The Way of the Rake

My friend Dustin came over last night and droped off a cd that contained a video that we filmed last summer.


He edited it and he and I “starred” in it.  Its about 4.3 megs and is in quicktime format.


Enjoy! :)

I am working on putting a new dual CPU workstation together for myself.  It will have a kicken windowed case and all that other fun stuff.  I will give you guys some pics as its being built.

Chilie cook off

Posted by | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 28-05-2004

My chickie and I did a chilie cook off today.  This was the first time I have ever made chilie in my life and DAMN it turned out good! :)


I will post the recipe tomorrow.  I took the recipe that gryphn normaly uses (my favorite) and also used ideas from the recipes of world champion chilie.   It was good stuff.

Watch this movie!

Yet another predictable worm in the wild. Bagel or Beagal depending on the site you are reading. Its another worm that requires one to run an attatched .exe file to become infected. I don ‘t think this worm is bad… I consider digital natural selection.

Nuff said.

From Bruce Schneiers most recent Crypto-Gram

The U.S. system of government has a basic unwritten rule: the


government should be granted only limited power, and for limited


purposes, because of the certainty that government power will be


abused. We 've already seen the US-PATRIOT Act powers granted to the


government to combat terrorism directed against common


crimes. Allowing the government to create the infrastructure to


collect biometric information on everyone it can is not a power we


should grant the government lightly. It 's something we would have


expected in former East Germany, Iraq, or the Soviet Union. In all of


these countries greater government control meant less security for


citizens, and the results in the U.S. will be no different. It 's bad


civic hygiene to build an infrastructure that can be used to facilitate


a police state.

Rhyme & Reason

Oh well oh well so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
How can I turn to it
‘Cause I ‘m all locked up in this
Dark place -
And I do not know
I ‘m as good as dead
My head aches -
Warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain

My head won ‘t leave my head alone
And I don ‘t believe it will
Until I ‘m dead and gone
My head won ‘t leave my head alone
And I don ‘t believe it will
Until I ‘m six feet underground

How long I ‘m tied up
My mind in knots -
My stomach reels
In concern for what I might do or
What I ‘ve don
It ‘s got me living in fear
Well I know these voices must
Be my soul
I ‘ve had enough I ‘ve had enough of being alone
I ‘ve got no place to go

My head won ‘t leave my head alone
And I don ‘t believe it will
Until I ‘m dead and gone
My head won ‘t leave my head alone
And I don ‘t believe it will
Until I ‘m six feet under ground

Six feet under
In y grave
Lying wired and shut and quiet in my grave
Leave me here
Leave me here to waste here
So young and here I am again
Talking to myself
A T.V. blares
Oh man
Oh how I wish I didn ‘t smoke
Or drink to reason with my head

But sometimes this thick confusion
Grows until I cannot bear it at all
Needle to the vein
Needle to the vein
Take this needle from my vein my friend
I said

My head won ‘t leave my head alone
And I don ‘t believe it will
Until I ‘m dead and gone
My head won ‘t leave my head alone
And I don ‘t believe it will
Until I ‘m dead and gone

In my grave
Lying
Lying cold in my grave
The reason -
My reason
Take my head off this terror
The fearing won ‘t come back
I can ‘t see
My mind ‘s all wiped clean
The needle
Make my great escape
I seem caught in time
My head leaves me behind
Body fall cold
And I see heaven

At work I am currently working on an Office 2003 theme for our editor product. It looks REALY nice! Can ‘t wait for the release to hear what people say about it.

We got rid of our land line phone the other day and are now exclusively using our cell phones. If anyone needs the new number just fire me off an email.

Thats about it for now. Back to work.

Best anti-crap software

Posted by | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 28-05-2004

If anyone has any suggestions on software that I should check out or review please post a comment.  Here is the stuff that I currently use and will review.


SpyWare and MalWare: adAware
PopUps: Alexa ToolBar
Spam: SpamAssassin (server side)
AntiVirus: None


If an all in one solution exists I would love to hear it.  Also let me know if you would like reviews of client side firewall software (like Black Ice).
