Trying to beat back the hackers, put out fires, keep up with all the latest technology and somehow be clever about it. I will post when I feel I can add something clever, interesting or helpful to a general audience. I enjoy other things, like Minecraft, The Long Dark, sketching with pencil, ink drawings, reading science fiction and movies.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05605627503124435312noreply@blogger.comBlogger41125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216062754086174628.post-58463765848831207952015-07-18T05:01:00.002-07:002015-07-18T05:03:04.900-07:00FBI rises to the challenge and nets a big fishThis post is regarding an NPR article <a href="https://www.blogger.com/Via%20@nprnews:%20Malware%20And%20Hacking%20Forum%20Darkode%20Is%20Shut%20Down;%20Dozens%20Arrested%20http://n.pr/1Odoi1m" target="_blank">Malware And Hacking Forum Darkode Is Shut Down; Dozens Arrested http://n.pr/1Odoi1m</a>.<br />

Hacking groups have evolved over the years. Most recently they have a shape and feel like organized crime syndicates. This new shape and feel governs their inner workings such as tiered management, financial incentives and secretive missions. You have to know someone and prove yourself to join. Membership is closely guarded by enforcers.<br />
<br />
In this particular case, the FBI had quite a challenge before them. Working with other countries is not small among those challenges. That takes a level of cooperation beyond even seasoned investigators.<br />
<br />
Police work ranged from the usual infiltration/sting operation to forensic analysis of a massive botnet. The latter being no small task.<br />
<br />
To avoid being taken advantage of by these malicious parties, users are encouraged to do the usual things: keep your system up to date, avoid suspicious banking practices and alert authorities to unusual personal offers and behavior. Avoid contact and business with international organizations that you cannot fully vet.<br />
<br />
Excellent work by the FBI.<br />

<br />
Denver Broncos because I'm liking them this season.<br />
<br />
Don't much care for Kansas City Chiefs but they've got this game.<br />
<br />
Seattle Seahawks for sure.<br />
<br />
Indianapolis Colts - I'm also liking.<br />
<br />
Detroit Lions - easy.<br />
Pittsburgh Steelers - easy also.<br />
<br />
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - I like the Jets, but not this season.<br />
<br />
New Orleans Saints - torn on this one, but gotta go with NO.<br />
<br />
Cleveland Browns - boo Dolphins anyway.<br />
<br />
Chicago Bears - not an easy one. I'm 50/50 mostly, but I think the Bears will do it.<br />
<br />
New England Patriots for sure.<br />
<br />
San Francisco 49ers - gut says NE, but I think 49ers will have a good season, including this game.<br />
<br />
St. Louis Rams - easy.<br />
<br />
Dallas Cowboys - both the heart and head agree on this one.<br />
<br />
Washington Redskins - not 100% on this one either.<br />
<br />
Houston Texans - Chargers will do well, but not this game.<br />
<br />

I'm told I have no butt, but really? Never a good pair of jeans? However, I still wear them all the time.
My other pet peeve in regard to jeans is how they tear. They always tear the same place no matter the brand or quality. It is always the belt loops. Perhaps this is related to my problem in the previous paragraph?
Why can't we make the perfect pair of jeans? According to the <a href="http://ushistpatton2012.pbworks.com/f/The+History+of+Jeans+pt2.htm">"History of Jeans"</a> this was the original idea: a cloth that resists tearing.
Were jeans made better in the past?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05605627503124435312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216062754086174628.post-74630356023262387612011-08-30T09:10:00.000-07:002011-08-30T09:10:09.155-07:00Killing Run-away Process on My MACMy battery power was being drained quickly. After unplugging my laptop and walking across campus my battery left was less than 2 hours. Very odd for my macbook pro.<br />
<br />
I dropped to a Terminal window and found the following really helped.<br />
<br />
<pre> top -o cpu -O +rsize -s 5 -n 20
</pre><br />
Whatever process floated to the top I killed. The first was an old wine process that should have already been gone. Another was a screen process that I was using to open a com port for configuring a wireless router. Neither were needed and killing both immediately helped.<br />

<blockquote>Pocket notebooks were part of the arsenal of a long list of great men from Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Edison (we’re working on an in-depth post of how these men used their notebooks for the future). The repositories of eminent men’s personal effects nearly always includes a pocket notebook full of their ideas and musings.<br />

1/2 small onion chopped<br />
2 jalapenos chopped<br />
- some seeds do make it in :)<br />
1 can Red Gold Premium Tomatoes Diced 14.5 oz<br />
3 Tablespoons or so of fresh chopped cilantro<br />
4 teaspoons of minced garlic<br />
1/2 lemon squeezed and some pulp removed for the salsa<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredient in a bowl. I used gloves for the peppers.<br />
<br />
Transfer to a blender and puree for about 10 seconds.<br />
<br />
Result: Mild, with some kick, lots of flavor, bit watery. Tasted like what I get at good Tex-Mex restaurants.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05605627503124435312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216062754086174628.post-88925476704920691932010-09-21T08:45:00.000-07:002010-09-21T08:45:18.696-07:00Field Notes Pencil Reviewwhen I order from <a href="http://fieldnotesbrand.com/">Field Notes</a> they always include a few extras.

<br />
I mean from a practical day 1 perspective. Did the CEO authorize the purchase of <a href="http://www.nissanusa.com/leaf-electric-car/index#/leaf-electric-car/index">Leaf</a>s (or is it Leaves when referring to the car?) for the company fleet replacement? Did the company toss all the printers out and go PDF for all interoffice correspondance?<br />
<br />
I am calling for a measuring stick to be wielded when a company says: We are going green!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05605627503124435312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216062754086174628.post-65464975509029163992010-08-10T11:58:00.000-07:002010-08-10T11:58:03.564-07:00Writer's Block: Try These Ideas<a href="http://www.writing.upenn.edu/library/Mayer-Bernadette_Experiments.html">Bernadette Mayer's List of Journal Ideas</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05605627503124435312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216062754086174628.post-43288716834656153812010-08-10T10:49:00.001-07:002010-08-10T11:58:52.991-07:00Review: Access Data Forensic Toolkit (FTK) Version 3 ‹ Part 1<a href="http://blogs.sans.org/computer-forensics/2010/08/09/review-access-data-foren
