I am a hacker and you are afraid and that makes you more dangerous than I ever could be.

Topic: Current Events 1:18 pm EDT, Jul 16, 2007

Any press release that contains a reference to an escort service is a good press release! You'll see what I mean soon.


YouTube - Afterworld Episode 1 - The Big Day
Topic: Miscellaneous 12:38 pm EDT, Jul 16, 2007

Episode 1 Summary: Russell Shoemaker wakes up in a New York hotel room the morning after a catastrophic phenomenon wipes out technology and all signs of life. And then the rains begin...

Run down 41 flights of stairs with a laptop and you gain a new appreciation for elevators.

It made no sense. A big, 4 star hotel and not a soul in sight.

If you haven't seen Afterworld you are missing out. Very cool; watching the episodes I'm reminded of Day of The Triffids

Tokenizers/Parsers
Topic: Technology 4:32 pm EDT, Jul  5, 2007

Literals are a pain to tokenize, especially when the literal can start with a valid math operator. I'm looking at you JavaScript Regex Literal and signed integer literals! You broke my code.

var x = /123/;
var y =5 /2;
z(5,+54.1, -13);

This is where you can blur the line between what the tokenizer should do and what the parser does. Going the wrong way makes things bad. Like, crashing bad.

Finding 0day in something major is the awesome. Waiting for the vendor is the suck.
