Topic: Stuff   Need an original Enigma Machine?
03:56AM March 29, 2006
One of my coworkers sent me this link earlier today. It is an auction of an original Enigma machine used during WWII to encrypt communications. I think of these as museum artifacts, not as items for ebay.

Topic: Stuff   Insightful Thoughts from Jaded People..
08:11PM March 28, 2006
A couple of thoughtful and important quotes from Andy:

General Theory of Relative Stupidity:
"Stupidity is neither created nor destroyed, it is merely transferred from one individual, project or department to another." - Andy Rz. March 14, 1997

The Remyrian Paradox:
"Why is it that there's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it twice?" - Andy Rz. March 19, 1998

Topic: Stuff   It doesn't take a village.
06:52AM February 19, 2005
Pause
Breathe.
Slower.
Wait.
Blank mind.
Go.

Feeling pretty good.
Not much going bad.
Got some homework to do.
Got some bills to pay.
Need to spend life doing something else.
Not quite sure what else yet.

Warmth.
I need to take a trip.
Weeks.
March.
Break.

Roof.
Contemplating a metal one.
First estimate came back at about $11,000.
I was expecting 30% over shingle price, not 220%. WTF?
The house is only 850 sq ft.

This guy justifies "off by default" policies when operating systems are configured.
And shows that most people don't seem to understand that if you put it on the network it is likely to get accessed.
Don't be like Sebastian.

I added two new blogs to the links list on the right that Kevin turned me onto.

Will being more educated actually help me?
For JC's sake.
After dealing with some people I'm being sold on the concept that some people "have it" and some don't.
Education is a part of it.
Trained thinking is a part of it.
Intuition is what really makes the difference.
Common sense is what really makes the difference.
Drive is what makes the difference.
The difference between people who thrive and those who just hold steady or fail.
Dunno.

Topic: Stuff   If I knew what it was I wouldn't call it scary.
05:15AM August 12, 2004

I spent a bit tonight and cleaned out the UX50 FAQ (the frequently asked questions for my PDA). Sometimes I’m amazed at what people will do if they have the ability. I’ve considered turning off all new submissions to the FAQ just to prevent people from abusing it. Some people think it is funny but I just think it is a pain in the ass when someone goes through and adds a bunch of questions/answers that are either worthless or irrelevant. Luckily a couple of them I’ve caught in the process recently. One of them was even originating from a law firm. I thought about emailing the administrator, and then realized that the likelihood of it being the administrator who was posting all the crap was pretty high so I just blackholed that site so they couldn’t access the web server anymore. That stopped the random postings for at least a little bit.

Other than that things have been going well. Been doing stuff with my little, which so far has been an extremely rewarding experience for me and I’m very happy to be involved with, hanging out with friends, Laurakins, working and playing a combination of Doom 3 and Dungeon Siege during special events and as time permits. I hiked flattop a couple times last weekend (once to about half-way and once all the way), saw Spiderman 2, which I really enjoyed, hung out, slept, and generally have been a working during the day and flopping during the night individual.

So now I bring you 10 tons of links… well, maybe not 10 tons.. maybe only 2 tons.

Shoe Vending Machines.. hrm.

Guerilla Biking in the Bronx.. They have some kick-butt footage.

Don’t get mad – hit ‘em with a phone book.

Japan for the Uninvited. Sent to me by Aaron.

Prozac found in drinking water.. I wonder if this means society will become more pleasant over the next couple of decades.

The Cin-O-Matic.

This site has a little chunk of Smart Projectors that can automatically cope with distances, color variations, etc. on the surface that they are being projected on. Pretty awesome stuff. The demo pictures are really impressive.

This collection of photos is pretty neat even if way over color-saturated. I thought about creating a series of pictures out of my own to parody these since they have such an interesting color profile.

If there ever was a PC for Laura this would be it. This is the most adorable case I’ve ever seen.

Darrin sent this to me. Down at the bottom of the page you can click on “Search Spy” and check out what other people are searching for. From my initial viewings it looked like porn and things of that nature were about one in eight searches.

This little car is awesome.. but not for $85,000.

Rick James died this last week. This wouldn’t be news worthy had Dave Chappelle not brought him to my recent memory through his TV show.
