I seem to remember posting somethign on the old site about the “ultimate toolkit”. Well, here it is. I want one of these. Too bad it’s $450. Maybe I’ll save up my pennies. Or just make my own; there’s a good list of ingredients there, and I’m pretty sure I can get one of those attache-style cases at Altex or the Container Store or something. Maybe after I get back from Vegas I’ll look into it. ...
here’s a hint: We can’t search for you by your password. Nobody in the world could accurately search for you by your password. here’s why: let’s say Phil has the username “phil01”. His password is “letmein”. now, let’s say Amy has the username “asmith45”. Her password is also “letmein”. Now multiply those two users by 1000. 2000 users, any of whom may have any password. If I do a search for people with the password “letmein”, I could potentially get hundreds of responses. If I do a search for username “phil01”, on the other hand, I get exactly one response. That’s why usernames are unique, and it’s why I Ask you for your username. If I’d wanted your password, I’d have asked for it. It’s not like the words “username” and “password” sound remotely alike, either. ...
. . . and like that, I’d succeeded. Turns out that if you use the IP address of your default route in the"ip route" statement, instead of the interface name (like “Ethernet0/0”), it cuts WAY down on the arp requests, and it makes it so the router functions properly. You also get to turn off proxy-arp requests, which (what with all the viruses these days that replicate thousands of times a second) cuts your memory usage by 2/3 or more. ...
I got a little disc golf in this morning; I was bored, and since I’m awake for some reason, there you go. I know that sentence doesn’t make a lot of sense. “Shot” an 80 at Searight. That’s like 26 over par, but it’s also 10 under my best score to date. Now I just need to work on my 15+ foot putts, and I’ll be in business. Maybe I’ll set up a trash can outside, and practice. ...
Don’t you hate it when you go to bed, but instead of falling asleep like you expect, you toss & turn for 4 or 5 hours? That’s what happened to me this morning. I finally gave up trying to fall asleep at 2-ish, and went out for some food. I’m not sure what meal it was, though; it was pre-morning for my usual sleep schedule, but still lunchtime for “regular” people. ...
I saw this on slashdot (posted by wansu): … with hurricanes, trees fall on buildings. With earthquakes, buildings fall on trees. Always nice to have a laugh first thing in the morning.
All that work, and I was defeated by the crappy second-hand routers we bought. But I think I figured out what it was. It looks like we’ve got a machine with Code Red somewhere in the routable network, and I didn’t have proxy-arp disabled. Hopefully, the next time we meet, I will no fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, “Hello. " um, wait a second. ...
The hardest part about any site on the net is coming up with new content. That’s my biggest problem right now, aside from the boredom. Anyway, I was reading The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (well, actually it was the third sequel, the one with Fenchurch in it), and I realized/decided that I need something similar, but designed for the handheld-sized computers we have today, instead of for the fictional micro-sub-meson electronic component that was The Guide. ...
Wow, it’s like I put up a new site every day or two. Anyway, I’ve got a DVD database in the toybox. I’ll probably move it somewhere (more) permanent in a few days. I already put in all the DVDs I could remember owning, and I’ll update it again when I get up this afternoon. Feel free to log in with the guest account (guest1/guest1) and look around. Oh, and it’s designed to be multi-user, so if you have more than 2 DVDs (and are likely to use something like this), please make an account. When I wake up, I’ll activate it. ...
I can understand Texans (me included) not knowing how to drive on (in?) ice; I mean, it’s Texas. Limited experience pretty much calls for a lack of knowledge in the subject. But I was just stuck behind some moron going 30 in a 65 zone. That’s just wrong. It’s only rain; once you’re moving, even in a standard, the hardest part is remembering to turn on your wipers. On the other hand, I managed to work in 9 holes of disc golf down at Pease park before it was raining too hard to see the baskets. So the day balances out (in my mind). ...
