when i bought a server from pcusa.com i thought i was getting a really good deal, it turns out i was wrong. it went well at first, but soon when the server became heavily loaded for extended periods of time it was hard crashing. there was nothing in the log that would indicate a bad disk or bad memory.
i decided to go down to the colo to investigate. the server was hot enough to fry an egg on. when i pulled it out on the rails and removed the "void warranty if removed" sticker, then the cover, i noticed that one of the fans that should have been blowing on the motherboard (not the cpu fans) was off... it wasn't plugged in because the cable wouldn't reach the motherboard. this really pissed me off. that's not the way to build a computer... any-who i just rearranged the way the cable was run and it plugged in just fine... i took the cover with me though because i'm going to cut holes in the top for more ventilation.
joy, pcusa sucks

It's already the costliest High School ever built, with over $175 million spent on it so far. It has been put on hold for the last 4 years due to it being built on top of a major earthquake fault and an oil field that is leaching methane and hydrogen sulfide gas. The plan as it stands now is to tear down 2 buildings that are directly above the fault and build 2 more elsewhere, as well as install pipes and monitoring systems to keep the toxic gasses in check.

On my last day in japan, after coming back from Hong Kong and staying up all night to ward off jet lag I made my journey by train to visit the World?s fastest supercomputer. I had emailed the general contact address before I left for Japan and I had tried to arrange a tour. I hadn?t heard back from my contact at the Japanese government run Earth Sciences Department, but finally in Hong Kong I got an email asking me when I could make it down. I told them that I would have maybe half an hour to visit with them while I was back in japan and that it would be cutting it very close.

My lunch boxes consited of osaka style sushi which is sushi that is formed into rectangles. When i arrived in Tokyo i jumped on the orange train and rode it to the Ebisu station. It was pretty painless and i had no trouble finding the station thanks to the english/japanese digital displays on the top of each door. Once i arrived at Ebisu i called my contact Irma. She said to look for a short hispanic girl dressed in brown. i told her to look for the biggest gaijin she could find and that would be me. I saw her walking between the moving sidewalks and i bowed and handed her a gift of mochi and bean candies.

Hello folks,
I'm here in Osaka... i spent most of today wandering around alleys of the city... everytime i look up i am reminded of Lain. Today as well as the next two days are the biggest holiday of the year so just about everything is closed... everything except food stands and arcades... and this internet cafe that i'm in now... go figure.
i played some pachinko. i also played a really cool first person shooter called World Battle. This is very cool and i was doing pretty good... i even attracted a bit of a crowd. Although i did end up spending about 1000 Yen on it... which is about 10 bucks.
Last night (New Years Eve) I went to a party in Osaka at club evo. It was pretty fun. When i first arrived i heard drum'n'bass playing so i happily paid my 30,000 ¥ ($28) and went down stairs. Unfortunatly the dnb was only playing in the front room and nobody was dancing. oh well i still had fun and met a bunch of cool japanese people. i also danced my ass off... more than i had danced in about a year... and it was to techno hahah.
My hotel is very nice and pretty much western... although it has a bidet and a really deep shower... but at least i have my own bathroom.
today for lunch i had my favorite... Tako Yaki .... mmmm good stuff! it's a little chunk of octopus inside a tasty dumpling cover with sweet sauce, mayo (eww i could have done without the mayo) and bonito (dried fish flakes) it appears to be alive because the bonito writhes in the heat.
i was really hoping to find a wireless network that was open so i could surf for free... but all the wireless networks i found that were open, assigned me an ip and then had no route to the internet.
I have uploaded all the pictures i've taken so far and they can be found here:

So after working 19 days straight and having a really lame weekend I finally got my R&R on!
It all started Friday night. I was hanging out at ezw's apartment and Jason Game rolled through talking about a party up in the hollywood hills. When I heard that I was like... forget free thinking... I'm going up to the hills. So we jumped in my car around 11 and drove up into the hills.
After about 2 miles driving up that one curvy ass road we came to the house. It had the most amazing view I have ever seen at a house. It was even better than the high-tech mansion was! The whole front of the house was glass from floor to ceiling.
The night was so clear you could see all the way to signal hill in long beach. There was all the beer you could drink and a fill wet bar (ok pretty full). and some nice melodic dnb was playing... the only problem is that we were the only ones there at 11pm.
After a little while a few more carloads of guys showed up until there were 2 girls (on had left) and about 20 guys.
At this point I told jason i thought i was gonna take off... unless 5 carloads of girls showed up. As I sat there I kid you not, girls kept coming down the stairs until the ratio was even at about 12:30...
The ratio got even better as guys started leaving after about 2am... but there was still booze flowing and i was in my element... i walked around and met every single woman that was at the party...
i recognized them but didn't know where from... then i heard sombody mention it was like club bang in here and it all clicked....

I instantly fell in love as I am an avid junk collector. The black hole is an old supermarket, it's parking lot and the church next door along with it's parking lot (plus a house or tow a few miles away... which we once found a nice little disk (about 1 or 2 grams of weapons grade uranium! ) all filled up with piles of Lab suprlus.
See every first friday (or some day it's been a while) the Lab does somthing it calls salvage. Salvage is a silent auction where everybody gets a chance to inspect pallets of wonderful junk the lab no longer feels it needs. You can get anything from a pile of bolts to boxes of laser tubes. All for pennies on the thousands if not millions.

NetBIOS Auditing Tool Release
As of February 16th Secure Networks Inc. has released a free (GPL`d)
NetBIOS auditing tool for use both on WindowsNT and UNIX platforms.
The tool itself is designed to test NetBIOS file-sharing configurations as
well as Password integrity of remote stations.
The toolset is available via the following channels:
ftp://ftp.secnet.com/pub/tools/nat10/nat10bin.zip (For NT and Win 95 binaries)
ftp://ftp.secnet.com/pub/tools/nat10/nat10.tgz (For full source)
http://www.secnet.com/ntinfo/ntaudit.html A technical description of how the NetBIOS auditing tool works follows.
The NetBIOS Auditing Tool (NAT) is designed to explore the NETBIOS file-sharing
services offered by the target system. It implements a stepwise approach to
gather information and attempt to obtain file system-level access as though
it were a legitimate local client.
The major steps are as follows:
A UDP status query is sent to the target, which usually elicits a reply
containing the Netbios "computer name". This is needed to establish a session.
The reply also can contain other information such as the workgroup and account
names of the machine`s users. This part of the program needs root privilege to
listen for replies on UDP port 137, since the reply is usually sent back to UDP
port 137 even if the original query came from some different port.
TCP connections are made to the target`s Netbios port [139], and session
requests using the derived computer name are sent across. Various guesses at
the computer name are also used, in case the status query failed or returned
incomplete information. If all such attempts to establish a session fail,
the host is assumed invulnerable to NETBIOS attacks even if TCP port 139 was
reachable.
Provided a connection is established Netbios "protocol levels" are now
negotiated across the new connection. This establishes various modes and
capabilities the client and server can use with each other, such as password
encryption and if the server uses user-level or share-level Security. The
usable protocol level is deliberately limited to LANMAN version 2 in this
case, since that protocol is somewhat simpler and uses a smaller password
keyspace than NT.
If the server requires further session setup to establish credentials, various
defaults are attempted. Completely blank usernames and passwords are often
allowed to set up "guest" connections to a server; if this fails then guesses
are tried using fairly standard account names such as ADMINISTRATOR, and some
of the names returned from the status query. Extensive username/password
checking is NOT done at this point, since the aim is just to get the session
established, but it should be noted that if this phase is reached at all MANY
more guesses can be attempted and likely without the owner of the target
being immediately aware of it.
Once the session is fully set up, transactions are performed to collect more
information about the server including any file system "shares" it offers.
Attempts are then made to connect to all listed file system shares and some
potentially unlisted ones. If the server requires passwords for the shares,
defaults are attempted as described above for session setup. Any successful
connections are then explored for writeability and some well-known file-naming
problems [the ".." class of bugs].
If a NETBIOS session can be established at all via TCP port 139, the target is
declared "vulnerable" with the remaining question being to what extent.
Information is collected under the appropriate vulnerability at most of
these steps, since any point along the way be blocked by the Security
configurations of the target. Most Microsoft-OS based servers and Unix SAMBA
will yield computer names and share lists, but not allow actual file-sharing
connections without a valid username and/or password. A remote connection to
a share is therefore a possibly serious Security problem, and a connection
that allows WRITING to the share almost certainly so. Printer and other
"device" services offered by the server are currently ignored.

Ok so i hacked up nat so that it would compile on jaguar (os x 10.2) and i have it available for download here
i want to add it to the fink tree but i'm not sure where to start... the online docs didn't help me during the 10 mintues i looked at them... for now you can grab it off my site here. but
somday i'll figure out the right way to put it in fink...

i am ready to release the next version of slacker. it's been a bit since the last release, but this one is really an improvment. it now fully works with no tweaking. i have also written shell scripts that deliver what the project had originally intended. full automation of adding users to apache, system, ftpchroot, dns, mail, and it even copies over the slacker skeletons...

"A one night parade of sweat and adrenaline pitting viewer against viewer in brutal virtual cockfighting theatre. Audience volunteers will don custom-made wireless game controllers with full sized wings and feathered helmets. Combatants will step into an arena to control their life size game avatars through vigorous flapping and pecking, competing for blood and birdfeed while rapaciously inflicting onscreen bodily harm. Cockfight Arena is free and open to the public. Gambling and smoking will be permitted. No animals or humans were injured in the production of this event."
I am so there!

after setting up my secure snmp network i needed something to parse the data with. MRTG is too basic so i opted for rrg. I used the software package called cacti. It's very nice.

i've been working on setting up a system of bridging ip-less packt filters with ipfilter (for logging, filtering, accounting, proxying, NAT) and ipfw (for bandwidth limiting). I also wanted to set up a private mointoring network with a thrid NIC in each box. Even though this link was privat I still wanted to keep everything on the wire encrypted.
