So, I've noticed some serious lag in my linux desktop. I tried googling, replacing the drivers. I was even offered the brilliant suggestion to stop using anything graphically intensive (Thanks William).

However, the odd thing I found out is that when firefox is running, it's all running like shit.

So, I'm switching ™ over to chrome. I'm composing this in chrome even.

The only real complaint I have with chrome is there's no version of noscript for it.

I did find an extension that allows you to add a javascript blacklist and I rewrote it to do a javascript whitelist, but it's only so good. It only catches blocks of the html that it identified by SCRIPT

I need to keep digging.

I know it's been a while since my last post. To sum it up, I've spent most of that time in world of warcraft and working.

I went to a "new to me" hackerspace last night. It was pretty interesting. The subject comes from an offer from one of the guys to make a frame for a 3d printer one of the other guys had brought in.

I really think my ex-coworker would love it. I need to get the information to him. I'd like to hang out there if I can find the time and a niche to fill.

Just got back from a week at disney world. I had a blast.

The problem with rarely updating your "blog" is that when you finally want to say something, it just seems unbalanced as you didn't mention the zillion other things that were just as if not more important.

Bad Maxie

So I'm up watching bunnytown (which has to be one of the worst web sites ever: flash/all 3rd party/JS) The boy decided that 4am was a perfect time to be wide awake and watch some of his favorite show.


I'm getting tired of this. I have no idea how long it's been since I've slept 8 hours straight. I can tell you it was before he was born though. Even at defcon I had jetlag, though that was still the best sleep I've had in ages.

I've always said my favorite things in life were: sleep, sex and movies. It's amazing how a baby can cut out all three.

so I'm here for my first defcon. This city is insane....in a bad way. It's lit up 24/7 flooded with buffets, gluttony and waste. This city reminds me of a large number of it's residents. Old prostitutes trying to hold on. Keep putting on the make up and perhaps no one can see you're dying

This kind of non sequitur makes life worth living.

I signed up for cacert the other day and have been using them from everything to securing my mail and site, to making keys for my socat sessions. (Ok not really, but you get the idea).

If you're getting an error on this site you need to import the root key. You can find it here

Just as a follow up, I checked out outerz0ne this weekend. I went on Saturday and had a good time. Acidus's talk on javascript hacking was really interesting and I've sat down to learn more of it that I previously knew. It was, of course, great to get back in touch with a lot of my friends from the 2600 scene.

So I got the girls up to watch the lunar eclipse and we all headed outside. It was pretty cloudy at first, but we managed to see it well enough that the girls got the idea. Rhiannon said it was "long". Isadora said that the moon turned brown. I guess I would have liked more :)

Our neighbor had set up his telescope and allowed the girls to look through it. At one point he turned it on Saturn so we could all have a look. I've never seen it before. In fact, I've never seen any astronomical body other than the earth, sun and moon with my own eye (assisted or no). I was really impressed. I mean it was a little dot, but I could definitely make out the rings.

I have to confess, they make some good points

In this case it seems so. I hadn't heard much about the artic ice of late and with some of the record cold spots around the world, I was wondering how it was doing.

It seems to have rebounded quite nicely.



Now, I don't want to jump the gun here. We expect ice to come back and the fact that it went so low during the summer is....bad....

It means that the ice that is there isn't as thick and is likely to be easier to melt.

Many people view global warming as just the summer, but that's not how it works. The overall temperature is going up. That isn't to say we won't have cold winters here and there...

Happy 9th Birthday Rhiannon!!!
