Anaglyphs

bruceo's 3D anaglyphs jump right out of the laptop screen for me, even using a cheapo pair of McDonald's SpyKids 3D glasses that don't match the colors very well.

BruceO seems to be associating with people that sort of look like him—I wonder if I'm doing the same?

Another day of Stanford Open volunteering...

...two more Mystic Pixies performances.

You don't talk like a pirate

This CNN news story, "U.S. destroyer chases down suspected pirate ship," reminded me of an article about modern-day piracy in the New Yorker a few years ago (I think it was the New Yorker). Even if someone catches pirates after they've taken over some ship, authorities often have trouble sorting out the pirates from the victims. Everyone is suddenly a victim once a pirated boat has been stopped.

The dhow's crew and passengers were being questioned Sunday aboard the Churchill to determine which were pirates and which were legitimate crew members, Hull-Ryde said.

I guess pirates don't dress the way they used to. It wouldn't be too hard to identify people with skulll and crossbone tattoos or colorful birds on their shoulders. Maybe they should visit the store on Valencia street?

awstats attack

I just noticed text fragments such as 'su root', 'chmod', and 'exec' hiding inside cgi-bin requests in the plambeck.org 404 logs.

I think it's this automated attack on a web log analysis tool I used to use. [ I actually still use it, but I changed it around about 18 months ago, and as a result this attack fails—not that I made the changes to stop such attacks...just lucky I guess. ]
