phoneless iphone

i REALLY want an ipod touch. that thing looks so cool. i can't do browsing or google sms with my phone, so having a browser in my pocket would be awesome... i'm usually around a wifi point. plus multi-touch input! I got to play with an iphone once, and while i wouldn't use at&t or spend hundreds on a phone/contract, i really liked the device. it seems very well done. the screen is just freaking amazing; so bright and high resolution. and the touch input worked just like it does in the videos. it's like it just knows what you want to do.

all right, let's not get carried away. this thing was just released, maybe i should wait till the second iteration. the problem i see now is the 8/16G capacity. wtf is that about apple? the ipod "classic" they're calling it now has a 160G capacity. my current ipod (3rd gen) is 20G (i'm using 13G, don't think i'd want to downgrade my space so much). tell me the next iteration will have at least 20G for the low end model. i just have to wait.... wait... wait...

The Lab is Full of Sheep!

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you suck and should go to electricsheep.org

Hungry??

Yeah, I like to do random shit at friends' houses.

grrrrr (annoying nerd stuff)

So i've been working with this problem for a while and the solution REALLY annoyed me. I used to be able to use the command+k to access my windows shares using smb right. blahblah, nothing difficult. Then one day, it stops working!?!?! I would type in the smb://serverip and it'd be like, "cannot connect cause name or password is incorrect." Huh?!?! I didn't even get a prompt box. What the hell?? yeah, so finally, after stupid trying of stuff... using cifs, trying different formats for the connection, using smbclient from terminal (which btw worked, but i'm too dumb to work the command line), disabling and enabling the microsoft signed traffic dealy (disabled cause previous to 10.4, had to be. i have 10.4, found out it encrypts by default) I find out why it isn't working. YOU HAVE TO HAVE NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP ENABLED!!! WHAT!?!??!?! it's true. as soon as i enabled it on the servers, bam, authentication box, connection works. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. it doesn't even make sense.

ok, now so it's not just a nerd post... the microwavable chef boyardee mac&cheese is gross.

Fuck you Microsoft

Needs service my ass. That thing just got the shit modded out of it

you know it's a bad day in the lab when...

Some people like morning coffee, others like to suck on a battery

ha, so apparently ie gets pissed if you try to call a javascript function twice. my bad. but my "FUCK YOU IE" still remains valid as IE has no native support for m-jpegs. ugh. what am I supposed to do now???

FUCK YOU IE

Error on page!?!?! it works in Firefox, wtf is wrong with you. Yeah and how about error codes that actually tell me something. I totally know what "Object Required" means especially when the source code there is a BLANK LINE.... seriously. So I said, 'maybe the code generated from this site just doesn't work.' and tried a whole new page with nothing else. IT'S FINE. no errors at all!!! I didn't change it a bit to add it to the existing page and BAM, errors. Fucking IE. I don't care what anyone says, IE 7 is NOT going to be cool. It's going to suck just like it does now. wooeee, tabs!! yeah, everyone else did that 3 years ago!

GAHHHHHHHHHh

Take that Windows

wooohooo! i R l337.... or something. all kinds of fun can be had changing the logonui.exe and ntoskrnl.exe files! I found this cool program called resource hacker that lets you open these into their parts. i guess it decompiles it and then recompiles it. you can export/replace bmps and change scripts. it took me a while cause there's so many parts, but i finally got a sweet login screen. the loading screen was actually really easy to change. It only took one try. and now, what you've all wanted to see....

Computer Mod

my computer is useful. two drawers hold what will eventually be a firewall (i haven't installed anything yet, but it will probably be OpenBSD) and the top drawer is holding all my extra computer pieces. of course i took pictures...
