When Dreamcasts attack [The Register] This could get me in trouble at work - the article is about hackers working up a Dreamcast with a Linux bootdisk and plugging it into corporate networks to attack from the inside. Of course, what do I have sitting on my desk, hooked up to a spare Sun monitor? A Dreamcast. It was my present for myself in exchange for quitting smoking - if I wasn't going to get cigarette breaks every hour or two, I could have Soul Calibur. Worked out well, really. But now someone might see the Dreamcast and freak out. Dammit.

Net2Phone, Cisco settle deception case. Poacher's Pie [The Register] Hey - this stuff is kind of related to things I work on! Sort of!  Or not at all! Ok, it's a little tangential, but it's close. I find it interesting.

I finally talked to my missing friend Rachel yesterday. She drove to New Mexico from Rochester NY with her mom, and just in the last couple days (she's been there about a week or so) has she even had a phone line. She's in a no-service area for her cellphone, they don't have long distance active yet, the nearest bookstore is something like 90 miles away...how can people live like that? Seriously - I can't imagine being that isolated from civilization. Disturbing. I had a fingernail break off two days ago - not the whole thing, just the tip. But it's somehow managed to get infected or something - it feels like my ingrown toenail did. I catch no breaks at all - it hurts a LOT to type right now, which is why I've barely posted. Gotta get my ass in gear...
