In lieu of a real post…

Ask me anything and I’ll answer.

Yeah, I know. It’s like LiveJournal in here today.

  4. Timmeeee -

    42.

    Steve -

    I have multiples of both Glocks and 1911s and frankly, they’ve all become safe queens. I shoot and carry my Hi-Power and CZ 85 Combat.

    And I do use a Mac; I’m typing this comment on my Dual G5 tower. The laptop is a Thinkpad with Ubuntu Linux and the server is a Sun Blade with OpenBSD. The work machines are generic pee-cees with Windows XP. I like to keep current on a pretty wide variety of systems.

    So we can breathe, silly.

    Roberta -

    I wouldn’t know, cooking is women’s work :-P

  10. What was the name of the friendly Sleestak in “Land of the Lost”?

    How many noodly appendages can quiver on the head of a pin?

    Why do windshield wiper blades wipe to the left? You would think they would wipe the other way, instead of squeegeeing all the water off the windscreen and around the car via the driver’s side window. Because if this, I can’t drive with my window cracked just a tad while it rains. I know that one could make an argument that the passenger’s side window is harder to roll up while driving, but everything seems to come with power windows nowadays.

    How do I write a simple shell script to dd an unmounted partition, compress it, encrypt it, and upload it to Amazon’s S3 cloud? Why isn’t a feature like this already on a “live” linux recovery disk? (Ok, I’m kidding on this last one. I’ll figure it out myself.)

  11. Dunno.

    Dunno.

    Dunno.

    You’re gonna need dd, gzip/compress/etc, gpg, and wget or curl. Here, this will get you started:

    #!/bin/bash
