Sleepless, tired, sleepless, tired. I think I’ve managed to smash those words together rather well with my currently screwed up schedule. Alternating between the two is making me rather… Irritable. I’m unable to make good use of the time I’m capable of finding, mostly because I’m too exhausted just as soon as it floats my way.

Blogging aids and abets what little sanity that’s able to manage the minefield that is my brain. Cognition beyond the simplest thoughts- No, rarely may I ascend beyond my own plane. Instead, I’m forced to watch all manner of pig smash words together in faux-English and pretend he’s a higher order animal. Twitter is the favorite, these days, of such swine. Trolls, they like to call themselves. They pretend they know things about social engineering. Condemning works does not equate to engineering. Engineering requires thought, requires building things. Not burning bridges. Yet these condescending assholes burn bridges, taunt, provoke, and when all else fails they flail their arms and scream loudly, “Victim! I’m being victimized! People are harassing me and my children!” No.

Not sure what this is. @cloudflaresys tweeted about a “small attack” about the same time this information was logged. Not sure if it was explicitly directed at me or what. Still funny, though. Would be interesting to see if they’re able to dump raw logs.

In any case, thought it was a humorous anecdote.

I’m full of piss and vinegar today. I’m ready to bust some heads and kick some ass. The summer of truly living life has finally gone full swing. My employer needs to back the hell off of me a bit, but other than that I won’t complain too much. I won’t jinx myself to say that things are going “well”, but they certainly aren’t as dismal as they’ve appeared to be in the past.

When I attempt to connect to my Spotify account after establishing a VPN connection, it complains that my IP address doesn’t match my country of origin listed on my Spotify account. This is incredibly irritating. I shouldn’t have to choose between covering my ass and listening to music. The solution is easy, though. Still slightly irritating, but completely functional.

1. Ensure VPN is off and you’re connecting from your home IP.
2. Sign in to Spotify.
3. Establish your VPN connection.
4. ????
5. PROFIT.

Pretty simple. When I took those steps it didn’t even interrupt playback, but I started getting Swedish advertisements. Handy trick. As far as I can tell, the established connection retains all original functionality.

I’ve watched “#prosec” and “Anonymous”, and all the douchebags in between, from a distance. It’s hilarious. Having formerly kept up to date with these people, I can tell you that it’s entirely similar watching from afar as it is being involved with communication. It’s all drama. Relentless, redundant, retarded drama. “OMG YOU PICKED A FIGHT WITH SOMEONE I LIKE SO I’M GONNA HACK EVERY MACHINE YOU HAVE BECAUSE I DONT LIEK U”. It’s kindergarten, sans kindergarten teacher. The breakdown is just as hilarious.

We take time out of our regularly scheduled programming to denounce and detract from all the bloggers out there who are using Wordpress. Get a real CMS. It’s not that hard, kids. If you have anything worth saying, you might as well deliver your message properly, you lazy pieces of shit. No one cares much about what you have to say when you’re using the livejournal of the blogging world.

Good job, kids. You’ve negated your message entirely via it’s very own delivery method.

I have business to tend to. Things are coming at me rapidly, and I’m already overburdened with tasks and no time in which to deal with them. Ditching this blog, facebook, and the internet on the whole, is pretty much all I can do to squeeze the little time I have and make it work for me. So that’s what I’ll be doing. Can’t keep it up forever, sometimes life just gets in the way of hobbies. It happens.

Hey losers, you going? Have you even been to any sort of concert or festival? No, the local Renaissance Festival doesn’t count, you faggot.

Man, people accuse me of not having a life, and yet the only breaks they get from IRC or twitter are 12 hour windows they fill with sleep. Infosec seems filled to the brim with losers who bitch, gripe, “troll”, and basically use the infosec community as a vent to relieve the pressure of having no real life to tend to. Congratulations, you have an e-girlfriend. Or some nasty bitch you used to work with at 7-11. Or some husband who has no idea what you actually do online (which really doesn’t constitute much). I have a life outside the internet, something you retards ought to “research” more.
