GONE

I no longer have pink eye! What am I going to say when people ask "Why are your eyes bloodshot?" I'll have to tell them the other truth...immaculate

...and it's Thursday! Half-Naked Thursday too!

So my friends, another weekend approaches; debauchery, drunken words and another late-night scene are in the works. Plans?

...and I sit back, wondering how the hell this weekend flew by! Ohh, I know how - activities and being uber-fucking busy. Cheers!


I learned a few things this weekend:

1) Lumber costs money; it's cheaper to buy what I need and work from there. Yeah, I know, it's not as-authentic as making a table. I realized tools cost money and my tool chest consists of 1 hammer, 5 screwdrivers, a power drill and a first aid kit. So, yeah... I didnt make a table or get handy with any tools. Instead, I hit up the second hand stores and garage sales - I got a nice table and 4 stools for 20 dollars - sickest! Now I need to get wax and a chisel...

2) Pink-eye is _very_ contagious! I'm felt terrible for passing along my eye infection to Joy. She was a trooper about it.. .afterall, I thought I had a broken blood vessel from the 5 monitors in my office and the coughing on Friday night. Sour-Diesel?

3) I get racially profiled more than I admit. Sure, I didnt come to a complete stop. My bad. At least run my info... and when the poe reference my home-town by it's street name I know I have questions to answer. But I'll answer your questions, I have nothing to hide - No eLBows tucked into the secret compartment in my car. And officer, I can tell by your expression I didnt fit that description too well. No problems though. At least you're doing your job, making my neighborhood safe ;-)

Adam - thanks for providing the theory behind it all. What's your saying mate "You gotta know the law to break the law."

4) I enjoy drinking a beer after cutting grass! Octoberfest and seasonal beers... yum!

5) Downy makes a great fabric softener! I smell goooooooood!

6) Wireless networks (home and business) are _rarely_ secured. How do I know, wardriving around my old home town (while visiting the rents) and maintaining a wifi connection for 1.2 miles radius - and no, there isnt a WiMax or MiMO access point in my old town.

I drove and walked around my neighborhood detecting and accessing many-o-wi-fi points. Linksys, Belkin, D-Link... I think I connected to (routing to/from the internet and LAN) 11 Access Points over the weekend. Thank you 'default password' and thank you NetStumbler . So.. change your default password from admin or blank - next time I'll sniff those packets and filter your email. Geeked-out!

7) I hate guns. Of course, I dont need a gun - not for my job or protection. And Adam, I see why you cant use a sword! Fuck man, you're a cop - you need the protection, you need the vest. Crazy! Props though - I cant do your job. I'll sit in my office and monitor the network like a good sysAdmin. And no, we'll never trade jobs!

So, yeah... A good weekend - Ingredients = friends, family, technology, alcohol, ganj, US Open, banter, police, explaining brunch and linner, holding Joy, bills (paying them), soccer, Brazilian army ants, views, mornings, late nights and a dream...

I want to fix our fiber-optics.

Thanks for picking my brain, you know I love to banter about geeky shit.

I'll return with your regularly scheduled bs I call my blog. I have nothing to bitch or banter about other than the random but meaningful thoughts and images of my life.

You may see my walking down the street, head nodding "Today was a good day...."

peace
