I’m just lurking around..
Since I am sitting at work on my last day, with nothing to do.. I upgraded the ole blogaroo and a few other things.
I went to the embassy this morning to have more pages added to my passport. I have to say I was impressed with the efficiency of the citizen services group. Perhaps the visa group isn’t so efficient though.
Not looking forward to the flight back…

I don’t feel like breaking this down any further right now. Google Analytics is a easy to use tool for gathering metrics. However, I do not believe this accounts for readers using RSS or feed aggregators, so again, these numbers reflect direct visitors.
w00t for Firefox!
And to the UAE brothers, assalam calaykumm.
Doing a little research on BPAs, while there is no definite proof that nalgenes are harmful, why risk it. Especially since some of the studies say that nalgenes are completely safe if you replace them every 6 months. That kind of defeats the purpose, now doesn’t it.
So what are some alternatives if you don’t want to wait till march 2008, when camlebak releases their no-BPA water bottles? Here are a few..
kleankanteen.com- High quality, durable, stainless steel “kanteens..”
sigg.ch- Aluminum canteens, most with ceramic linings for those worried about the possiblity of aluminum related sicknesses.
As for other plastic bottles, the plain white nalgenes do not have BPA in them. Other things to pay attention to when buying a bottle, look at the plastic indicator on it. All type 7 plastics have BPAs in them, so the idea is to avoid those. Or buy a new one every six months..
This is by far one of the coolest dish driers that I have ever seen. Great design even though it resembles a spinal column..
Takes me back to middle school and high school when I would change the locks of the kids I hated. I think I found out how to do this in an old episode of phrack or 2600 from the bbs days.. Once you do this a few times, you can shimmy it open in about 5 seconds..
Interesting reading about current botnets and storming..
Coincidentally, I have been playing with some passive honeypots, just to see what kind of attacks I am seeing on the fibre connect I have at my apartment. Not much to my surprise, most attacks are originating from chinese and russian ip addresses. I am still trying to fingerprint the probes and see what the trojan being used is or if it is in fact a trojan versus someone just probing for holes. Fun times.
SOCOM for the PSP is fun. 2 kyu study is not.
