Tech News: I’ve said it often enough… students are hackers in sheep’s clothing. This true too… “the majority of academic networks are tempting targets for hackers because of their lack of security, abundance of bandwidth and overworked administrators.”University systems a haven for hackers – Tech News – CNET.com World News: Don’t approach a U.S. Navy…
Seems like Xanga is limping along at the moment. In an effort to further complicate my bloggings… news here. Real rants over there. Tech News: Found this by following an article on Slashdot. Thinking this would be good to implement. How to Defeat Bad Web Robots With Apache Only has experimental Apache 2.0 support. Maybe 4.2.1 will fix…
Work Saturday morning was not terrible. I hear we were complimented. Noticed I had a tendency to cradle my hands in front of me. Think that is a weird nervous habit. Went driving yesterday afternoon. Followed this “bike trail” for 75 miles. Figure it must go across the state along some of the most backwater…
Get to work on a Saturday. Gotta love firewalls. They block what ever they are configured to intercept… such as TTF files attached to emails. Anyone getting 20 copies a day of the Klez worms? I base my popularity on how many viruses I get from people. Since some of the recent ones like Magistr,…
Kinda thinking about this post by Vixenz. I wonder why the 7 wonders of the modern world (the 1918 one) went away from landmarks?

Harvard, UCLA, and MIT have not even set up P3P files. MIT does not even have a privacy statement from the home page. Coming back to more local, the major univeristies in the…
DMVs are the spawns anti-christ. People who are in a bind and screwed and trying to get a beauracracy to change their rules just for them are now in my oprion worse. This girl had to get her license for her job. She has needed for a while, but was told by some idiot to come back…
Blood, guts, gore, and yelling. Those are the principle features of a bunch of males at a party. When the party involves people showing off their PDAs, you KNOW it is a bunch of geeks and nerds. We are what we are. I did go down to the Florida Renaissance Festival. I enjoyed it. Probably…
It has been a long week. Thankfully the weekend is nigh. Thinking about going to the Ren Fair nearby tomorrow. This is the last weekend for it. Tomorrow is an Anime party. Some good blood, guts, and explosions I hope. Looking back, my own anime collection is quite pathetic. Will have to rectify the situation.…
