Good things
Feb 2nd
This will sound weird, but good things have been happening lately. My life is on a bit of an up swing, and part of the reason is simply that I have started being online less. Well… a lot less. Dont get me wrong. I’m still a recluse and a hermit, but not as bad as…
I did it.
Dec 7th
I am so sorry, Nokia. I know I said I’d give it a year. After 15 years of loyalty, I didn’t think it would be difficult. Use Android for a year and then re evaluate then. Unfortunately, even after only a few hours, I already know the answer. It’s over. Unless by some miracle your…
Security: Authenticating Identities
Aug 17th
Well, I thought maybe its time to geek this blog up again. Its been a long time since I posted anything truly geeky. And I do mean, really geeky. Today I thought I’d discuss a security topic. Namely, issues around gaining access to a resource. We’ll discuss the 3 things required before an entity can…
Site transfered to Blogger Beta
Dec 9th
I took the plunge and upgraded this blog to the Blogger Beta platform. I don’t expect things to go too smoothly, but if you spot anything seriously screwed up that I have missed, please let me know here. Because this site is not hosted on BlogSpot, most of the beta features are pretty much worthless…
My new phone
Dec 6th
Well now, on Tuesday of this week (05/Dec/06) I did gets me my new phone. And yes, its a doozey. :-) Admittedly, the phone was officially released by the manufacturer back in December 05, and it was first seen on the market in January/February of 06. However, even though the phone is now a year…
Guild Wars: Nightfall review
Dec 2nd
So news for today is that Guild Wars: Factions has won the DEMMX Multiplayer Game of the Year award. Which is good because it was up against Second Life and D&DO. While I have never played Dungeons & Dragons Online, I am very intimately familiar with both Second Life and Guild Wars and if SL…
Immature Lies!
Dec 2nd
You Are Somewhat Mature You definitely act like an adult sometimes, but a big part of you is still a kid at heart. While your immature side is definitely fun, you’re going to have to grow up sooner or later. Are You Immature? HAHAHAHA. I’d dispute that. As I tell everyone, I’m still 17, but…
I’m a Geek, not a Nerd!
Nov 30th
You Are 32% Nerdy You’re a little nerdy, but no one would ever call you a nerd. You sometimes get into nerdy things, but only after they’ve become a part of mainstream culture. How Nerdy Are You? This goes to show, I’m a geek, not a nerd ;-) Tags: meme, blogthings, nerdy
The Beast Within
Nov 29th
I don’t know many people that don’t enjoy a nice steak or other form of bovine dish. The only vegetarians I knew were while I was working at Datacom and for the most part, because I like meat, we didn’t often eat together for lunch or at company functions. Can’t blame them. I guess anyone…
Telecom to become 3 companies
Nov 28th
Obviously Telecom isn’t happy about this, 3 companies is more expensive and cumbersome to split into than 2, but thats too bad really. While I do think that Telecom has been getting a bit of the brunt end lately, I don’t mind this decision too much. I think its definitely a good thing in the…
