Get Me To Defcon!

Please check out my site over at http://www.getmetodefcon.com.   It has more details on the actual page itself, but in short:

It is a page I created to help get me to defcon.  Give it a read and at the least you will get a laugh out of it ( i think? ).  Thanks!

Its been a while …

So here is an update:

Right now things I am working on:

  • Linux Email –
    • Exim MTA with MySQL Backend
    • Dovecot vs. Courier-IMAP
    • Setting up Fetchmail, Exim, and Mutt to play nice
    • A simple Web-Frontend framework
      • User Administration
      • Queue / Spool Management
      • Configuration Management
      • *Most likely with AJAX and PHP5
  • Learning C and Brushing on C++
  • Planning out a HTPC configuration … that is worth the time and effort

Short of that, Just working at good ol’ HMS.

Im trying to get to DEFCON this year. So I created a site where people can donate:

http://www.getmetodefcon.com

I expect to be advancing with the EXIM stuff,

If I ever finish working on the worst server migrations ever… Sigh. It never ends.

Im going to be Adding something to the site to house my Apps in the near future.

Until next time…

Put a man on the moon… (or in an apartment)

I am no longer between homes. :)

So a few months and many Ben Franklins later, I have a place. Of course, The only things I own are electronics… So i think its time for some furnishings.

<::(buy me things)::>

Life is good (if you aren’t mike scavitto)

Oh so I think I found my calling in life. Too bad I didn’t find it when I was 6, like this kid. Oh well.

Comedic link of the day

This was brought to my attention recently and its really scary. Pretty much: Don’t ever use upnp or you will be raped.

fin.

EDIT: There was an updated FAQ posted for that uPNP Exploit posted above.. You can find that here

I beat kids

… $this -> $sucks

Okay… so I know the DNS app is a hunk of crap. I have to redo it.

I am lazy and have no time to get stuff done (bad combo).

I’m working on an SMTP class for php because the mail function is a POS.
I see that turning into a never-ending project stemming into a bagillion different directions.

Im going to start Posting perl, batch and bash scripts I have lying around … A submissions page… index and all that crapola will come at some point for other people to post theirs as well. Pretty much, I am lazy and start something and lose interest. I have a ton

Hit me up if you want to help me get some of the crap I need done. Otherwise I’ll be working on it for the next month. I have no access to this here series of tubes outside of work at the moment. So… uuh … In short … Someone help me get some of this shit done.

I leave you with the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. I mean come on… Dude’s name is Sodomsky.

Although it is Kinda scary that the techs would be going thru his hdd. I don’t know why that would be necessary in any way to install a CD drive. Then again, I don’t know why it would be necessary to go to CC to get a CD drive plugged in.

Dude your getting …

Next day shipping on your replacement power adapter for your laptop. Yea … So I stopped in tonight after work and decided to pull out the good ol’ Precision… To my surprise I plug in the power adapter and hear a high pitched Shreik. Eff that noise … I was pissed. I went into Dell’s chat and boom they’re replacing that thing overnight. Gotta love The convenience of going with dell. I feel like one of our customers @ HMS all happy and satisfied after my problem is fixed ;)

So … I have to redo some things on the site. I am going to redo Most of the DNS application. Some of it can be revised. It seems somewhat limited in functionality. More to come on that…

EDIT: Speaking of dell, If you are looking for something for Xmas or … Just for yourself. Try outlet.dell.com … I got my Laptop there, its a Precision M65 [ core2duo 1.6 (maybe?) , 256MB dedicate video memory for the nVidia Quadro 350 (and up to 256 MB shared), XP-Pro, 60GB 5400 rpm hdd, 24x cd-rom, 512 MB DDR2 667MHz w/ a 3 year next-day Warranty.  Price: 960$]
With the help of Newegg, added 2 GB of ram, I got an intel abg3945 MiniPCIe wifi card and swapped the XP pro for ubuntu.

F*cking Robots!

Blame it on the robots… or just actually have sex with them.  Yea .. Some things are just weird. But then again … Is it as weird as doll prostitutes?

Blog-tastic

Yea I guess I decided to go wordpress. I don’t know why. Probably because I feel like posting terrible things I keep seeing I feel should be shared.

For instance, a 12k lb chemical laser Boeing is working on for good old DoD. sigh. Really, who comes up with a Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser?

Oh well. In 2012 we might all get lucky and get pwned like ‘they’ say. Who knows, luckily these guys give us a countdown to our dooms day (Get a load of that guy). Hopefully, even if the world doesn’t rip itself apart that day, at least some crazy motherf*cks will do something entertaining; like cover their heads in tin foil and run naked (other than the tin foil) up and down the road.

Crazies always have a special place in my heart <3

I know there are a ton of divided computer users around nowadays. Between the typical Mac-types, Linux gurus … and the rest usually fall out Windows. Linux magazine had a good article about Ubuntu vs OS X … Just in case you didn’t see it on every other website ever.

I think this qualifies for a good first-post rantification.
