I’m gonna use this to record interesting/useful information on computer security. Starting off with a post on switch hardening - these are complex switches we’re talking about: http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=6910&rss;…
Read more »Well, I’m disappointed by the way Picasa handles geotagging photos in Linux. It looks like the newest version doesn’t support geotagging. Not only that, but when it resizes images to upload to Picasa on the web, it kills any EXIF information that may have specified a location. What the heck Picasa? Why you gotta clobber my shit? I can preserve the geotags by uploading directly from my G1 (slow), or by going to the Picasa website and uploading from there (can’t do a batch upload, also can’t resize automatically).…
Read more »Here’s my current chili recipe. This one is going to be awesome when it’s all done. It’s good enough right now that I have a hard time sticking to my plan to make it awesome without the spiciness, then add the spicy in later. The last few times I’ve made it I’ve added in the peppers… Shame on me. It’s just too tasty to resist. 1 can bush kidney beans 1/2 can bush pinto beans 1 lb browned ground beef 1 can hunts diced tomatoes 1.…

Read more »I planted 10 of my Chiltepin seeds today. At Lowes, I picked up some seedling mix, a 11.5" clay dish and a 10" plastic dish insert. These are chili peppers that are used to dry climates, and several websites I’ve seen suggest the seeds should not be watered too much. To avoid problems with overwatering, I poked holes in the bottom of the plastic dish, filled the clay dish with sand, then put the plastic dish containing the soil on top.…

Read more »PSA: Don’t follow Starbucks’ directions for making coffee if you like it black. Backstory: I usually make four cups of coffee whenever I need some. I’m feeling particularly lazy (it’s a Saturday and I got excused from going into the office to get shot at) and I’d like to get some exercise, so I put a pot on. That’s four cups based on the coffee pot markings. Starbucks’ directions say use 2 Tbsp (10 grams) per 6 fl oz.…
Read more »Why does Arnold Schwarzenegger rock so much? I’m sitting on the couch, watching True Lies and Jamie Lee Curtis is trying to screw around with another man. Why? Because she doesn’t know the true Arnold. For those who haven’t seen the movie, Schwarzenwhatever is a spy for the US. Come on, ladies love that kinda stuff, right? Anyway, what is Curtis thinking? Then there’s his other movie. Commando. What is the most awesome part of Commando?…
Read more »Ok, so tonight, lying in bed, I had a few cool story ideas. If someone steals these to make a book, well, congratulations, your mind is as insane as mine. Plus, you have to send me one free review copy. That’s all I ask. The important part here is that an entire story line gets planned out (the story line doesn’t matter right now) and it’s a five book series. The author writes the fifth book first, and he (I’m a guy) writes it as if it’s the only one that’s going to be written, and no previous books are planned.…
