Finally Home in Washington
What a cold and chilly Halloween night.... Well... I am back home in my living room waiting on kids so I can give out some candy. Got two bags of good candy and I only had 3 knocks on my door :(... where is everyone? Hello??
I like Halloween... I have so many great halloween memories. Well... today is an interesting halloween as well.. travelling all day... and now I am finally home. Boy tomorrow I have another day of work ... yikes!!!
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.
OMG it is Friday?
I can't believe it is Friday already... this week sure slipped by pretty quickly. Tomorrow... I will be on my adventure to IOWA. I will be doing a campus visit with my dad to Iowa State. It will be interesting. But first .... another day of work.
... additional note.... 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.
Hello Lunch?
Gosh... I am hungry today... this nice and cool thursday was fun so far... been working in the computer room with our tech in getting some racks setup and also repairing for our consultant meeting for this afternoon. Well... It is interesting. yep ... life is always interesting.
Another Case of the Mondays
Oh ... Mondays are stressful... with the weekend being over the new week starting... trying to line up everything... trying to get to all the monday morning update meetings... interesting time. On top of all that ... my homework is also due today... I've got most of it done.. just few minor points... need to touch it up. ooh... got to go for another round of morning meetings.
... 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
Super Windy Thursday Night
Goodness... I am sitting here trying to do some school work and the wind outside is just super super strong... it almost sounds like a hurrican outside. I know it is not ... but the sound makes me really want to hide in bed and go to sleep....
no... no... no... got to hit Star mode!!! GO GO GO MIN!!!
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.
Soccer Tuesday!!!
Gosh it is another Soccer Tuesday!!!... what me playing soccer? no no... I am not playing any soccer... I am just their photographer. yep... I think... I am late.... ":)
Fall is here and winter is near...
I must be like a big bear... because as the weather gets cooler, it get harder and harder to get up every morning. That really sucks!!! and I just seem so tired all the time. Yikes! I want to thank everyone for their encouragements!!! I will do better... go go go ;)
So... I can't believe it is already Thursday... gosh... where did the week go?
Stupid HW or Stupid Min?
I am so upset... I just got my grade back from my first homework in one of my classes... and it is just not looking good. I understand the stuff but why am I not doing well... well... I will work harder... my CPRE531 exam is coming up sooo... drink more Tea and Sobe and I will have some long nights and get this done!!! I can do it... right? right??
YouTube and Wireless Hacking
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.
Making Apple Cider Earlier today... in the middle of my studies ... my friend Eric Briggs invited me over to make some apple cider and also to have dinner. Thank you Eric and Rachelle :D. ... so that is how Apple Ciders are made... ;)
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...
Auburn is Stressing me Out!!! AHHHHH... Auburn football is driving me nuts... the game is so tight and so stressful... I am so stressed. BTW ... see I am so stressed that I am acting crazy.... ha ha ha
I Need Time Compression!!! I need to squeeze more time in a day... How can I do that???Can I use alchemy?Laws of equivalent trade? ... If so what do I trade for more time?
Visiting Iowa State University
So... my father recently received a Grant for his proposal and will require him to visit Iowa state to visit a similar project. Since I am currently an Iowa state student and I have not been to my school, I am planning to visit ISU with my father. This will be interesting.
Time to go home
Another full day of work... and now it is time for me to go home ;) Goal for tonight? not to get distracted and do some class work... CPRE543 ... here I come...

I am behind on my school work.. and everything else just joy and stress.... Something makes you smile some things make you frown...
