| Something fishy is going on. No, not 2 for the price of 1 dead unjugged halibutt day at the fish market. Something fishier than a scooby doo plot line. Things are getting SMALLER! Oh yes my frinds. Remember ice-lollies, twisters, fabs, calippos, they are all way smaller than they used to be! But this evil trend is not limited to ice lollies, oh no! The average toffee crisp is 30% less nobbly on top than it was ten years ago. I can think of no rational explanation for this spooky phenomena! NO, NOT ONE!

| Hey everyone look at me, I've proved Microsoft Windows is insecure by writing a virus! No, the fact Microsoft Windows lets you press cancel at the login screen and then modify any file on the system proves Microsoft hadv't spent 1 second even thinking about security. Writing a virus just proves you are an idiot, and enjoy wasting your time. |

| If you ever find yourself in the seventies and need a way to distinguish normal people from idiots, there is a quick test you can do. Are they carrying a ukulele, and do they look like George Fornby? If so, they are a fool.
PS. Never go on a train ever again, incase George Fornby has jerked off in it. |

| Had lunch at the wonderful Love Apple Cafe today. As I sat there, my limbs feeling
heavy (heavier), my head gently throbbing and rocking to and fro, and the fuzzy
warmness of caffiene reaching every corpuscle in my body and infusing my cells and
my nervous system with the wonderful drug; I wondered, is the waitress a lesbian? I was facing the large windows, which were bright enough to fool my brain in to
thinking it was bright everywhere, when infact it was very dark inside. I could barely see my (vegetarian) food (no I am not a communist, wishy washy, hippy vegetarian). Anyway, lesbians good, sunlight bad. |

| Hello, whoah, my first entry in like, two months. Well, I'm writing it because I've had an odd morning.
Today, I had a bonding experience with my friends car, well, bAcklines to be precise. This morning, he came in to work, and accidentally left his lights on. Noone noticed untill about midday, at which time he had gone out to a client. I say "noticed", we couldnt NOT notice, as his battery had gone flat and his alarm was going off. No problem we thought, we have his keys here, we'll just charge it straight back up and turn his lights off.
A short while later, we had attached the jump cables and battled with his alarm
and immobiliser and got the engine started. Adam (whos car we were using), jumped out of bAcklines car, and in to his to rev it a bit. At this point, occurred a mean twist of fate. The car door fell shut, locking the keys inside the car. EEK.
Luckily door had ONLY JUST clicked in one click, and wasn't fully shut. There was a small gap above the door, where we could fit something in. After a quick think, we came inside the building and got a long length of serial cable. I tied
a slipknot on one end of it, and lowered it in the window. After a long period of poking and wiggling we managed to open the window about an inch, but DAMN, the window handle was in an upright position and we had nothing to push it down with. We spent aaages trying to hook a lever under the seet, which we could use as a sort of pully to open the window far enough to reach in and get the keys. All to no avail. We were stuck with a 1 inch window gap.
We came back inside and looked around for a while looking for some inspiring tools, eventually I found some large sheets of cardboard, we stuffed them inside the window, and a minute or two of wiggling and jiggling (greg and adam were wiggling, I was on jiggling duty) we got the window open about 5 inches. Greg
reached in and got the keys. WOOO!!! And not a scratch on the car. Oh, and after
an hour of trying to break in to his car, not one person stopped us to ask what we were doing (odd that).
A wierd thing though, I had somehow become emotionally close to this piece of (admittedly pimp azz) machinery during the whole process. I'd spent so long outside in the freezing cold trying to get her to comply with my wish. It was almost like my real life experiences with girls. Except with girls I usually use more electrical cable, gaffer tape, chains and maybe some lubricating jelly. Oh, and I usually dont do it with greg and adam, in my work car park.
He still hasn't got back yet, I hope he doesn't strangle me.... |

| God damn it, I just tried applyig for a job at microsoft, via their website AGAIN, (as a developer on the "OS" team) - For a company who want to move(tm) in(tm) to the "web" they can't even get a website right, it led me in circles for ages, some pages hinting it was possible to apply on the web, others that it wasnt, it also led me around a different website for each country in the civilised world, and still I got nowhere. For a company who specialize(r) in usability(tm) and "intuitive" Interfaces(You have just agreed to the EULA by reading this). You would have thought they would make more of an effort. |

My rants today are twofold and thus.
1. SETI, and SETI@home. Its very moniker suggests its own futility. Search for
extra-terestrial intelligence. I believe intelligence is elswhere in the universe,
it certainly isn't here on earth, but that fact that even we even have a word for it,
would suggest that there must be intelligence somewhere in the infinite cosmos.
By definition, this intelligence would be intelligent and therefore stear
well clear of earth, and the humans therein. What would would they gain from a
race that, since the dawn of its creation has been pre-occupied with
destroying itself and murdering and plundering?
2. Distributed.net. I have a PC, it has a CPU, I bought it, I bought it for myself. I did not by it so it could spend 99% of its time brute forcing an
encrypted message on the whim of some fool, who I don't even know.
To say
it is for the good of the security/crpto community transgresses the bounds
of reason. Brute forcing a message does not test the strength of the
encryption, you can work out how long it will take with a calculator, a
twelve year old could do it. Brute forcing an enciphered message is not
the best way to retrieve the plaintext, unless the cipher is perfect.
We already have perfect ciphers. None of the algrithms d.net use, or have
used, have been perfect. A better idea would be to employ 5 cryptanalysts for
a week, and have them mull over the algorithm and produce a public report.
And perhaps even demonstrate how you could retrive plaintexts from its
ciphertexts.
"But its a waste to have a powerful CPU and lots of memory if you don't use it!" - Yes, buy less RAM, or a slower CPU if you don't really need it.
"But it only uses idle CPU cycles and a minimum of RAM!" - Yes, it still decreases system responsiveness, and overall system performance, especially on high demand applications. And hell, I want all my free memory for my VFS cache, so my I/O bound applications will run faster, even during periods of high disk activity.
