I run my own servers on the internet and I like being able to do as much with them as I can. I run web servers, email, DNS, IRC, forums, remailer, nymserver, streaming audio! torrent trackers! Oh My! Needless to say, the shit would hit the fan around here if my internet service provider started blocking me from doing what I do with my internet connection. Some ISP’s have already begun to do so.

Well, Obama was the only candidate on board with my concerns so he won my vote easily . Today I am feeling a bit reassured that I made the right decision. Obama started a new way for the government to keep in touch with us, change.gov. Within two days of the election Obama’s transition team laid out his science and technology agenda. I must admit, I am somewhat impressed. :)

At a speech at google headquarters Obama raised the issue.

rm -f "$i.wav"
mkfifo "$i.wav"
mplayer -quiet -vo null -vc dummy -af volume=0,resample=44100:0:1 -ao pcm:waveheader:file="$i.wav" "$i" &

If you don’t know what irc is or irssi or blowjob.pl do not waste your time trying to understand this. Move along.. Don’t Waste your time.

apt-get install irssi irssi-scripts

Try to load blowjob in irssi

/load blowjob.pl

poop, im missing something.


11:06 ,--[ScriptAssist]
11:06 | The perl module Crypt::CBC is missing on your system.
11:06 | Please ask your administrator about it.
11:06 | You can also check CPAN via '/scriptassist cpan Crypt::CBC'.
11:06 `--->

Guessing I need libcrypt-cbc-perl and im thinking, libcrypt-blowfish-perl

apt-get install libcrypt-cbc-perl libcrypt-blowfish-perl

Next load blowfish in irssi

/load blowjob.pl

Loaded :)

Set a test key with someone your irc’ing with, and blow something.

/setkey foobar
/blow yo testing
“Ciphertext does not begin with a valid header for ’salt’

Shit still not working! Seems the script is old. It needed to be updated for the newer Crypt:CBC. I changed a couple lines and came up with this fixed blowjob.pl

Working now!

The Steamboat Hills Country Club has been open a little while and I have been able to play a couple dozen games there already. Many flowers, birds & neighborhood pets have returned. If you like technical golfing with some serious rough and water hazards Steamboat Hills is the place to spend your time, however when you need a change of pace the Hidden Gulch course is now open as well. I’m not really sure why they call it “Hidden Gulch” since it is on a beautiful ridge with some breathless views of the Yampa valley area. It is a more open spaced course with some very long par fives that may leave you cursing the wind in your face but it give you a sense of accomplishment if you shoot even close to a par game. Hidden Gulch is also the only course in the world where you can bring your own golf cart along, so last time I drove the convertible.Hidden Gulch Golf Cart
Peace Through Wiff!
