dept. of homepage security?

by Rob Friesel

Via Wired News: “Campaign Sites Lack Security” My favorite part: “Several of the faults are critical; they can be easily exploited with serious repercussions,” said the researcher. “And the fact I could run this scan remotely points to the complete lack and utter uselessness of their network security.” Maybe it’s just me… But if you […]

movin’ on in.

by Rob Friesel

Ah yes… The move. Where did we leave off? I owe pictures (see below). The good: The house roxxors my boxxors. The bad: The couch didn’t quite make it through the 30″ door into the living room (but we’ll just see about that in the long run…) And how are we? Sore-sore-sore. And still “net […]

living things.

by Rob Friesel

random thought while driving home this p.m. Since 99.9% of our CDs are in a box for the move, I made myself this mix CD-R recently to “get me through” the assorted necessary driving. ANYWAY one of the tracks I burned was BT’s “Fibonacci Sequence” — the full version off of the bonus disc of […]

wishlist.

PCMCIA card adapter that plugs in via Firewire. (Instead of these that we have seen simply quite enough of…) Firewire based 802.11g adapter for the older iBooks. Similar to the Netgear MA111 USB adapter. But G. And Firewire. Tabber browser (or browser plug-in) that reminds me of the referrer of a given page that has […]

u@who$

by Rob Friesel

Couple of recent, fairly random conversations recently have me snickering and/or pondering at what our machine host names are and what they say about us. What conventions have we adopted? Scorned? How are our values or senses of humor reflected in the couple of characters before the $ prompt? What face fo you put on […]

rooooooooooound-up!

Essential reading: Cory Doctorow’s DRM talk to/for the Microsoft dev milieu. I’m an edge case here, but I’m a leading edge case. If Apple succeeds in its business plans, it will only be a matter of time until even average customers have upgraded enough hardware and bought enough music to end up where I am. […]

SMG.

by Rob Friesel

Seems the only thing that Cory Doctorow got wrong is that it’s “Sister Machine Gun” and not “Sister Machinegun”. Otherwise: B’gock! Timing being what it is, I’d *just*just*just* re-discovered Positron! Records… A & I have caned the Eco-hed album to death for years now (not to mention Micronaut…) and all of the sudden the other […]

summer.

by Rob Friesel

When spring sprang, nobody around here noticed it. It was still cold and precipitous and… Well, as my buddy Scott said: “Vermont has 4 seasons — almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.” But we noticed when summer settled in and stretched its big arms out. In the middle of all this chaotic moving madness, […]
