Law & Order SVU Takes On Gamers and Harassment: The Supercut
This is either:
a) hilarious satire
b) elaborate troll
c) the epitome of derp
Link excerpt:
"Women in gaming… what did I expect?" I started this cut before watching it, thinking it'd be funny. While it's funny, it's also disturbing how the writers…

It's the party of the year – it's prom! That's one night when you can't reach for that everyday school makeup. No tan eyeshadows, ladies. You've got to go bit more glamorous, even bolder in your makeup selection.
For makeup artists like me who love painting colors on those eyelids, cheeks and lips, it's show time! The first thing I ask clients preparing for prom is, "What color are your dress and shoes?" That one clue can help you determine what colors will complete the look. This year, the very trendy, strapless party dress in midnight black is THE style. If you've got a hot, black number to wear, try these makeup looks from one of my favorite beauty icons. You'll rock that black prom dress.
The Nicole Richie Look
She's been off the radar for a while but she's still a style icon that I love to copy. Nicole's signature look, the cat eye with silver shadow and nude lips works perfectly with a swanky updo. Try these steps for perfect black prom dress makeup.
- Start with face primer. You don't want your makeup to run if you tear up during your prom queen acceptance speech.
- Cover your entire eyelid with skin-toned eyeshadow. This creates a noticeable contrast for the black and silver eyeshadow.
- Dot the crease of the eye with smoky black eyeshadow. Use a light touch and an angled eyeshadow brush.
- Apply shimmery, silver eyeshadow to the lower lid.
- Blend the colors together with a soft eyeshadow brush.
- Line the top of the lashes with a liquid eyeliner marker. Extend the line outside your eyelids slightly for a pretty cat eye.
- Curl your lashes then apply several coats of mascara.
- Blush your cheeks with a soft pink or bronze cheek color.
- Apply nude lipstick and top with clear gloss. Done!
You'll look like a celebrity as you dance the night away in your little black dress!

So my friend dated this guy for a few months, he was her first 'major love' and he played her hard! He broke up with her using some stupid excuse, and now is dating another girl and making sure to kick up the 'intensity' around her, and its killing her! I told her that I would get him back (revenge is kind of my thing), but I dont know what to do to get him back...
Most Helpful Guy
Your revenge is already extracted.
This man will wake up one day to realize he is the loneliest man in the world. Any tenderness in his heart was utterly wasted by his debauchery, going from girl to girl, squandering what little innocence, or joy, he had left.
To face what he has done will require too many tears to count, and a heart wrenched cruelly in two when the weight of his misogyny hits him. Then and only then, will he have *any* hope of regaining his innocence, and truly, truly loving, and caring for a good woman.
Outside of that, he has no hope of recovering his humanity, as it relates to women- who often complete a man while he lives.
He is a sad man, to be pitied by all.
On a side note, there really isn't anything you can do to him. He is already too low to be hurt- you, and women, do not matter to him. Anything you did to him would be perceived as excuse and reason to treat women the way he does, and he would not learn a thing.00|00|0THIS IS NOT RELEVANT ANYMORE

There comes a point in everyone's life, whether you like it or not, where you say to yourself, that you are better. You deserve it. I've 'done my time', now it's ME time!
I kind of like causing problems, but not in the way that deliberately hurts anyone. I like to get people to think about their own lives, to understand MY life, and to question some of the crap they believe in. I'm not asking that you agree with me, but I want you to think. Use that grey matter under your scalp!
I remember as a younger person, thinking that 'old' people were stupid. They didn't know anything. They grew up in an age where things were different, easier, not as complicated. Now, as I reach this 'old' life, I realize that yeah, I grew up in an age that was different, easier, and not as complicated. I'm now an adult. Have been for most of my life now. But now, I'm an older adult… a more mature adult… one who has 'seen the world', so-to-speak.
Although, I still get a chance to go back to my 'younger year' thinking. For instance, when I'm driving. I'll see some old fart who could probably walk faster than s/he's driving. I watch this person drive aimlessly along the busy roadway, as if no one else was around. They go through red lights like they weren't there. They can barely see over their steering wheel, or better yet, looking THROUGH the thing! They're looking for an address on both sides of the road, weaving from one lane to another without a care in the world.
I go into a shop here in Taiwan. Now, I know, and before all my Taiwan friends go ballistic on me, I know I don't speak Chinese. I know not everyone speaks English. But it has been my experience that there is SOMEONE who can speak my language. As well, I can speak a little Chinese, so between the two of us, we should be able to communicate. What kills me the most, is when this 'English' employee comes out, eager to use his/her English, and then has no idea what I'm saying. I use hand signals, my translator app, draw pictures, show examples of other products… and still, they have no idea what I'm talking about.
Periodically, I will go to a tea shop. I ask, in Chinese, for a cup of oolong tea, little ice, half sweet, no bag. Now, if it's a guy, generally, he'll understand. Maybe once or twice, I'll get green tea, but, hey, at least he got most of it right. If it's a girl, for some reason, they just don't understand. They have no idea what I'm asking for (considering ALL they sell is tea!), they don't know how much ice or sweet I want, and I just give up, and go to the shop next door.
Once in a while, I'll be fortunate enough to have a 'real, live translator' (aka person who speaks both languages) with me. Depending on the person, this can either be a blessing, or a disease. One of my friends that I've depended on translation for many years, has no understanding of computers, whatsoever. A computer to him is as confusing as it is to someone twice MY age! He knows nothing.
I have tried over the years, to get a computer that can do what I need it to do. In a nutshell, this is what I use it for: internet access, word processing, spreadsheet, and playing the odd downloaded movie or TV show. How difficult can that be? I also need storage space, because I keep all my lesson plans, photographs, flashcards (pictures of things), and I want to have enough memory so I can run one or two printers simultaneously, and still not compromise download speed.
Less than two years ago, I bought a 'brand new' laptop computer. It was being sold as a 'desktop' replacement. My previous dinosaur had 16GB hard drive, flat screen monitor, 2MB RAM… I know, to some of you, this is like a foreign language. Anyway, this one was supposed to be the epitome of all laptops. Yes, it is a little larger, not as convenient to carry around, but it was supposed to be the best of the best!
80GB hard drive, 16MB RAM, wireless accessibility, 8 USB ports… What gets me riled up was before the first year was up, the screen was starting to literally, fall out! My friend found the company's office here in Tainan, took it in, and about 5 days later, got the computer back, with the monitor safely repaired, and instead of 4 screws holding it in place, there are now 8! Cool.
I love the idea of having a mousepad, instead of an actual mouse. But, the more I play on Facebook, and in particular, the games (okay, so I do like games), I've noticed that the mousepad is becoming less responsive, and is now shiny from overuse. So, I've opted to get a USB mouse. I do have a mouse, but apparently, the connection on my computer is not compatible with the mouse's connector. I kept saying that, but for some reason, no one believes me until they see it.
I want to hook it up to my new 42″ flatscreen TV. Again, I'm told that my computer has HDMI connection. I keep saying no. They shake their heads thinking that I don't know what they're talking about. I keep saying NO! It has a completely different type of connector for an external monitor/TV. I tried to look at all the laptops in the store, and you think I could find one with MY type of connection? Of course not.
I go with my friend Cliff and purchase a USB mouse. Now, it is supposed to be 'plug and play'. Once the mouse is connected, the computer searches, understands, and voila, external mouse. But no. It won't work. Must be my computer. After much searching and frustration on my part, as well as Cliff (sorry), I find out that my computer is at least 4 years old! When it comes to the life of computers in Taiwan, 1 computer year is like 25 human years! Seriously! And not just with computers, but ANYTHING related to computers – mouse, monitors, connectors, printers, modems… So, I have a computer that is twice my age. 7 times older than any of my cats lives! In fact, it's older than the 1/2 lifespan of a fruit fly!
I decide to try this mouse on the other computer here at home. It is a desktop model. Now, I know that this particular computer is old. Again, if you go by 1:25, then that computer is about how 'olde' I want to live to be! It's reaching the ripe old age of about 200! The monitor itself is about 75 years old. So, of course, a piece of equipment that is, as my father would say, 'older than dirt', won't understand these younger kids (aka USB mouse). The computer gives the same response as my laptop. I don't understand the device. It is not compatible!
So, I was basically told that Macs are better than PCs. Whatever. The mouse was taken to two other computers (age unknown) to see if they would work – one being a laptop, the other a PC. Apparently, it won't work in either. So, what does that tell me?
Well, since I'm already going to be chastised about this blog entry, what can I say. The mouse is, as I suspected, a dud. It doesn't work. It probably will never work. And if it does, then it's definitely not a 'plug and play' unit for just ANY computer. It probably needs its own kind! What kind? I don't know, and I don't care.
I just want a mouse.

Here We GOO ..Ale Ale Alee..Yayyyy!! FIFA world cup started Yday..The Opening Match , Germany Vs Costa Rica saw a shower of goals! The Germans won 4-2 with Budday boy Klose netting 2 of those 4! Apparently its one of the Highest scoring "opening" matches in modern soccer history 🙂
Here's the link for the Schedule – World Cup Schedule for INDIA. I do wish the matches started earlier..My sleep is ahem, precious to mee and its so difficult to keep those eyes open after 10:30! 😦 Sighh
AnyHoww, I am going to be rooting for France this time round. I've always had this "soft corner" for everything french..(including French Fries ..aarghh.. Ok ok I know that was a bad PJ 😀)..I fantasize about Paris(the City!), I love The french Language and Its got Thierry Henry (I am a Gunner fan! :D)
Although (As Sindhu said) it would have been easier to sing that Vengaboyz numbeer for Brazil..(Braaazilllll..laa la la lalalala laaaaaaaa..hehe) ..Sighh..Just need to find another song for them..
Herez some not-so-useful trivia on the World Cup (Yeah, I've sorta decided to become "informative" once in a while! 😀 )
- German radio station SWR1 has produced this gem.Germany won the World Cup in 54 and 74. Multiply these two numbers together and you come up with 3996. The last World Cup that Germany won was 1990. Subtract 1990 from 3996 and you get 2006. So purely mathematically Germany will win this year………….
- Booted Out of Play
India refused to play in the 1950 World Cup because FIFA told the players they would have to play in soccer boots (cleats), rather than barefoot. (* I was surprised they qualified for the 1950 World Cup!! *)
- Arsenal and Chelsea with 16 players each, top the clubs sending players from their squad to Germany ( * Go ARSENALLL* )
- The only person to have played both World Cup Football and Wolrd Cup cricket is Viv Richards – Antigua at football and West Indies at cricket (* Wow!! *)
- Shirt swapping was once officially prohibited in 1986 because FIFA did not want players to 'bare their chests' on the field.(* Thank God Its not anymore, what will happen to all the GIRLS watching the sport ;)*)
- World Cup Winners (by country)
- Brazil 5
- Italy 3
- Germany (West) 3
- Uruguay 2
- Argentina 2
- England 1
- France 1
Here's the official Link for the FIFA WOrld Cup

About Me
Hi' :) I'm 25 years old and I live in Copenhagen. I like to meet new people and i get very inspired, when exchanging values, memories and life experience, but also just to have fun, life don't always have to be so damn serious. I love to live in Copenhagen and I really enjoy all the different cultural events, the city has to offer. I love music and not just one genre of music, but pretty much all of it, but i try to avoid music I judge to have only been made for commercial benefits. But I can be profound thrilled, to be at a concert with a underground band whose music kicks ass. I also like electronic music and i enjoy going to raveparties, where i have many joyful memories being not sober at all, having the party of my life switching between dancing and being social. I have some very strong values and I define myself as being a anarcho-communist and I'm dreaming of the society described by Kropotkin and Bakunin, but I'm also very inspired of newer ideologists such as Noam Chomsky and Michael Albert. I hope you want to hang out during your stay, then I will show you my favourite place in Copenhagen, it's a small anarchist parallel community called Christiania and the atmosphere there, is like a non-stop never ending festival. Hope to see you in the future :D
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love meeting new people and in the time i lived in Copenhagen i stumbled upon a lot of backpackers, who are turning every penny to experience as much of the world as possible. And then i thought to myself, that it could be fun to lend my couch out to a fellow human being, and to learn from whatever you bring in your backpack
I do a lot of writing both poems and short stories, and i dream of one day to publish a novel, although I often lose the thread, when writing longer stories. I also as mentioned earlier like music and concerts. I'm also very serious about my political opinions and i go to a lot of demonstrations, but don't worry I'm capable of accepting people whom have other opinions than me, and it's nice when someone can give you a new perspective to watch the world in. Besides that, I like hanging out with my friends and to party with them in the weekend.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite book genre is, i don't know what's it called in english, but directly translated to english. it's called magical realism and can be described as a story in a realistic world, with unrealistic/magical features. The best book i've read in that genre is The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Unfortunately my favourite author Hunter S. Thompson is not writing in that genre, but i like his fierce way of describing our society. As said earlier I love music, and to go to a lot of different concerts, but when i'm just relaxing at home i mostly listen to psychedelic rock, reggae and danish hiphop. I especially like danish hiphop, which differs from american hiphop, in the way that most danish hiphop don't have that gangster with a lot of money attitude, but is more philosophical and brings up everyday dillemas that are easy to relate to, and I think that danish is a nice language to write lyrics in. I don't have a single best movie ever seen, but I enjoy a good movie as long as the plot isn't too thin
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Had the courage to move to Copenhagen from Viborg, to start over. It was very difficult in the beginning, not knowing anyone but my ex-girlfriend whom i moved to Copenhagen with, while she was still my girlfriend. But I haven't regret it one bit. Viborg compared to Copenhagen, is too quiet for me and living in Viborg is like waiting for something new to happen but it never happens. Although I don't miss Viborg, I miss my friends there and i keep in touch with them over skype, and travel there every second month
Teach, Learn, Share
I will try my best explaining the danish culture, and answer your questions about the place you have come to. Besides that i know a lot about spirituality and have a lot of knowledge about shamanic practices. I'm also capable of basic hypnotising and guided meditation, but only if it has any interest. I'm also very interested to learn about you, your culture, your perspective on the world and how you would change it if you could.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm not that good at being a kitchen chef, but I can cook a descent meal. Besides that I have lots of stories to tell you, and i'm eager to hear yours
Countries I've Visited
Austria, Dominican Republic, Egypt, England, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Uganda, United States

Notes from CTO breakfast
So I thought I had better throw my notes up here or else I will forget them.
So what topics got thrown on the table:
Google Desktop Search. Everything from the interesting traffic sent back to the mothership to how badly the processor is consumed from the launch of the program until the entire hard drive has been indexed. On my own machine this took a little over 3 hours to index. Someone mentioned Nat Friedman you may know him from his Ximian days (one of my all time favorites) but we went into his project Dashboard . This app is more useful in my eyes than what google is rolling out - the main thing to note here - people seem to want their google everywhere as we all aren't as organized as we thought.
QEMU was the next topic - I think the leap to virtualization came from the leader Phil - he always seems to understand when it's a great time to change the direction. Virtualization has become a hot topic followed closely or even tied into the ability to make virtualization invisible to the end user. There are the common products VMware (which I use), VirtualPC (former SCO employee swears by it) and then the open source revolution. Development has begun to cross platforms - if I have the app on OSX then I expect it to be over on my WindowsXP box - and it sure would be nice if I could run the same app on the linux box as well. The general consensus was that we may see a change in the way we see OS's that takes the desktop and makes it ambiguous across every platform. this brings the focus back to the applications and not what lies underneath. You can see this change in Apple - the move from OS9 to OSX fundamentally changed the OS and improved the functionality.
Security always get mentioned in one way or another - since I am really interested in it I usually bring it up but not this time. We talked about LogWatch, and some possible extensions to the security model it provides - RSS (XML not the person) got involved and some ideas were scribbled down - got to be careful sometimes we are always looking for that next big project so people have to stake their boundaries.
Downloads - how about a Friendster/Digital Fingerprint download suggestion web site. You could know that a download was clean, and who recommended it among your friends - you can then quickly determine whether you should ever trust your friends again and whether they actually have any idea of what good software is.
There were many little side discussions, more notes but these were the main hot topics. Always looking for new topics to introduce so feel free to drop me a comment.
Tuesday, October 19, 2004
So recently I have been thinking about "What I want to be when I grow up?" Most people would assume that I am grown up - they would be wrong - my son and I get along perfectly because I stopped growing up somewhere around 18ish and well the average 18 year old is about the same maturity level as my 3 year old.
So my sudden questioning of possible career change started a few weeks ago when my wife suggested I started reading Zen and the Art of Making a Living. There are quotes from Joseph Campbell, Vincent van Gogh, James Joyce, D.T Suzuki, Anais Nin, William Blake and tons more. It is an amazing book . I am going to start trying to add a weekly comment about the book, and a quote that struck a cord with me.
On a side note: I get to go see Michael Moore tomorrow at UVSC - VIP section no less - have to dress like a young republican and I am going with at least two republicans but I respect their opinions so this should be interesting. I will try and snag some pixs and drop a comment afterwards.

Where in the world?
So I am sitting in
Again with the politics - last night I got to sit down with a very dear friend of mine who happens to be working for Homeland Security. Eventually conversation came around to, "What would Ward do if he anyone listened?"
I started off with CALEA. In October 1994, Congress took action to protect public safety and national security by enacting the Communications Assistance for law enforcement Act of 1994 (CALEA), Pub. L. No. 103-414, 108 Stat. 4279. The law further defines the existing statutory obligation of telecommunications carriers to assist law enforcement in executing electronic surveillance pursuant to court order or other lawful authorization and requires carriers to design or modify their systems to ensure that lawfully-authorized electronic surveillance can be performed.
A bunch of legal mumble jumble that basically says that we as telecommunications providers better have a method to allow law enforcement the ability to serve a warrant and tap phone/date communications. My problem is with the unfortunate guys that are sent by the various law enforcement agencies to certify and/or utilize the network. In this day and time, our continued worry of terrorism, whether it be cyber or real you need to have guys that can understand what they are looking at - the government has done nothing to provide the money necessary to prepare these guys - not to mention getting one of the agencies to send someone out to the site for review can be one long painful experience.
I don't have a problem with spending the time to help these guys but I am not law enforcement and at the end of the day I am not the one who has to know the laws and how to catch whoever they are after. Additionally if you are conducting illegal business in the electronic age utilizing the communication options available to you I would expect that you are going to be bright enough to know about things like PGP, Skype, or IPSec - and if you aren't you paid somebody to come work for you that showed you what technology was out there and how things worked - I am betting money that the law enforcement officer standing next to me is not going to be that informed. Spend the money to either hire guys like me that are willing to help out or train the guys you have working for you.
I won't carry on about the VoIP discussion that we had - I pointed to the benefits of VoIP but also the many ways that the services could be abused.
I told a little story about a little run in with TSA a few weeks ago. Coming through an airport I frequently travel through my carry-on was pulled and opened. Not an uncommon thing, upon opening my bag they discovered a pair of nail scissors, an item that had been in bag for the last three months of flying - I was informed they would have to confiscate them or I could return to the outside and hand them off to someone - nail scissors folks. At this point I was a bit frustrated with the very large guy they had now sent over to talk to me - asking him why they were dangerous he informed me that they could be held in your hand used to punch holes in someone's chest - this I agreed with - as for the threat - highly unlikely - I laughed and asked the employee if I could use his ballpoint pen. This I told him was much more dangerous than the scissors, I could perform a much more violent attack and the actual chance of killing someone with that pen were more likely - I then smiled and told him he could throw the scissors away. I fortunately wasn't grabbed and hauled away - but this does indicate to me a couple of problems.
The government has attempted to provide a false sense of security by increasing the security at airports and secondly the idea that me and my scissors would be dangerous are more likely the inability for an organization to actually understand the true threats that face this nation.
We need to stop being lemmings and following along. There is the possibility of future threats - Why? - Cowboys running things have pissed off enough people in this world that they are going to try and take a chip of the bully's shoulder. This is no longer a matter of whether we did right or wrong - that can of worms is open but now how are we going to clean up the mess. This should be the main focus of the current election.
The outcome of the conversation - I got to throw some of my issues on the table and he heard them - he asked for several of my business cards so he could throw them around the office - maybe I get the chance to talk to someone else that wants to hear what I think.
As I walked out the door he reminded me that my vote for Bush would help keep him in a job and feeding his family - I laughed - we both know my vote wasn't headed that way - then I reminded him that I knew my vote had already been cancelled out by another friend back in Utah. Great night with a really dear friend who tolerates my outspoken political ramblings.
Wednesday, September 29, 2004
We have been testing things - the speeds are amazing, I regularly disconnect from my enterprise network and utilize the raw FTTH speed for updating systems, and downloading content (television shows I missed during the week) Bittorrent is the video Napster of the moment. Sure beats my Tivo which is currently residing in
So what's new? The nation is trying to figure out who should be the next president - we have debates tomorrow between the candidates - we have the typical fire storm brewing about the fact that it is no longer an independent function, there are biases being created, yadda yadda yadda.
Guess what folks it doesn't matter - in a bit of clarity it finally smacked me in the face the other night -the democrats are going to choke because somewhere along the way we as a party chose to play nicely with the other children on the playground - we have a bully or two (Michael Moore & Al Franken) and I stretch the definition of bully to include these gentlemen.
However, when we flip to other side and please don't use liberal and conservative - those definitions were lost long ago and should never be applied when talking about politics today. They have O'Reilly (the man who never tells anyone to "shut up") Hannity and Combs, Rush (everyone's favorite pill popping conservative watch dog) Limbaugh, and most of the cast of Fox News (oxymoron Fox News - hmm like military intelligence) - notice a trend here - the media is your most powerful ally when you become a politician - and the boys running things right now have the media drinking daily from their special kool aid mix.
You will hear the arguement, "the media is controlled by those freaking liberals" I tend to disagree with that assessment - a recent Time article noted "3092 Bush campaign ads that aired from January through June on cable channels that mostly attract affluent white male voters - same period 265 Kerry campaign ads" Wish I could find the New Yorker article (yes even living in Utah I can find the occasional dissident publication) that was attempting to make the same point.
Somewhere someone dropped the ball - why aren't there rude democrats? Who said things had to be nice and polite? The occasional shock jock, some musicians banding together are not going to swing the vote. College Humor (NSFW) has been running a political contest of sorts, actually think they might be on to something and then we have Votergasm (NSFW) - talk about setting the republicans off - Rush has been foaming at the mouth for two days now. MTV has Rock The Vote with VH1 throwing in their support too - that's the key - the youth - need to spin them up - give them a reason to want to jump on board, let them realize that no matter how screwed up things are the adults know that they are leaving the mess for the next generation to clean up.
Michael Moore is coming to town – here in
Have I rambled enough - what am I trying to say - get out there do the research and add your vote to those in November. As a republican friend of mine noted the other day, "it disappoints me to know that my vote is being cancelled out by your vote." Happy to make that difference.

How to interview? Observations I have made.
1st and foremost always exhibit confidence. Approach an interview as if you are selling something - Yourself! I bring examples of my previous work along. Whether it's the book I helped write or some documentation from my last project. The whole idea here is convincing the interviewer that by choosing you they will get the best ROI! (Return On Investment)
If you don't know the answer to a question have a strong supporting backup answer. How would you go about finding the answer? What resources would you utilize to determine the correct answer? 90% of the time the interviewer is looking to understand how you think and how you act on your feet.
Don't be afraid of failure - without failure you simply don't learn things in life. The questions I ask are standard interview questions all picked up from Google - learn a solid answer for these types of questions and again stick to that answer - personal answers are not the best answers. Interviewers are more interested in how you handled something on the job - be it college, senior project or an after school job.
Listen to the interviewer - they often give hints in their questions as to how they want you to answer them back. It could be within the question they are asking or it could have come in the discussion of a previous question.
Don't put it on your resume if you can't answer the question. It amazes me that people still do this. If the technical grilling doesn't catch it in the interview you will fall down on the job and then everyone knows it.
And finally read the job description closely - notice the hints as to what they will be interviewing you on. Create an outline of the necessary knowledge before the interview - I often make a multiple page review sheet before I go to an interview that refreshes me on the different questions that could arise from my resume and the job description.

Done gone and got funded
This is a wonderful thing - it means there are people out there that believe in what we are going to deliver - FTTH - and it also has some sadness behind it - my life is about to go to hell in a handbasket. I have been enjoying working in the lab, testing code, writing software, learning the insides of the network and come Monday this all changes - all the real work begins and we deliver on the promise. (Any old WINfirst crew will remember this as our catch phrase.)
I am sure there is more to say but at this very moment I am supposed to be in a meeting.

The Bookstore - Yippie Skippie
It could also be that as a little boy my father owned a college bookstore (same campus where I would end up going to school) and I grew up in a crib in the back among the books.
It might be that I was the only kid growing up that had a room in his house called the library, big chairs, well the old white oak house had big chairs and an ugly couch. The room had walls with shelves of books, and my dad; being the eclectic he was, had a book on every subject.
Anyway back to the post - I picked up two new books to add to my growing collection of Web/PHP/MySQL books and then as an after thought I picked up a new hacking/security book.
MySQL/PHP Database Applications
To quote the review, "Rather than make up trivial programs just to illustrate aspects of the MySQL/PHP environment, this book features code snippets, each half a page or so in length, that illustrate the behavior of key code structures. For example, in explaining conditional statements in PHP, the book gives you a no-frills IF statement with real values in place. It's not always obvious how the code structures will behave in practice, but the book does a consistently good job of commenting intelligently on the place of each aspect of the language in a well-designed application. The latter half of the book attacks specific problems--a chat system, a guest book, and so on--and walks through the setup of MySQL and each important PHP function for each. --David Wall" Couldn't have described it any better.
Dreamweaver MX 2004 - The Missing Manual
If you haven't ever picked up a missing manual - you have been missing out on the secrets of most every operating system, software application currently being used. I have read the OS X book, the iPod book, and even the Windoze XP book. These are great, nice simple lessons that show me how to easily take my raw php/mysql and add it to beautifully created web pages. Anything that helps me look better than I normally look works for me.
and finally a book that scares me a lot -
Stealing the Network: How to Own a Continent
This books scares me in multiple ways - First as a wannabe hacker in my youth I am frightened to see how I could have been so easily swayed to make a real nuisance of myself for someone else's gain. Secondly as the acting Director of Security, building a FTTH network that will give some awesome capabilities to some misguided youth (nothing wrong with this - I was misguided) I see the endless possibilities that someone could take this network too. Finally I read this book and wonder to myself, (me wondering) "This book teaches those script kiddies that if they actually learned 2+2=4, or how to use MS Project, they too could be real nuisances to society. So in the end I give this book all my recommendation - want to understand how that dark world you are trying to protect your systems from work - read the first book in the series Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box Want to understand how your whole network could fit into someone's puzzle and be used to for their gain read the second book. I can't wait for the next book.

Tuesdays with Morrie
So I was flipping through the channels- okay my mother in law was watching Oxygen and the movie happened to be coming on. So here I sit watching it, trying to gleam the few bits of wisdom the producers might have allowed to be included in a movie as they slaughtered the original manuscript.
I should go fishing - I think better when I am standing in the middle of a cool stream watching the water dapple as a trout noses up to the top to see what some crazy fool is throwing across the water.

PHP, MySQL...Oh my
In the process of building this tool I have come to love three books: (has to be love when I regulary haul them back and forth from office to house.)
PHP and MySQL Web Development
The purple book - This book has a great layout,you start building an order system for Bob's Auto Parts and work through adding to the scripts. I keep thinking it's an O'Reilly book, and looking for it on my Safari account when I can't remember something. It is what I consider one of the best references going for building good web sites.
PHP MySQL Website Programming: Problem - Design - Solution
This book has given me some processes for building a website from the ground up. I have just spun my own sites out without really thinking about it, looking at the flows, or even deciding how the file structure should be constructed before I actually began programming. I took those classes back in my college programming days and forgot them soon after I became a Network Engineer.
and finally because everyone should have a book about web site design from one of the best
Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing
I have owned this book for several years, quoted from it (CTO Breakfast) and generally have used this book as reference for everything web related I have ever touched. Philip is always writing something interesting, he had an amazing company (I dreamed of working for his company. You can do a little research on the web and find out how about the demise of ArsDigita.)

Little Girls
Haven't been around for a few weeks - My life got turned upside down about two weeks early. My spank'n new little girl showed up on June 20th. The doctor, my wife, son and myself were all under the impression that she would arrive in our hands July 4th. She obviously didn't get the memo...
So I got McKaia Ann at 14:08 MST on June 20th. She came into the world at 7.46 lbs, and 18.5 inches long - I think that was a bit of a stretch - she is so tiny. I can hold all of her in one hand - amazing!
I will try to get back up to date - have a very busy week in front of me - Service Provider is in town, need to finish the mockups for provisioning web pages, and look at the video channel manager.

New RSS Reader
So here we go again - trying a new reader on my Windows PC - Sauce Reader - I have been swapping as much well I live in Utah you make up the joke to go along with that.
I already like this reader it allows me from inside of various feeds to go ahead and blog about it, as well as just to create my own on the fly. makes it nice when I am sitting in a meeting come up with a thought after reading someone's feed and want to pass it along.
I am intrigued with RSS and what can be done with it. I have been working on an interface for the provisioning system, as an addition to the interface I have added a RSS feed that allows the NOC Manager the ability to see all the ports being configured. So we have a rolling status window of all the installs taking place in the field. Neat way to tweak the technology for a constant update. As an addition I also have the interface track all the configured ports per NOC technician and deliver a newsletter at the end of the day showing the productivity and errors broken out. Should be an interesting tracking model for the NOC.

Tcl_Dev_Kit 3.1 - Building TclApps
So for the last week I have been messing around with this Expect script, fondly known in my office as the WardGUI, it will allow a NOC technician the ability to choose a specific community switch location, then the slot and port number associated with a specific house and finally the services that need to be enabled for that location. The script works, needs some spit and polish and to actually have some files to pull the variables from but it delivers the goods on my one test switch. (Please see the UTOPIA project if this makes no sense to you.)
So then I decided I needed to get fancy and as I like to consider myself a bit of a *nix nut let's add some fun to the mix. Originally the GUI part was going to be driven from the web but then I got the bright idea I could wrap this whole thing up in a pretty little TclApp - this would allow me to run it on my happy Mac, the Windows XP box I have been beating the script out on or the FreeBSD box I originally wrote the Expect script on. Now the people in the audience are watching this and someone just whispered, "you know you could do that on all those machines with a web interface?" Yes, I know that but where's the challenge and besides I am building it and you're not, so leave me alone.
To most programmers this would seem quite trivial - they could more than likely knock this little doodad out in a day but to a non-programmer (I build networks man!) this has been quite a struggle. ActiveState is doing their best to help me accomplish this with their documentation, and demos. I will let you know how this thing turns out.
If anyone has any good TclApps that I should take a look at let me know. Might as well learn how to do this right the first time.

SecurityFocus HOME Infocus: TCP/IP Skills Required for Security Analysts
This article brings to point something that has bothered me off and on for awhile. You need the skills before you claim you can do it.
For several years now I have been interviewing network engineers. I have a standard that I have been following that involves a 15 page Excel spreadsheet that contains basic questions that most CCNAs should be able to answer. During the process of giving out this interview I have had various reactions - several gentlemen have left in tears - to having one engineer actually point out an error in my questions. He got hired immediately.
Interviewing has gotten tougher in our industry - before you put a resume out there make sure you understand everything you claim you know. You don't have to be able to recite the specific RFC details assocaited with MGCP.
I encourage young engineers to understand the OSI model, play around with the TCP stack, learn how things communicate, but don't forget to take the time to understand the architecture within your computer and it's relation to the OS's - Windows XP, Linux, FreeBSD.

I now live in Saratoga Springs, UT. A small little town with great aspirations of becoming a little larger town. Hey, it has a grocery store, movie rental store, a gas station, and two pizza parlors.
The city building leaves a little to be desired but then it's paid for. If the city ever need s to move, our city council can walk outside and bolt the wheels back on.
I moved here to Utah from Colorado because I was finally convinced that there was a need for FTTH (Fiber To The Home) The project I am currently working on is called UTOPIA. A very unfortunate name but all in all a very interesting project.
I have been involved with the project for over a year now. I have had a range of responsibilities including and not limited to speaking in front of several city council meetings, the Utah Senate Transportation & Public Utilities & Technology Standing Committee, and anyone else I could get to stop and listen to me.
My current title is Director of Integration and Security. Many would think what an amazing title, you must have so much responsibility. Well they would be right about one thing - I currently have 7 projects open on my desktop that require my attention by the end of this month. We are after all a start up and everything that comes with being a startup has landed on or near my desk if it has anything to do with integrating this network.
Oh and don't forget I also need to make sure we are secure about what we are doing. I picked my CISSP up at the start of this project and fortunately the things I learned concerning Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity, Cyber Incident Response, and Forensics have all come to be useful. Still not sure why I need to remember how tall a secure fence needs to be and why again it needed 3 strands of barb wire.
Well that's enough for now. I will be trying to relay my thoughts, interesting articles etc. through this interface to the world.
Interesting tidbits of the web I have found.
I love this. I really need to get one - maybe I could carry it around with me at night , bound to be better on the environment than a battery.
Newspaper Kites
This is an important skill to know. Whether you build a kite for yourself or children, this will always manage to bring a smile. Paper airplanes are acceptable on rainy days but nothing is better than a blustery March day and a kite pulling at your arm.
You should take a look at least once a week if you are in the technology business. It's always better to know that you have a system that has a major compromise than it is to find out 2 days later when a script kiddie has crashed your web server into the ground. Remember the moment you connect to the net you are working without a safety net.

I heard Kona, Hawaii, is beautiful this time of year. I can attest it is true. I was in Kona for a few days covering a technology story and then the Ironman World Championships, both for Sports Illustrated. The entire day of Ironman craziness is certainly a sight to behold, with over 2,000 athletes grueling out 140 miles swimming, biking and running. The best in the world do this in just over eight hours. It takes others all 17 hours to pull off the feat. I bounced around the transition area most of the day, witnessing the professional start at 6:30 a.m., the super-quick transitions and folks strapping on running shoes for an entire marathon after finishing riding their road bike for 112 miles. More from the Ironman scene is in my Sports Illustrated piece. Check it out here.

CHRIS MURPHY: Hi. On behalf of Expert Village, this is Chris Murphy. I'm here at the NewYork Comedy Club in New York City.
Today we'regoing to talk about how to have a career incomedy. This is all about watching other comics.
Me, I tend to not watch them because I don'twant their influences into my acts, so I tendnot to do it.
However, in the beginning, Ithink it's a good thing to do. Don't imitatethem and don't be too influenced by them thatyou're lifting their stuff.
What you wantto do is watch how they handle themselves, how they're poised. So, go to a headlinershow where some outstanding comics are onand see what they're saying and how they'remaking people laugh, is the poise up there?
It's really a good thing to do to watch someonebetter than you. 'Cause when you're an openmic comic, you tend to pat yourself on theback there, "Boy, I'm really good.
No, no, no. Be the best open-micer out there. Raiseyour standard, raise the stake, go watch someonewho's outstanding and see how he or she handleshimself, so--then you'll know how much workyou have ahead of you.

Taylor: He had some terrible name…I can't remember it. Ahhh…what was it?
Me: Milton? Norman? Francis?
Taylor: No, no. It was a weird name. It was something like…um…like maybe…Dilnus.
Me: …
Taylor: …
Me: Dilnus? What? What the hell kind of name is Dilnus?
Taylor: I don't know! That's not the guy's name. It's just something like Dilnus. Auugh, I wish I could remember-
Me: No, no. Dilnus is awesome. That is hilarious. Hilarious. We are naming our first child Dilnus. End of discussion.
Taylor: Haha! "Oh, our sweet baby…Dilnus."
Me: Or, no, wait, no. We will get a dog, and we will name it Dilnus. Dilnus is the best name I have ever heard for a dog.
Taylor: "GOD DAMMIT DILNUS, I TOLD YOU NOT TO POOP THERE."
Me: Haha, oh god! That is the best thing!
Taylor: "DILLLLNUUUUUUUUUUUS!!"
Me: It works so well, because if we have a completely stupid dog named Dilnus, it will be hilarious.
Taylor: "Herp de derp, it's meeee, Dilnus!"
Me: And if we have a brilliant dog, like, a German Shepard that is way too smart for its own good, and we name it Dilnus…
Taylor: Like, if he was smart enough to hate us for the name that we gave on him.
Me: We'd be all, "Fetch, Dilnus! Come on! Fetch! Fetch the stick!" and he would just give us this long withering look.
Taylor: "Please, God, let me choke on my kibble today."
Me: "Aw, Dilnus, you so silly!"
Taylor: "My life is a pit of humiliation and shame. Signed, Dilnus."
Me: "Dilnus, quit reading the Wall Street Journal and come eat this chicken fat I dropped on the floor."
Taylor: AMAZING. We will have this dog someday.
Me: A dog named Dilnus.
Taylor: We are terrible people.

Günter Grass's "What Must Be Said" is not much of a poem, considered in literary terms, even in the original German, but a great kerfuffle has arisen over it, with Grass being banned from entering the state of Israel by the current Israeli regime, having his "Nazi past" resurrected as evidence of alleged antisemitism expressed somehow by the poem, even though his time serving in the German military in the Second World War consisted mainly of surviving basic training and then wandering about the country as a foot soldier barely out of adolescence amidst the wrack, ruin and chaos of the war's closing days, virtually clueless about where he would wind up. Grass never participated in the organized murder of Jews or any other group in disfavor with the Nazis, and there has never been a shred of evidence–other than Grass's own account, wherein he doesn't attempt to conceal, despite his insignificant role in the atrocious activities of the Third Reich, what he still today regards as a moral stain–that he was involved in any of the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis upon humanity in general and even, ultimately, upon the German people whom the Nazis led into bloodlust and bloodshed.
But you wouldn't know it for all the fuming and foaming over Grass and his–to be frank–rather bad poem. Grass, for having committed the crime of criticizing Israel, is now officially regarded by the Israeli government as a monstrous, unrepentant Jew-hating Nazi.
As an ethnic Jew, I find nothing antisemitic or even vaguely pro-fascist or pro-Nazi in what the poem has to say–about Iran, and Germany selling arms to Israel, and rash and intolerant talk of war–or in how it says it. And so while I wouldn't teach it or study it alongside the poetry of Shakespeare or Dickinson or Pablo Neruda or County Cullen or even Woody Guthrie, what it has to say is important enough for me to point to it, not for its poetic value but for its ethical plangency and solicitude.

Yes, we have all experienced them at one time or another, and are sometimes forced to encounter them on a regular basis. What's that you ask? It's a surly doctor's staff. I don't know if I'm just lucky, or there are an inordinate amount of cranky physician's staffs out there. As I may have mentioned in other posts, I own a small business and am a fanatic about providing (and receiving) great customer service. My desire to receive great customer service does not stop at a doctor's office door. In fact, I think patients are entitled to an even higher standard of customer (patient) care. Let's face it, people typically visit a doctor's office most often, because they are un-well. There are few things that are more unpleasant than being greeted by a person whose tone of voice and snarly facial expression say, Thanks for the interruption! I am always surprised that the physicians who we pay to be detail oriented when diagnosing us, seem oblivious to their staff's behavior toward patients. Now I'm not generalizing about every staff member and often it may be just one rotten apple. Or maybe someone is having a really bad day…it happens. I am talking about the consistently nasty folks who just seem angry and unhappy to be there. I am currently in search mode for a new PCP because of just such behavior. And I'm sure that I'm not the only patient who has done so. It happens daily and in many doctor's offices. But I happen to think that the part of the Hyppocratic Oath that says: "That above all else I will serve the highest interests of my patients through the practice of my science and my art" should also include the way that patients are treated from the time they walk through the office door, until they leave. I mean, at the end of the day, a doctor's office is still a 'for profit' business. I think that the physician(s) and their staffs who run their offices would do well to remember: 1. Who pays their salaries and 2. "Thou Shalt Do Unto Others As You Would have Them Do Unto You"

"Hopefully" – this word comes up regularly from our favourite sports captains when they review the match. What do they mean? They are full of hope that they will do better next time or win the next game, or win the World Cup or whatever. It's always about the next time but it's always uncertain.
"Hope" is also a Bible word, but it has a very different meaning. It's about a future that is already present to God because He is in the future. Here is an illustration.
My brother is building a model of an ancient sailing ship, the Santa Maria. What guarantee does he have that his model will turn out as it should? He has a picture of it on the box and he has diagrams and instructions for each step. If he follows the instructions, the end result will be just like the picture.
Bible hope is like that. God has already shown us the end result of our faith – Jesus. He is the picture on the box. He has also supplied the instructions for becoming like Jesus – His Word. If we follow the instructions, the end result will be exactly like 'the picture on the box'. But there is something special about Bible hope that my brother does not have.
He has the pieces and the instructions but it's up to him alone as to whether his model eventually looks like the real Santa Maria or not. He has no one to help him iron out his mistakes or help him build it to specifications. What if he puts a cannon in the wrong place, or leaves a piece out here or there? His model will be incorrect or incomplete and won't match the picture. We have the Holy Spirit who interprets God's word and helps us to obey His instructions.
My brother has a box full of ready-cut pieces. We have a book full of God's promises. He puts the pieces together with faith and patience. We inherit God's promises with faith and patience. When he has completed the task, he will have a perfect model of the Santa Maria. When God has finished His task, we will be exact replicas of Jesus with a resurrection body and a perfect spirit just like His.
That's our hope but it will only be fulfilled if we do our part by working with the Holy Spirit and following the instructions. Our guarantee is that God has promised to complete what He began.
'. . .Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.' (Phil. 1:6)

3rd serious meal on my trip to Long Beach.
The Omelette Inn was a cute little sidewalk restaurant in Long Beach. Their website does no justice to the extensive menu they have. I'm very upset that I didn't take a menu or atleast take a picture of one. UGGHHH!!!!! They had a ton of omelettes, vegetarian options, sandwiches and brown rice too.
I shared two items with a friend. We split the Veggie Chilaquiles and Eggs Florentine.
The chilaquiles were made with tortillas, soy chorizo, scrambled eggs, salsa/red sauce, peppers, cheese and crema. All of this is then fried. It was wonderful. It came with a side of home fries. This was my first chilaquiles experience and I will be seeking them again. I can't believe I don't have the menu!!
The eggs florentine were like eggs benedict but with spinach instead of ham. But you knew that! We got this with a side of has browns so that we tried both forms of potato sides. I think I actually like the hash browns more than the home fries. But I think it's because I'm picky about my home fries. They were good, but too potatoey, and I was soo full. Otherwise this dish was oretty good, very saucy. The english muffin was pretty soggy and the spinach was a little bitter, which makes me think it could have been frozen or canned spinach. But it most likely wasn't.
I loved that David kept trying to like coffee on this trip. He would try it whenever I ordered it, but would make sure that he sipped it before I tainted it with sugar and cream. He's so cute. Needless to say the guy that consistently orders hamburgers and fries didn't like coffee, any time he tried it. His words "that's HOT" "ugh, that's turrible, how can you drink that?" HAHAHA I love him.
That same hamburger guy who hates coffee, also hates eggs. Guess who ventured out of the comfort zone at the Omelette Inn? He said "F#$k it, we're at an egg place right? I'll order eggs." So he ordered an omelette with chili and cheese. Ha! It was like an egg burrito. He liked it and was full very fast. I'm so proud of him. :)
Noel ordered the Huevos Rancheros. I'm happy he didn't want his avocado bc I got to eat it. :) It looked pretty good. I think he liked it.
Downstairs to the bathroom.
There was a curtain for one of the bathroom stall doors.

The day after the court denied Johannes Mehserle defense attorney Michael Rains' 995 motion to dismiss the murder case due to supposed judicial improprieties, Rains filed his long-expected motion for a change of venue (attached below). Mehserle and his defense team appear to be hoping for the murder trial to be moved out of Alameda County as their last best chance for him to avoid a conviction for the murder of Oscar Grant III on January 1st, 2009.

- Google and Apple are making big bets on augmented reality apps for smartphones. AR will soon be accessible to tens of millions of people. But the technology is likely to remain niche until AR can be used in other gadgets, like fashionable computerized glasses.
In the 10 years since the modern smartphone era began, the same question has been on everyone's mind: "What's next?"
The smartphone hasn't even reached maturity, but everyone seems obsessed with killing it off in favor of something new.
For awhile, it was thought to be wearables, with smartwatches finally helping us break our smartphone addiction. That one didn't shake out. And with the exception of the Apple Watch, smartwatches are mostly toast.
Today, it's augmented reality (AR) that has the tech world hyperventilating. This is the concept that puts digital images on top of the real world. If you've ever played Pokémon GO or made a video with Snapchat's dancing hot dog, then you've experienced AR.
But a lot of companies think it can go further than that. From Facebook to Apple to Google to startups like Magic Leap, there are more and more ideas about how AR could not only replace the smartphone, but every other screen we use.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg summed up that theory pretty well in an April interview with The New York Times: "Think about how many of the things around us don't actually need to be physical," he said. "Instead of a $500 TV sitting in front of us, what's to keep us from one day having it be a $1 app?"
That vision won't shake out for another several years, when technology has caught up to the point where people can wear computerized glasses all day without looking like goofballs. In the meantime, the technology that may end up killing the smartphone is finding a new life on those very same devices. You're going to see an explosion of new AR apps this fall on your smartphone, but it's not going to be the revolution promised by Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and others.
In a few weeks, Apple will release iOS 11, the new version of the iPhone and iPad operating system. The key feature: ARKit, which includes new tools that make it easy for developers to add AR to their apps. Before ARKit came along, developers needed a lot of resources to make AR work well on the iPhone. That was fine for the Snapchats and Facebooks of the world that have truckloads of money and armies of engineers, but not for the smaller shops that make the majority of the apps you find in the App Store.
Now, anyone can bring AR to life on iOS. When iOS 11 launches, tens of millions of iPhones and iPads will suddenly be AR-ready, making iOS the largest AR platform in the world overnight.
Apple isn't alone. On Tuesday, Google announced its own AR developer tool for Android called ARCore, which will only work with a few Android phones at first as developers build out their apps. Google plans to enable AR on about 100 million Android devices by the end of the year, and just about every new Android phone will be AR-ready out of the box by this time next year.
There's already a hunger to start experimenting. Since Apple released ARKit to developers in June, we've seen a wide variety of clever AR apps. The other day, I tried Ikea's new shopping app for iOS 11 that lets you digitally place a piece of furniture you might want to buy in your home to see if it fits. No more tape measures or guessing. You can literally see what that couch will look like in your living room before you click the buy button.
Then there are other experiments, like virtual tape measures and this cool "portal" concept that lets your walk through a doorway into a virtual world. (You can follow the Twitter account @madewithARKit for even more great examples in the works for iOS 11.) I'm sure Apple will have some other cool third-party AR apps to demo during the iPhone 8 event in a few weeks.

AR isn't new to Android phones though. I've also been playing around with an Android phone that's powered by Google's Tango AR platform, which uses advanced sensors to scan your surroundings and create even more detailed environments than what you see with devices that just rely on the camera. But since Tango requires specialized hardware, the app selection is pretty pitiful, and most of it feels experimental. ARCore and ARKit will entice developers to get finally get creative and release their apps on a massive scale.
"I think phones are the most widely distributed computer there is," Google's director of product for AR Nikhil Chandhok told me in an interview this week. "There are 3 to 5 billion phones in the world. There are market forces at work. Everyone is going to push on that access to innovation to get more out of the phone. AR is one manifestation."
But so far, AR on the phone feels niche. It's great for goofy stuff like gaming and some practical tasks like shopping, but the limitations of the smartphone keeps the technology from being as disruptive as many have predicted. You'll still be using "normal" apps for just about everything for the foreseeable future.
We're in the experimental phase for AR. People I've spoken to at Apple and Google don't even know how it'll play out. They figure they can release the tools developers need to make AR apps on the phone, and eventually someone will stumble onto something amazing. Maybe the next Instagram. Maybe the next Minecraft. Maybe nothing.
Chandhok was bullish on the prospects of AR, saying it could enhance a lot of things we already do on the smartphone, like shopping, gaming, and even search. (This is Google, after all.)
"So far, AR has only been talked about in the context of Snapchat… essentially toys," he said. "Very soon it can become very obvious for high-value scenarios, things people do every day that can be made better with AR."
Apple and Google's AR push is a good first step, and lays the foundation for a few years from now when AR headsets no longer look like something out of a bad sci-fi movie. For now, the smartphone isn't going anywhere.
