Posting a screenshot of your desktop is the cool thing for geeks to do apparently.
It’s Ubuntu 8.10, no big surprise there. I’m using the “Dusk” theme with the proposed background for the next Ubuntu. I really like it.
The weekend I Kayaked to Anclote Key. Here is a picture of us unloading our Kayaks! (Not me in the picture)
We Kayaked 4 hours to the north end of Anclote Key. Here the the google maps link.
We camped overnight on the night of Valentines day. How romantic right?
And here is Cody inside the tent looking cutsy:
And if you have Google Earth, here is a link to a path I made of the trip: anclote-key-trip And if you want to use Google Maps, here is a link to the arial photo.
I suppose I come from a… short line of engineers. My father used to work for Paradyne which was gobbled up by At&t, and is now owned by Zhone.
But back in the day they worked on “Terminals”. You know, back when “Computers” has a gazillion serial ports and the “Terminal” was the box that had a monitor and keyboard which parsed the 300baud green text? Yea neither do I…
A couple of years ago, a large list of phished Myspace accounts was leaked on the internet. I stumpled upon them and ran a very simple analysis. Check it out:
root@a:/# cat myspace.hackedlist | cut -f 2 -d : | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -n 20 14 qwerty1 15 123456a 15 babygirl1 15 blink182 16 123456 16 123abc 16 iloveyou2 17 football1 17 nicole1 18 number1 19 password 23 myspace1 24 fuckyou1 28 iloveyou1 28 monkey1 29 fuckyou 54 abc123 74 password1 The file was in the form of “Username:password”, so the first part of that command “cuts” the second column, with the colon as the delimiter.
Take a look at some wireless keys that I’ve collected from some Verizon FiOS installs around Tampa:

What you are looking at here is MAC, SSID, Channel, Encryption, Key.
Notice that they are all WEP, 64bit, with 5 Alpha numeric SSID’s.
I want to emphasize that these are the defaults, and only geeks, nerds and the like change the defaults.
Often I get to enjoy wonderful mornings with my girlfriend Cody. She is a great cook, and one of her best concoctions are these AMAZING breakfast burritos:
Sorry for the bad picture, I took it with the webcam on my eeepc. I don’t apologize for her cleavage. I did that intentionally without her knowing :)
Today was our trip back to Tampa, so we saw a show:
Crowd Control?
I’m sure this family had fun. I wonder what the personality is like of whoever made the door decorations:
Today Cody and I visited the beautiful Grand Cayman:
Myspace shot:
And for the geek in everyone, hacked someone’s WEP key and used their wireless while on the land. The ip I used was 63.136.113.229 which is hosted by Cable and Wireless. Here is an MTR to it:
Yea..maybe not so interesting to others. Our shore excursions to go snorkeling with sting rays got canceled because of the weather….
Cody and I took started off our cruise in Tampa on Monday, Dec 15:
Beautiful! Here is look at the Bow (We were on the Carnival Inspiration):
And the cool Radars!
