Still waiting

So, here I sit, waiting for them to ship my router that was supposed to have been in my hands a week ago.


Coughlins Law #1

Coughlin’s law: never tell tales about a woman no matter how far away she is, she’ll always hear you.


Bah

Well, being that we’re both as sick as a dog today, maybe its a good thing that we didn’t end up going to the beach.


Day off

Decided to take the day off and eat up some the hours I have banked up for days like this. 31 degrees and headed to the beach when Jenn gets home, but as soon as my laptop is fully charged, its off to upper moncton to hunt some more wifi networks.

Even more warbiking

Finally got around to adding Riverview to the list, I think I’ll get upper Moncton early next week, maybe tomorrow if I get time before Jenn gets back from school.


Why you little..

So, not that I don’t like car audio, but when I order a linksys router off ebay, I don’t generally expect to get a subwoofer in the mail.
Luckily the guy is going to accept a COD return to get it back to him, there was no way in hell I was paying shipping, and looks like I end up getting my router a few days later then I expected.


meh

Man, waiting for more posts from Dan Brennan is like waiting for a cab… hah, speaking of cabs.. HI DAN.


More wardriving

More warbiking the past few days, got a lot down in riverview, lower coverdale, and bridgedale. Also decided to go up to uppercoverdale, and circle back down through salisibury and then up to the highway and back down. Passed through the riverbend area while I was down there.
Anywho, check out the map, I’ve only uploaded the Moncton/Dieppe ones, I don’t want the map to get so large that you cant identify the area its for.


KITT: For Sale

KITT (Knight Industry Two Thousand), from the 1980s TV series Knight Rider, is up for auction on eBay. Apparently this was one of the tricked-out 1983 Trans Ams actually used in the show:
82021.jpg “After being released from its film duties, KITT found its way into the show circuit by promoting many Budweiser World of Wheels car shows for a number of years. After its tour of duty, the car was in need of restoration and in 2001 the owner approached Mark Scrivani of Mark’s Custom Kits to restore the vehicle. The original, futuristic dash built by universal would only illuminate and was not intended to be functional; the owner commissioned Scrivani to make the dash fully functional, thus, the various non-functioning consoles were removed, cleaned up and made functional with pushable buttons, sound and visual effects. The dash received fully operational gauges and instruments, as well as an in-car camera tied into one of the two dash-mounted LCD monitors. The other monitor is wired into a trunk-mounted VCR for running and viewing tapes for future car show use. The original scanner mounted in the front of the vehicle was restored and functions properly. The scanner sound effect is also added to external speakers so it can be heard while the scanner is running. Besides the original Universal registration, the car comes with the original stamped steel “KNIGHT” license plate…”


Let the games begin..

Dude, this stuff is sorta cool, I knew they were freaks 🙂
Speaking of freaks, here’s some old school bbs info for you.


bike bike bike bike

Just got back at 11 from biking down to Fundy. My knees are fine, tired as shit, but don’t hurt. The Ol’ arthritus is playing nice today. Got a crapload of wifi networks from down riverview way, and down through the country, I’ll post them later, right now I’m dead ass tired, so G’nite.


4 foot drops = bad

heh, 4 foot drop = blown tire/trip to bungays


This will seem quaint 10 years from now

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get the weather from a poorly synthesized computer-generated voice?
Well, now you can. Call 1-888-573-8255 and ask Jupiter what the weather is like, or will be like, for nearly any city you want.

A Million Dollar Idea

A while back, Gillette released the M3Power Razor, a motorized razor based on their fan-favorite Mach 3. I’d seen a TV show a while back explaining how to optimize the shaving razor, and it explained one key element to optimal shaving that’s still missing: motion. Though Gilette had blown through a billion bucks on the product line thus far, it seemed a glaring oversight.
But no longer. They’ve got millions of razors deployed, all motorized , and the AAA battery is included. (Why just give charge for the blades when you can charge for the blades and batteries?) You know where I’m going with this, though. There’s a huge market for plausible deniability vibrators here. Just add an alternate tip that plugs into the razor end, or a cover for the blunt end, and voila. Shy people, or travellers, or those who live in states where such masturbatory paraphernalia are prohibited, would be liberated from their sexual oppression.
I figure you could sell the “massager” tips for the Mach 3 for about five bucks. If you make a million dollars, buy me something nice.


The PaulFirlote.com World

So yeah, found this site that reminds of people like PaulFirlotte.com. Only people like him could enjoy gadgets like this 🙂


Duff Calling

Sure it looks just like just another promotional site for a movie, but then you realize that you can send phone messages from Hillary Duff. And sure, that seems lame at first but these are personalized messages that involve names and characteristics like “braces” or “big head.” It really CAN be very amusing.


Warbiking

This is a map of some of Monctons available wifi networks, I biked around with the gps and laptop for a few hours tonight. I took a much longer route and found 40+ more networks on the way up, but I didn’t have the gps hooked up. I’ll update the map later when I get back to them, there were some very interesting ones I wanted to spend more time with 🙂
red = wep encrypted network, green = open
The larger the circle, the stronger the signal.

This week in review..

wd.gif
pretty much sums it all up, any questions?


So.. for those who care

4 inchs off my waistline, yeah baby.
Some people say ‘you dont need to loose weight’ I say ‘hell yeah I do’. Well, I did, 10 more lbs and I’ll be good, I”m going to go 5 more days with the induction phase, then call it done, and move on to phase 2 and give myself some more carbs, glorious carbs.


And the weightloss continues..

So another 5 lbs gone in a matter of 2-3 days. yay. I’m 6’4 with a lot of musscle on my legs and back/neck, so my aim is for 195, what I was back in highschool when I was racing, I figure I’ll be good at that. Not bad for coming down from 245 to my present 208. This Atkins thing mignt work out after all.
I feel accomplished because I can fit into old t-shirts I have that used to be skin tight, now they just look like normal loose shirts. Almost time to go shopping i’d guess! all my pants fall off of me, and I have to constantly use a belt for most of them. This shit feels wicked!


Chicken!

Man, I ate a family sized chicken last night, yay to Atkins. Hah.
I’m down another 5lbs so far this week, 15 lbs in total for the past 2, just one more week to go and then I can start phase 2. Which means 10-ish more grams of carbs


Crapping with a laptop on your knees..

Gotta say. Nothing beats crapping while using a pc. Now for all those time when I really shouldnt have a pc.. I have one.
Yay to modern technology and wifi.


Steve.. you’re fucked dude.

Like the Jennifer said, screw chopsticks, this is my 1st song to learn on a piano.
