i look through my webserver logs on a regular basis, it’s no suprise that my accomplishment post about picking defcon CL cable locks gets about 20 hits a month for search-string referrers.

today, my pager goes off and it’s an old coworker asking for assistance. the guy’s (we’ll call him joe) a supervisor in the company we both work for. i returned his call, joe said he needed to pick a defcon lock at work and he googled for it, returning my accomplishment post.

there isn’t readily available on picking this lock, my site included (lick here for specifics.) i don’t need a lawsuit. so joe asked and i gave him the trick needed to unhand his equipment. he hasn’t called back, i assume he figured the rest out himself 🙂

some indicated this story would be funnier than jeremy’s story.

if you haven’t taken 30 minutes out of your life yet to watch this, you should.

an episode of sho’s bullshit on the bible.

probably NSFW

now with wordpress 2.0!

i’ll get around to tweaking my old template to match all this hobb knobbery. weather, webcam, adsense, etc.

most impressive is the backend/admin pages. you folks with posting rights will see. oh yes, you will see.

i discovered another awesome online comic this month and added a link to my ‘entertainment’ section. it’s called ‘cyanide and happiness‘

probably nsfw.

from somafm’s news page:

SomaFM is podcasting with alt.NPR, which includes “Groove Salad’s Taste of the Week” (copy that link into your favorite podcast program), a 5 minute weekly appetizer of new, rare and favorite tracks heard on Groove Salad. Or use this direct iTunes link to automatically get it each week. 16-Jan-06

looks like somafm and downtempo are getting a little more popular each day..

i needed to do some PHP image replacement for a personal webpage i maintain at work. while researching the functions to perform the work, i found someone has already done the work for me, i replaced all the {scritpt}{/script} tags with {img}{/img} tags and that works.

some of the rss feeds have self-closing ({img/}) tags, some have the more traditional tags, ({img}{/img}). the lazy way to process was to break them into two different functions. one day i’ll figure out how to get them into one function for processing image-removal.

YAY!
