bash.org: the movie

I have wasted too much time recently reading the bash.org irc quote repository. It occurs to me that you could probably write several Hollywood quality comdy movies from the material there.

Last names

If Laura and I used the same married name algorithm as zooko and Amber we would have (Joey outlines it in this post):

Scaamrmpoennter

#p2p-hackers on hacktivismo's 6to4 - IRC Log

Intresting reading from #p2p-hackers on hacktivismo’s 6to4. The summary is Arma, of mixmixion and onion routing, fame thinks it won’t work.

SprintPCS Vision down

SPCS’s internet service is down, yet again. It was down most of last week as well. But here’s the dumb thing. The internet is not down, I know, I just connected via ppp and ssh’ed home, but it’s their damn proxy servers. And the really dumb thing is I can’t set up my own proxy server, because I can’t configure the phone to use any other.

Grr…

A Deepness in the Sky

I’m 45 pages into Vernor Vinge’s A Deepness in the Sky. I was told it was good by zooko and I could have guessed as much by the fact that Tim May, cypherpunk ringleader, is in the acknowlegments for the book. But damn, this is good.
