Insomnia Redux (Or my Excuse to Post my Vim Init)

I can’t sleep and can’t think of anything good to blog about, so I’m going to throw up my Vim startup script. This is what works for me, and I’m using it with gvim as well as a slightly modified version for vim. Without further ado, the startup script that makes the world’s best text editor even more useful to me:

colors desert
syntax on
set gfn=PragmataPro:h12,Arial\ Unicode\ MS:h12
set backspace=2
set shm+=I
set ls=2
set ruler

"UTF-8 Shizzle
if has("multi_byte")
  if &termencoding == ""
    let &termencoding = &encoding
  endif
  set encoding=utf-8
  setglobal fileencoding=utf-8
  "setglobal bomb
  set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,latin1
endif

"Begin custom function for search
highlight found gui=undercurl guibg=#121212 guifg=#6458f0 guisp=#6767ff

function Supafind()
  let farg = input("Search Regex: ")
  call matchadd("found",farg)
  echo ""
endfunction

map <F2> :call Supafind()<CR>
map <F3> :call clearmatches()<CR>:echo "Cleared Matches"<CR>

Jekyll and Youtube Embedding

When I first began using Jekyll, I noticed that throwing in a Youtube embedded video made it go apeshit. I Googled for a bit to discover that Maruku wasn’t happy with HTML, and was taking any and all HTML and interpreting it to XHTML. Youtube doesn’t provide “Embed” data in XHTML format. Here is an example of a typical Youtube embed:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ" 
        frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

That’s taken verbatim from Youtube. There are two problems here. First, XHTML doesn’t like lone attributes. The allowfullscreen attribute has to be changed to allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" to be usable. If you even use it. I’ve heard reports of people embedding videos without it at all. Second, Jekyll devs openly admit Jekyll swallows empty end tags. Thankfully, their admission gleans a helpful hint in fixing it. Simply insert a space between <iframe> and </iframe>. The end result is as such:

Jekyll (Bootstrap) is for Everyone

If you’ve seen a good number of Jekyll blogs and find yourself pretty jealous, there really aren’t any excuses anymore. Jekyll Bootstrap literally removes all difficulty from using Jekyll. It’s basically a layer over Jekyll that has built in support for theming, post creation, and more. With Jekyll Bootstrap, you really need to know very little of the command line. If you have a favorite theme that’s Jekyll based, chances are that user has made it available on the internet via Github. Hurry up and check it out.

The Devil’s (Infosec) Dictionary

Foreward: No one was spared, not even the children. Word after word of cruel truth, sputtered forth in ironic tone, not attempting to be humorous but might earn a chortle or two. I bring you, “The Devil’s (Infosec) Dictionary”.

Anonymous /əˈnänəməs/
(1.) Noun Group of “hacktivists” puppeted by CIA.

Antisec /ˈantēsək/
(1.) Noun Digital Anarchists, modern internet mafia. Similar to Democratic Party. Funded at least partially by the CIA, but normally chased by FBI.

Work Work Work

Just writing this to keep up appearances. I don’t really have anything new or interesting to add. I suppose the Trayvon Martin saga will be interesting to watch as it unfolds, I just hope people don’t treat the expert analysis like a fucking referee making a call. If an expert makes a determination, just go with it. Don’t yell and scream that the determination is wrong just because you don’t agree with the end result. That’s what retards do. Instead, learn to accept reality for what it is, rather than sticking your head in the sand whenever something becomes uncomfortable.

Trayvon Martin 911 Calls

I really don’t have much to say about this. Whether Trayvon Martin was an aggressive little prick of a punk kid or the sweetest kid you could ever meet has no relevance to what these 911 calls relay. This definitely warrants further investigation, whether it’s racially motivated or not.

George Zimmerman 911 Call

Neighbor 911 Call #1

Neighbor 911 Call #2
You can hear Martin screaming in the background and a presumably fatal shot fired.

Jennifer Emick: DDoS for FBI!

The thing I find most humorous about Sabu’s IP being discovered is that I have this gut feeling that I know exactly how it happened. Sabu, being at least a somewhat arrogant prick, had no qualm with hanging out everywhere and anywhere on IRC. I also know he was speaking to Emick quite often, and had even had discussions with her before getting his July visit from the feds. On to my suspicion.
