Per tradition… After a nine month parenting hiatus, I’ve managed to wrap up Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. Bonus points awarded to the developer who was tasked with reddening up the final boss’s hair in the final fight cut-scenes to keep it distinguished from the fire sky… That bright red flame mullet doesn’t look ridiculous. At all. I have an urge to take on Majora’s Mask, but estimate that the game would take me approximately three years to beat at my current clip. Might have to wait for the WiiU Zelda title to drop, and hope Emma likes watching Zelda more than the Disney Channel.

I’ve wanted to play around with Adafruit’s Occidental distro since it was announced. The whole gist of the release is that it better caters to the hack-y types…they have taken Wheezy and built in some utilities. Especially cool is Bonjour, which *should* allow ssh access from my other networked machines. Still getting to that point, but I have installed the thing for experimentation. Thus far I have been poking around…my small assistant did some stress testing… I have some battery packs in the mail, and I need to configure my WiFi dongle. The idea is to let the machine run headless, and see what I can stand up with Python. I need to play around with the pinouts a bit and come up with some ideas. I could bring Clocky back from the dead…we’ll see what shakes out.

It looks like the script kiddies are back in class. I’d recommend taking a look at http://www.college-paper.org/, in order to figure out how to better “zero day” a site The infiltration consisted of two scripts placed onto my index.php. Named…you may have guessed…[some stuff]zero-day[some more stuff] Well played.

Only one of us knows that the Cubs are fighting to keep from losing one hundred games this season… …go Cubs

Pretty self explanatory.

I have a strong suspicion that all of this shit will fade away. A webpage about a website, made for posting things about website posts. Really neat. Anyhow, some idiots who sell ads have this as a checkbox of sorts. Having facebook, G+, and Twitter integrations is important, for some reason. I don’t know…let me blog and get off my lawn. swantron.com/twswantron.com/fbswantron.com/+The Twitter link is my personal feed, which is basically an occasional link to a post (on this goddamned site.) The other two are unused, and shall likely remain that way. Happy interneting.

New office.. …same old tricks

Blow the dust of the multimeter…project time… Mission: resurrect an electronic stapler from the dead. You have to start somewhere.

Now with 100% more sod…

Unfortunately, I ordered and slapped down 6500 ft^2, which was short by 15%. Project status: ongoing.

I mean listen, we’re sitting here talking about practice. Not a game. Not a game. Not a game, but we’re talking about practice.
