Tor on Android

tor — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 01:51:02 +0000

A pure Java implementation of me was released this Friday on Android. Thanks to Jamie Rytlewski for pointing this out.

Tor Deux

tor — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 15:42:51 +0000

My friend Nate insisted I post this to my site for safekeeping, as the joys of having a piece of security software share your name need to be kept for the ages. An article on slashdot maintains,

“Seems like the Storm botnet that was behind the last two waves of attacks is also responsible for this new kind of social-engineering based attacks, using spam to try and convince users of the necessity of using Tor for there communications. They “kindly” provide a link to download a trojaned version of Tor. “

The Funny Things You Find

I haven’t heard of this bug in Firefox before, but it sure is interesting. This comment was found in the source of the podcast feed for David Allen, author of “Getting Things Done”

This is 512 bytes of nonsense, since the Firefox 2 developers, in one of the strangest decisions ever, decided they would obsolete XML styles by overriding them without permission. Furthermore, the developers appear to be disinterested in fixing this. Therefore, we use the unofficial workaround, which includes filling up the first 512 bytes of a document so that the sniffer doesn’t encounter the RSS tag. I really enjoy using Firefox, but this particular behavior really annoys me! Anyway, since I’m almost at 512 characters, I’m going to ramble on for another minute in this comment, and then, without further ado, present you with a valid XML feed.

Also, Hi. It’s been a long time. Things have been good here.

Indian IE Team Introduced, Fails Math Test

Looks like someone on the Indian IE development team forgot how many fingers there are in “seven”. Oopsie. She sure looks happy though. :)

Vulnerability In Vulnerability List?

tor — Thu, 17 Mar 2005 21:56:33 +0000

I don’t know if anyone else caught it this morning, but I was quite amused. I checked the latest security vulnerabilities feed from SecurityFocus using Bloglines, and the end of every item was marked by a smiley face icon. The best part is that the image appeared to have been crafted in MS Paint. The idea that the feed about vulnerabilities may have been vulnerable tickles me pink.

“If I had a million dollars…”

tor — Sat, 05 Feb 2005 16:11:26 +0000

I’d still buy the Wendy’s dollar menu. Earlier this week, Ryan and I purchased the entire dollar menu from Wendy’s for lunch. Yes, I did tell the cashier, “I would like the entire dollar menu, please.”

Judging by the smile on Ryan’s face, it was well worth it.

The Shortest Distance Between Two Points…

tor — Tue, 17 Aug 2004 16:18:27 +0000

The quickest way to get to the men’s bathroom from my office is through the west corridors of the Auditorium.

It takes a total of 1 minute 36.9 seconds to go to the east, while only taking 1 minute 30.5 seconds to go to the west. For those of you who work in the westernmost offices, your decision should be made all the much more clear now. Good day.

Why It’s A Big Mac

tor — Thu, 12 Aug 2004 20:32:15 +0000

I stumbled upon a compiliation of corporate names and their etymology today through Randy Peterman’s blog. While many tales are quite interesting, perhaps the story that stood out most in my mind was McDonald’s history.

I’ve heard (unknowing of it’s validity) that McDonald’s was looking to compete with the success of Big Boy restaurants by cloning the recipe of the “Big Boy” sandwich, a double decker with onions, pickle, lettuce, and thousand island dressing. Interestingly, the two brothers who founded McDonald’s are named Dick and Mac…

Next time you head off to McDonald’s be thankful you’re not eating a Big Dick.

Fearless Squirrels

tor — Tue, 29 Jun 2004 15:24:13 +0000

This man was the victim of a driveby squirrel attack. My favorite quote…

His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt! I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, “Banzai!” or maybe, “Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum!” as the leap was spectacular and he flew over the windshield and impacted me squarely in the chest.

Hot Chicken Porn

tor — Wed, 14 Apr 2004 18:25:54 +0000

Hey everybody, it now appears you can get your daily fix of chicken webcam hotness without having to come home with a brown bag from your local adult video store. This chicken’ll do it all.

Your Moment of Zen

tor — Tue, 06 Apr 2004 00:24:36 +0000

To blatantly rip off the Daily Show, here’s your moment of zen for the day. I have no idea as to how this picture originated, but thought it was worth the post. No idea as to when or if these little penguins will remain hosted here for bandwidth reasons. Until then, link away.

Chill The Fuck Out Day

tor — Tue, 03 Feb 2004 16:51:36 +0000

Per Lorin’s observation of the Internet, I’ve decided that this site is too serious and all somber with straight up reviews. Wednesday February 12th will be our first ever Chill The Fuck Out Day.

Now that I’ve officially structured an event for relaxation, all four of you readers of this webpage are required to chill the fuck out.

Send your email and experiences on how you chilled out to president@whitehouse.gov

I’ll be listening to QotSA, Led Zeppelin, and Prince. Maybe I’ll just take a nap.

Am I making fun of Lorin? Do I agree with him? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

The answer is a resounding yes.
