So Friday was Chris's 21st birthday. A couple of his friends at school decided to throw him a party so I headed down to San Marcos at about 3. I got there, I brought my nifty new Powerbook with me, so we played a little WoW (ran Scarlet Monastery Library for those that care) while Carrie and Tanny set everything up. At about 7 I think we headed ( Read more... )

the people that make kismac figured out a way to set the apple airport extreme card in passive mode.  this means you can grab packets out of the air and break into networks.  this is a good thing, especially if you happen to find a WEP secured network you want to use.

Third entry today, wooo.  Anyway, I was complaining about how the software I was testing sucked (as is my job) and basically said that the developers were lazy, and my test lead said something to the effect of "Remember you said that when you're in development", I, of course, said that if I was in dev I'd fix it (since in this case it would be ( Read more... )

It may not be as classy as some of the other drinks I enjoy (barring you know the "Leg Spreader" and "Stephanie's Peach") but damn if Crown and Jolt cola isn't really good.

Also, the juice of one half of a meyer lemon, shot of gin, and a bit of sugar isn't a bad drink either, and that is a classy drink.

So i didn't post it on here but I have to say that I've gone to the crazy nutjob side of the computer world, at least partially.  I've decided it was time to buy a Mac.  So Sunday I went and bought a 15 inch Powerbook.
It is pretty badass.  I'm still not sure if I could ever go totally Mac (in fact I'm quite certain that from now on I'll have both ( Read more... )

My company's security officer just sent out a DoD brochure about blogs.  I think it's kind of cool and funny that I would need to say this, but it's one of the tips ( Read more... )

To expand on that last entry, yes I did sit in a meeting (which turned out to be 1.5 hours long) where 45 minutes of it involved discussing what the version number of the software we were going to release (in mid-November mind you) and what justifies incrementing a version number.  It was the easiest work you can do, but damn is it boring.  In ( Read more... )

45 minutes on fucking version numbers.  VERSION NUMBERS!

I think I understand how thirteen year old girls can fall in love with some lame boy band singer, because I think I have a similar crush.  Granted, mine is in a talented band started by actors that turned out to be better musicians, but I still have that little girl draw to Jenny Lewis.  Rilo Kiley was on ACL tonight, and it was pretty much the ( Read more... )

I love high-alcohol belgian beers.  Not only do they taste good, are served in a cool glass (see my moblog for an example) but you have a good buzz going after a bit over a pint and a half (one 750 mil bottle).  The one I'm going with tonight is St. Bernardus Abt 12, which grew on me.  I didn't like it on the first glass, but by the third I'm ( Read more... )
