I was checking out a friend’s MySpace page this evening and saw the whole celebrity look-alike thingy that everyone is doing on their MySpace profiles these days. Well, being a little adventuresome, I decided to give it a try. The application that produces the comparisons is at MyHeritage.com and is a “Web 2.0” application, meaning that everything is done beautifully through your web browser using dynamic client and server-side technologies. My results with the image I used are listed below.
Yes, I do look like Samuel L. Jackson. I knew I did. This just confirms it! I’ll be heading to Tombstone, AZ this week so knowing that I look like Wyatt Earp is a huge plus for me, too!
Until next time…
I have been working at our DR site most of the week preparing hardware and configs for a DR test we are performing this weekend. As I was sitting here in frustration this afternoon waiting for a server to boot up, I decided to browse through the bash.org quotes and see what was going on. When I stumbled upon quote #742386 I started laughing out loud. On a day like today, when things are extremely stressful, this really brightened my spirits. Below is the quote:
<HaX.1337> U're all lame as hell here!!!!! I can hack u all in no time! just tell me your ip and u're dead!
<Maler.home> try mine
<Maler.home> 127.0.0.1
*** Signoff: HaX.1337 (Connection reset by peer)
<Damz|dispute> wow. never thought such a retard nick can get his hands on something actually working xD
I think this is hilarious because this “super 1337 hacker”, better known as a “script kiddie”, found a script that would supposedly bring a remote host down some how. How?! It really doesn’t matter. The funny thing is that he really wasn’t that smart. When he asked for an IP address from the others in the room, “Maler.home” gave him 127.0.0.1. This is the address that every operating system (that I’ve seen anyway… there may be exceptions) assigns to itself, also known as a local loopback address. When the script kiddie ran his nifty hacktool against 127.0.0.1, guess what?! He owned himself, crashed his machine, and was disconnected from the IRC channel. That is too good! I just thought I would share!
On another note, if you don’t check out bash.org, I suggest you take a look at the site and the many different IRC quotes on their. Most of them are extremely hilarious!
Until next time…
Did you know that if your iPod battery is extremely low you can’t even turn it off? Wouldn’t that be the best time to turn it off?
My 30GB Video iPod’s battery indicator was way in the red earlier today (well, yesterday… It is now February 7th and this happened on the 6th) and I tried to turn it off so I could preserve a little battery life for the ride home from work. Wrong! All that happened when I held down the Pause/Play button on the click-wheel was the screen dimmed. Once I released the click-wheel the screen brightened up, so it could use even more battery life, and just kept playing or would pause the music. Hmmm…
I have been meaning to blog about this for the past few days but haven’t had a chance to sit still long enough to do it. I recently set my drums up in the dining room of my house (no, there’s no table or chairs in there, just drums). I am trying to hit around on them a little bit when I can find the time and when I think the neighbors are in good spirits… Basically, I have played them like 3 times since I set them up a week or so ago.
I came home from work Thursday night and when I walked through the door I saw something emerging from within my bass drum. It was my cat Jaycee, a.k.a. el gato grande*. I couldn’t get to my camera in time to get any shots of her, so I tried to shove her back in the bass drum but she wasn’t having it. I set my camera out on the island in my kitchen hoping she would go back in there at some point that night, but she didn’t.
Friday night when I came home from work I jumped in the shower real quick. When I was taking my dirty clothes/towel/washcloth to the laundry room I saw that Jaycee was in the bass drum again. Sweet! I tried as hard as I could not to pay any attention to her because I knew she would come out of the drum and want to give her daddy some loving. I quickly threw my dirty clothes in the laundry room and grabbed my camera.
…Comes Around.
Last night, Joey (a.k.a. WooleyBooger on Xbox Live) and I were playing Test Drive® Unlimited together and were getting a bit wild the longer we drove around. I was sporting my Lamborghini Murcielago and Joey was driving his 25th Anniversary Edition of the Lamborghini Countach. We were driving all over the island and happened to stumble upon another Xbox Live (XBL) gamer on a motorcycle lining up at one of the unofficial drag strips within the game. Here’s where the madness began…
