorrent streams and [...]
