I’ve been really busy as of late. That web contract I spoke of has kept me on as a web admin guy for the indefinite future and I’m looking to put together a team of php/mysql programmers to help me! Also, code for my CS classes has stepped up in complexity, so… ow. But in [...]
It’s been a wee bit (a good week and a half) since I last posted, due to a variety of factors. The most telling, of course, was that this past week was spring break and I was in the sunny Bahamas. It was a great time, lots of alcohol comsumed (I’m 21 now), tons of pretty girls… it rocked. In actuality I spent Spring break at school, programming, yea what a glamorous life. I picked up a contract for a website about three weeks ago and this past week was the culmination of that, with my site being pushed live for a Beta test last night. Once it gets a bit cleaner (currently I don’t support IE) I’ll post a link to it so I can get some good testers. So, to summarize, Snarky’s still alive (barely), Three Planets Software has its first contract under its belt, and there’s a great new social network coming!
I’m in a bad way right now. Personal issues just about every week have made this semester the semester from Hell. Well, today was the worst, I’ve almost snapped from stress, depression, lots of stuff. Not meaning for this to be emo, just want to set up what goes into these posts more. Anyways I went running tonight. Car’s messed up, needed to get out so I just lit out runnin. Ended up (so far, no where near done) at the school library, wanting to do some hacking. A lot of my hacking is done when I’m trying to clear my mind of larger issues, which is how I get issues so bottled up inside that I can snap. This is an problem, but tonight, I just need an escape. So I *just* hit publish on a semi-decent write up of fun I’ve had with printers, I want to show you some more in depth.
I’d like to start with saying I’m not doing this to be malicious… I’m just curious about these printers. Nothing I do will be aimed at hurting the printer in any way, nor the school network. I’m not doing anything here because I’m bitter or have pent up stress, I need an escape, and here’s a great way to spend 30 minutes off in a wonderful world of binary choices where everything works out right. Without further ado: a look at my schools printers.
So, if you’ve never read this blog before, quick fact: I have issues with my school’s networks. I’ve been kicked off them before for “SSH brute forcing” a server set up to BE brute forced. I’ve been denied various requests for accounts being transferred to me due to being a student and the the administration not thinking I need said account. I’ve had money paid to other people with almost my same name because the administration was too lazy to use my email address…. or something, still not sure how that happened. Moral of the story, there’s a lot of annoyances I deal with regarding this network, though its probably mainly my fault for being the way I am.
Now, for the lighter side of things, fun times that can be had with large networks of computers.
Two nights ago I posted a picture, and a challenge to guess what the heck happened. Didn’t get that many responses, though the best was: “While undercover you smoked up and your backup came to arrest you by accident…” from my loving brother. Thanks for the support. Harkins was right close with his: “I’d bet you got in an awful lot of trouble for making your car look like police car.” Whoops, I meant: “Oh, it’s the other one? Got me then. Skidded through some ice and onto someone’s lawn?”
Leave a comment with what you think happened. Best/finniest story will be featured here. And yes, that is my car.
Well, I’m awake on time (9 am), done my workout, eating breakfast as we speak and I’m sqeeky clean from my shower. This new morning routine gives me lots of time to ponder before starting my day, and I was reflecting on an interesting happening yesterday. Quickly summing it up, I was able to apply a hacking method for hardware to an AIM conversation, fun huh?
