Well, I got all my stuff done today. It has been a busy day. My little sister is back in Houston now. Oh and I sold my other Sharper Image certificate as well. Yep, got some money now for spring break. So I cooked some Chinese Texas fajitas today, yep I cooked. My sis made some Spanish rice and we had a pretty good meal. So why is it called a Chinese fajitas? Well, it has all the stuff of a fajitas, except I marinade the chicken with soy sauce, sugar, and rice wine. I thought it was pretty good. Anyway... it was pretty filling. so... 4 more days.... EEEK! |

It was another Friday of wireless sniffing. I got a chance to spend the afternoon with a Ernest Young security audit guy. He showed us some new stuff and we show him some new tricks as well. It was pretty fun. One thing though, he was not as amazing as I imagined... so it kind of put everything in perspective. Time to go home! |

It has been an awful, awful lunch.... Well, as usual, today I decided to go home for lunch... so when I left for home, I had my work id and off I go. The weather was pretty wet but I figure, that's ok I will be home shortly. When I finally got home I realized that I am missing two very important things. First, I did not have my keys. Second, I don't have my work ID. So somewhere along the way, I have lost one or both of these items. Of course immediately, I started to back track. I was half way to the trolley stop, when the down pour starts. I started to run and caught the next available trolley. I looked on the trolley and did not find my ID. When I got back to the office, A there was my keys. GoodˇK that's one down. So I decided I would catch the next trolley and start looking for my badge. Ok to make the story shortˇK after 5 trolleys later and a wet Min. I decided to give up looking. When I returned to my office, Greg said, "You know, you probably should go and deactivate your old badge and see if you can get a new one.? So I did I followed his advice and went to get my old badge deactivated. To my surprise, the badge lady deactivated my badge, reprinted a new badge for me, and gave me a new badge pulley all within 5 minutes. Wow, that was fast. I guess, I should have done that from the start, instead of getting all wet in the rain. Oh well... |

Well... today started pretty crappy... I mean I thought Knoppix was going to save my day... but this morning when I got in to the office... the wireless portion just doesn't work right? "... I swear it works last night...." So... I think I will wait for the 3.2 version to come out this week and try it then. In the mean time, I will try to figure out why it is not working and see if I can make a custom version. 7 days left |

I know... I am going on about Knoppix... but it is really really cool... I am using it right now... all the wireless cards are automatically detected. The only problem I have right now is still getting the network scanning stuff working. Cool stuff. Let me know what you guys think... post it on the comment below. |

OK ... I think I have found my answer!!!! KNOPPIX is the key.... my gosh... if you never used Linux before ... here is your chance... you don't have to sign any commitment, if you don't like it .. hey pop out your cd and reboot your pc and it is back to normal Windows. KNOPPIX is a fully loaded Linux system with an Office Suite, tools, and tons of other stuff all built in. Go download the ISO TODAY!!!!!! another link to knoppix... this one is better.... more english.... cleaner |

You know what? I don't know what is the deal... I mean ... because of the audit... all the sudden everyone is supper interested in the wireless scanning stuff. And all the sudden everyone wants a linux box to use Kismet. I guess it is a good thing that everyone is moving to the penguin side... but I wonder if everyone knows what they are getting into? |

I personally think it is too early for a PS3 release. 2) A neat little modern operating system for C64, NES, 8-bit Atari, and other old school machines... it is called Contiki. 3) Microsoft Internship... I remember that one time I interviewed with MS in their Charlotte campus... it was pretty neat... but they are still very cocky little bastards. and some other interesting articles... pretty good article day for slashdot. |

People are just awful drivers. I am glad that I do not have to drive to work everyday or else I really think some one can go crazy with the way some people drive these days. For example, today I was in Chinatown trying to find a parking space, this full size truck pulls up in front of me and the guy rolled down his window and started talking to me. He was blocking everyone's movement in the parking lot. Finally, after repeated times trying to tell him to move on, I finally lowered my window and said, "What do you want? you are blocking traffic!!" And he replied, "Hey, look I do some car body work and I can fix your car body really cheap." He was referring to the dent I have on my camry, but I just don't think in the middle of the parking lot blocking everyone around him is the time to pick up some business. Well... anyway..... I have sent Min-Jye off to the Airport so ... I am back home again... I think I will take a nap. |

Woo Hoo... I just sold 5 games for 65 bucks. Yes, Yes, it doesn't sound like a very good deal, but I don't think I would have gotten that much from ebay. M earlier bidder was only going to pay 50 bucks for the games... so it is not bad. I was going to sell them for 70 dollars, but since she was asking so nicely. I knocked down 5 bucks. I guess I am not a very good business man. Oh well... anyway... I got me some extra cash. |
