The rattlesnake looked up at him and grinned, “You knew what I was when you picked me up.”

Jonathon, maybe if you wrote a song about your thoughts, you wouldn’t forget them as easily? Why is it all the sites that I visit when looking for lyrics and tab are 90% (flash and other annoying) ads?

I’ve always disliked the manual labor part of GPG key signing (that is, writing down my GPG key for people). When I started a new job 6 months ago, I was determined to get business cards with my GPG key on them, so that I could simply hand them to people. Due to various delays, I finally got my business cards about a month ago. Two weeks later, my laptop (with my private key on it) is stolen. I’ve just now revoked my key. My one-month-old business cards are now obsolete.

My new thinkpad x40 is the coolest thing since individually wrapped “cheese product” slices. It’s *that* cool!

After I arrived home on Wednesday to find my place broken into, I called my roommate to tell him. When I told him it looked like his XBox was missing, he replied with, “Oh no, they didn’t take my clothes, did they?” I reassured him that no, they didn’t; I don’t think it was the same person. Two thefts in two months is not a good track record.

On Wed, my apartment was broken into. Amongst the things stolen were a laptop and my only monitor. Do not expect timely replies on emails, and feel free to NMU packages. I probably won’t make UBZ because of this, as it doesn’t really make much sense to go without a laptop…

8th Ave at 3am is a pretty scary place. Port Authority had closed the subway entrance, so after my bus got into NYC, I had to find another way in. Naturally, I wandered the wrong way, but I found an entrance after a while. On the way out of NYC (last Wed), I had some time to kill before my bus left, so I wandered around a bit. I wanted to check my mail, so I stopped into a Starbucks figuring they’d have an open access point. I’m not sure whether theirs was amongst the 8 or so active networks that showed up when I scanned. The strongest signal came from an AP with an ESSID of “Porn Palace”, so that’s the one I used. I assume it was one of the fine establishments operating across the street, selling various adult toys and videos. Ooh, almost 5am already. Tomorrow’s going to be fun.

My apologies if I haven’t responded to emails within the past few days, I’ve been busy puking.

While staring into the face of Jesus, Galeon crashed twice. It’s a sign, I tell ya.
