Hmm... I've noticed this whilst checking my stats and logs the past coupla weeks. People are using interesting browsers. For instance, one person regularly checks my site using Konqueror. I salute you. If you want any fame, go ahead and leave a comment that it's you... I can compare IPs, however, so don't anyone try lieing.

I also had a Lynx hit today, though that might have been me while playing with perl and facebook, I can't remember.

I can't sleep, not sure why, so I figured I'd play with some stuff.

Anyone interested in Screen Scraping should definatly check out the WWW::Mechanize module for perl.

I'm currently trying to fix the stupid ATI crappy software! It would kill them to write drivers and TV suites that didn't require endless googling for information to get it to work.

There's a few of you (not sure how many actually read this) who have expressed interest to me in learning how to program. I haven't been very helpful, yet, due to having to run around, and do real work... *sigh* But if you're interested, and have time, let me know. I can find good tutorials, or make 'em, whichever is needed. A comment here would be fine, or yelling at me on AIM.

For those of you who don't know, I really enjoy the game Mafia. Another helpful link, before reading my post, is this forum.

Interesting feature. Due to someone's comments over Christmas Break I installed a stats feature. Just to see, you know... stats.

For those of you who have a username here, you can view them as well! It's quite interesting to look at, and easy to tell some trends.

• When the search bots come through and index the site (every page is viewed once)
• When people check their LiveJournal friends page (a whole mess of page views, and the only referrer is someone's friends page).
• And other fun stuff.

So... if you have a login, feel free to check it out. But if I find anyone exploiting it (there are some ways) I'll just lock it down for only myself again.

Oh, and the link is on the right hand side under "User Commands"->"Stats".

Well... I had a little run in with the cops last night. A friend and I had gone back to my place to dye my hair, and I realized I was locked out. So, since my roommate wouldn't be home for a good half hour, I decided to try and get in on my own. Tried the front door, my porch door, and even the kitchen window (which, apparently, my roommate locked the day before, even after saying "No one could get through there").

Well, do to the fact that it's felt like spring out here all week (highs in the 50's) and somewhat sunny, I got in a cleaning mood. So I called up a good friend, and we not only reformatted our computers, but took them completely apart and cleaned everything.

Well, I'm loving my phishing class. They encourage hands on experiments, and I've already got the opportunity to carry out something that should lead to publication! (More to come on that after I get approval, etc). However, the main reason I like the class is I get to tthink like a bad guy. Something I do a lot, just never carry out due to my preference for white hat hacking, as opposed to black hat.

Over the next few days I'm putting up the page for Three Planets Software. Already I have a *much* better looking placeholder, and design ideas. Feedback is greatly appreciated, but please keep in mind it's a work in progress, and the code behind it is really ugly right now.

That said, have a looksee, and be sure to check back every few days as I add more content.

Well, I've gotta hand it to Amazon and their help line.

Well then, now that I'm awake and (somewhat) functioning, lemme break down this semester. In this post, I gave a break down of the courses I'm taking this semester. That changed on Monday. But I digress...

This proves to be a long semester... more to come later tomorrow when I have time.
