But Pappy, they's integrated!

No matter how many times I watch this scene it doesn’t get old. The way Pappy O’Daniel and Junior look in opposite directions… reminds me of The Big Lebowski!

Eircom DSL Routers Security Flaw

A post on Irish Linux Users’ Group awhile ago linked to this boards.ie thread about a major weakness in the way the default WEP key for your Netopia is generated. The WEP key is formed from the serial number of the router and some Jimi Hendrix lyrics. That’s fair enough you might think, [...]

I always had similar feelings about advertising on blogs… I don’t have a problem with other people who do it, but I never would have considered [...]

Rebooting the Airplane

New York to Shannon: after a series of miserable flights with the disastrous Delta, my luck had finally changed. No matter how many times I checked my boarding pass and the seat number, and the boarding pass, and the seat number, it remained the same: Seat 3A. I thought back to the check-in [...]
