Random Musings - Day #288

Huge patch Tuesday updates. Sky has free news. Family guy helps out Microsoft. London techies get their kit off for charity. People are finding resetting accounts triggering account lockouts on twitter.

Random Musings - Day #252

9/9/9
Today was 9/9/9 and thankfully that day passed through near enough quietly.

Twitter RANT
Decided to just use twitter as following tool. Maybe I am not using it right but I think it's useless if you want to talk to someone new, really... You can't direct message unless they are following you. How the hell are you supposed to get a message across @someone and everyone potentially could see your tweet. No thanks. RANT OVER.

BTW my twitter is Shy 90, which I am now only tweeting useless 90s facts.

Internet Radio
A couple more internet radio stations to look out for. Some DJs that I know of are at Rockin Radio. Also found fallen sword via twitter.

Java certify me
Sun is telling me to upgrade my Java Certification.

More one-liners
This one was done on-the-fly. Figure out what the awk does?

cat all-result.txt | grep 10.0.0.1 | grep HIGH | grep 'MS0' | awk '{where=match($0,"MS0?-???"); print substr($0,where,8)}'

Turns out it was easier to replace an enhanced grep...

grep -o "MS[0-9+]-[0-9]*."

As shown in the modified one-liner...

cat all-result.txt | grep 10.0.0.1 | grep HIGH | grep 'MS0' | grep -o "MS0[0-9]-[0-9]*." | sort | uniq

To read a argument from shell... "READ IPS"

Random Musings - Day #240

Well I forgot to post this article about Amitjo Kajila, the prison warden who lost her job because of her good looks.

It looks like Google Earth has spotted the Loch Ness monster.

Now gone in 60 seconds is your WPA key. Meanwhile Apache's website was hacked.

Be careful of researching using google, Sky found out to their cost as they used a twitter photo on their website and that twitter found out and seeked revenge.

Random Musings - Day #219

Sometimes I surprise myself. Despite the things going on in my life, my sub-conscience is quite positive. I dreamed that I was telling someone

For every one, two people that have a bad life like me, there's another one, two, three, four people that things worse than you

There's probably going to be something made of this. But there are a lot of twitter results coming up for camtweet... specifically this one

Briefly, Susan Boyle has had one too many makeovers as now she looks like Anthea Turner

Irony strikes as the man who appears in the swine flu adverts (catch it, bin it, kill it) has got swine flu himself.

Random Musings - Day #212

Videos
Hmmm I was having problems with keepvid and had to look at another video stream capture site in savevideodownload. Although the latter works if not better than keepvid. It's full of adverts, so be warned.
I like this video of how to glide, float and slide. Also check out who the gingerbread man really is.

Football
Sir Bobby Robson died today. Darren Bent looks like he's made a right twitter of himself on his page and has been left to apologise for his actions. His twitter has mysteriously disappeared as well.

Hacked and gone
It looks like Gary McKinnon is in for some hard times after being extradited to the States.

Random Musings - Day #107

Of all the gin joints...
Of all the places in the world, the NY Times have in their infinite wisdom have decided Deptford is the happening place to be in London.
In similar news, Belvedere maybe the new Afro-Caribbean of the South-east as a new afro-carib pub/hotel/bar is opening next to the station. This is in addition to a West Indian store that opened a year or two.

Twitter's First Millionaire
... is Ashton Kutcher. He now has a million followers. Of course, Ashton is married to Demi Moore and I mentioned she really liked that video of Susan Boyle on Briain's got Talent. I've seen it now. That woman has an amazing voice.

Lady Gaga
It's the first time I've seen her interviewed. She is definitely a bit quirky and quiet at the same time. Jonathan Ross actually did a good job interviewing, getting her to chat a bit. Because initially I feared we could have had a Meg Ryan moment.
