  :: A Halloween Story

Happy Halloween Everyone¡K So ¡K I am on my way back to Ephrata right now, but I thought I should tell everyone an interesting dream I had last night. So the dream started I was in a grassy hill with family¡K there might be another part of the dream before this but this is the only part I remembered. It was a bright and sunny day¡K we were all around having a picnic. The weather was super nice, you can see for miles. Everyone was looking my way¡K but all the sudden I saw an interesting cloud formation. It was a mushroom cloud just starting to form. I started to scream at everyone and started to get everyone to run¡K we could see the mushroom cloud get bigger and the mushroom floating up. We can also see the shockwave coming toward us. I am sure it is slower then it actually is. Now for some reason all the sudden we are in some neighborhood and we are all trying to find cover. We eventually went inside a house, turn on a tv and trying to get some information on what have just happened.

I think I was making up logic for what I just saw¡K but I don¡¦t remember the results. Anyway¡K I remember missing someone or something, this is where it gets interesting, I was really sad that whatever I was missing was not there¡K so then I remember just to wish it and it will be there¡K so *bling* and there it was¡K I think a part of me realized that this is my dream and to make things go smoothly ¡K I can change my events in my dreams¡K

I hope this isn¡¦t just blabbering ¡K

I hope this is a good Halloween story ¡K take care and I will be home soon.

  :: Iowa State University

The oldest water tower west of Mississippi!

ISU campus...

Wow... what a day... I spend an entire day on ISU campus. I even went to my Monday class today. I met some of my professors, visited alot of the on campus Information Assurance labs and projects... I talked to some of the other grad students... wow... it really makes me want to go back to school.... full time. But then again...

It is amazing how much similar ISU is to Auburn ... both are land grant universities. They are both very Awesome in Engineering... both have lots of red brick building... and they both are in a small town. Now what is different is that Auburn Football is doing a lot better than ISU.

Major incident just happened at Hydro... I will have to be heading down to hydro to respond now. We need to be proactive not constantly be reactive.

  :: ... Cafe Mocha ... Hot Hot!!!
"... Ah ah ah... in this atmosphere..."

Oh I am so glad it is Friday... I finished another one of my exams... just few more weeks of school left and it will be over...

As I been talking about alot lately.. work has been pretty stressful.. but I am doing ok... I am trying to finish this major radio redundancy and upgrade project before the end of the year. It is my goal. I ask my boss that if I can get that done, if he can give me a few extra PLPs. So I am trying my best to balance everything and get this all done. Next weekend I will be going east to Iowa to do a campus visit. That should be interesting.

so immediately... probably just relax tonight... maybe some SC if I can find someone to play with. And tomorrow... I need to work on the soccer pictures and also work my remining homework for 531. Oh almost forgot ... got to do my test and document the results for my 543 project.

So many things to do in so little time :D so little time :D

  :: Another Frustrating Wednesday
NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!!
For some reason for the last couple of weeks maybe even last couple of month... I feel like I don't have enough time... It just seems like everyday is booked up tight. I am just reviewing my project for work and it seems like I am already looking at november and I still can't get all that stuff done. Just too much stuff to do and too little time. I am even going to miss one of my friends party in Seattle this weekend because of my busy schedule... oh well... life goes on...

The good thing is that we are moving forward right? moving forward is good.

  :: Cracking WEP key under 20 minutes
Today... I cracked one of my test APs with a 64 bit WEP key in under 20 minutes.
yep... it is scary... but it is really possible. I can't believe it... but yep... it is that simple... the next test is to try it on a 128 bit wep key... and then on to the WPA. My previous attempt of hacking the web key was unsuccesful... even after 1 1/2 days of packet capture I was unable to crack the 64 bit key... but today... 20 minutes and boom... it is cracked.

Yes.. the two have absolutely no connection... unless you are trying to use a hacked wireless to watch YouTube... but anyway... today I heard that YouTube got bought by Google. So does that means that YouTube and Google Video are merging?

Also.. I been working alot on my Wireless Class Project... Trying to hack WEP and WPA and understanding the process ... work on it most of the night last night no success yet.... but I will let you know when I succeed.

  :: A Shattered Dream
It happens every fall season... College Football... With under 5 minutes left in the game... it is pretty much over for Auburn. Sigh.... I was really hoping Auburn can reach 6-0 by end of the day today... but the guys just had a really really rough game today... Well... it happens. now... with this major upset... what will happen to Auburn? We were number 2... now we might not even get to go to SEC championship game... because if Arkansas continue to win their SEC games they will be going to the SEC championship game... Sigh... this really makes things hard...

It is funny... I don't even play football... and now I am in the West I don't really have anyone to share this love of Auburn football with... but yet it is still upsets me when I see my school lose a football game. That ok... we will grow from this experience and move forward. WAR EAGLE and it is still GREAT to BE an Auburn Tiger!!! Hey... for all you Auburn Football players out there who are reading my blog... don't feel bad... we will get them next time... shake it off and move on. :D

Under 3 minutes left... maybe we still can do something. we only need 3 scores...

... back to studying..... back to studying...
