You didn’t really need it anyways right? And here I thought you needed to go through Congress to alter the Constitution. Apparently, I didn’t pay enough attention in my US Gov’t class, because apparently the President can just declare it null and void.
Just released tcpreplay 3.1. Mostly a bug fix release, but there are some minor enhancements including support for 802.11 and Radiotap DLT types. As always, check out the changelog for a specific list of changes.
Update: 3.1.1 was just released which fixes a serious compile issue for most people. *sigh*
So I bought some wine at BevMo. One of the bottles was a Yulumba Viognier from Australia. While this was neither the best or worst Viogner I’ve ever had, what made this bottle memorable was this “To Remember” pull tab on the back label. Continue reading
How many ways do I hate thee? Let me count the ways:
Not sure what’s up with python, but it’s not able to find all the libraries anymore, hence the tcpreplay website is down until I get things back together… [Update] Well DarwinPorts completely screwed things up and had two different versions of python installed with mod_python built against one version and everything else against another. Basically had to rebuild everything, but finally got it back up. Continue reading
So my wife and I found a nice home up in the Santa Cruz Mountains which we really liked. Since Murphy’s Law is in effect, the owners had to be TCHOFH (The Crazy Home Owners From Hell). Anyways, rather then trying to explain the long and drawn out process, my friend Eric summarized our ordeal in a few lines:
let put this in terms i can understand:
me: how much for this rug?
pakistani rug merchant: for you? $400. I promise there are no stains on this rug!
me: um, how about $300. Why would there be stains? It’s a new rug? Is there something wrong?
PRM: $350. THERE ARE NO STAINS! WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT STAINS???!!! no, you may not look for stains
me: $310
PRM: $450!
me: WTF?
So I’m probably way behind everyone else, but I just found The Radiant Vista a few weeks ago. This is a very cool photography website for both experts and beginners. Every day there’s a new video critique of a photograph and they go over all sorts of photography concepts like framing, lighting, subject matter and color. There is also a weekly Photoshop workshop video which explains how to get the most of your digital photographs. While the site is definitely targeted towards digital SLR photographers, most of the content is applicable to people who shoot film or point & shoots.
Ok, I’ll admit, up until now, I really didn’t buy the idea that realtors (no, I’m not going to put it in all caps, you don’t see any other profession doing that) were really worth what they’re paid. I always just sorta figured if you had half a clue in todays Internet-enabled world, you could search the listings, drive around some and make a reasonable offer on a place and work it out with the seller who should obviously be motivated to sell.

So there’s an on-going argument about Stillsecure’s use of Snort.

So my wife is always looking for new cooking related toys. I like playing with fire. Hence, when she asked me if it was ok to purchase a smoker, I was all for it. $200+ shipping later, we’re the proud owner of a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, aka the “Weber Bullet”. Continue reading
