General Discussion / Newby's Future
« on: March 22, 2008, 03:37:10 am »
Lazy Internet Troll Looking for Better Internet Job (nob hill)
I chat all day long on the underground hacker chats including _SILC_ AND _IRCS_ ones, not just public IRC servers. Therefore I KNOW ALL THE HACKERS. When it comes 2 the streets of the internet underground I have my ear 2 the ground.
i never use a spell checker, and i send terribly formatted work emails often with numbers used for letters and words.
I'm basically extremely lazy and I scope projects that take 4 hours of real work time for about 1-2 weeks since thats how long it takes to bring myself to work on whatever stupid project I'm assigned. I've been mudding against recently, I have to get the good eq. drops.

I work marginally well on teams. I dont have a problem with authority, I just dont view them as being authoritative. I am late to work constantly, but not _THAT_ late. I need at least $105k a year. I consistently order the most expensive drinks I possibly can get away with when the company card is down. I will even order drinks to then just pour out into the toilet or onto the carpet just to make the company tab higher.

I can program a variety of languages including but not limited to C, C++, a number of assembly languages, PERL, BASH, TCL and SPIN.

I cannot currently program ERLANG, SCHEME, PYTHON or RUBY but if required (which is highly likely if you think your company is a cool, hip and intelligent one), I can learn any of these languages in 2 days with fluent programmign ability with 2 weeks, as any real programmer can do with any language.

I'm an excellent programmer but many aspies (people with aspergers) can out-program me.

I have microcontroller and embeded systems programming and hardware experience including fabrication and circuit design, although I am by no means an expert in this.

I have a very useful formal college education in mathematics from a top tier university I dropped out of, and therefore I can solve many problems very logically with many extra mental tools. I am by no means a mathematics genius.

I have 10+ years in professional (PAID) computer security experience but the security industry is completely retarded now. So I don't want to secure your web apps, _AT ALL_.

Of course I kinda feel my future might end up like this too :X

Nice shirt, and lack of eyes. O.o



Kaleeko went red! Huzzah! Terrible pic, but yeah. Redness. /Redness/.

How did someone as pretty as you end up here?!

General Discussion / External RAID Array?
« on: August 06, 2006, 10:12:25 pm »
So I was considering building myself an external raid array. The main use for this would probably be long term storage of pictures+video, so it will need to be large and able to recover incase of drive failure. Does anyone already have one of these? Does anyone have suggestions? The other thing that I have been considering is spending more $ and going for SCSI drives but I doubt I'll notice the performance increase so the only question is if they will last considerable longer than comparable SATA/IDE drives?

Graphics / Request: Anyone good at pixel art or making icons?
« on: July 31, 2006, 03:19:49 am »
So I decided one of my programs could use a spiffy icon. My artist skills are about that of an iron(you know one of those old ones that was heated with hot rocks? yeah one of those!). So I was wondering if anyone here would be happy to make me an icon 32x32 pixels is the prefered size but if you can scale it better than a computer 16x16 and 64x64 would also be nice. The program is called 'Anticipating the Hook' and refers to tornadoes but it is software for viewing NEXRAD data. Inspirations might be a tornado/radar/something else weather related.

Thanks in advance if anyone here feels up to doing some charity work!

For some reason I thought this commercial was really clever and highly amusing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unkAvO9v2Nk

I decided to post this here because it could be useful as an example of whatever.
http://www.advancedcontent.net/zorm/ATHSrc.zip

Basically I started putting this together for a new program I was working on. It combines elements from other programs I've made and as such you can see the result with slightly messy source code in some areas.

I'm posting this here hoping to inspire someone else as well as get feedback on what I'm doing wrong or could be doing better. Keep in mind this is very much a work in progress.

On a technical note, this will compile in both multi-byte and unicode mode but reading the configuration file in unicode mode probably will not work.

General Discussion / Wonder how many millionaires I know...
« on: April 13, 2006, 12:55:51 am »
So I'm posting this here because I want to brag.

Quote
According to a study, the American city with the highest concentration of millionaires is Los Alamos— a place known more for gamma rays and gigabytes than glitz and glamour.
    The study published Friday by Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine says one in five Los Alamos households has a net worth of more than $1 million, excluding the value of the family's primary residence.

Full Story

Of course this does explain why some many people have hummers!

General Discussion / Building a robot...?
« on: March 30, 2006, 11:42:44 pm »
So anyways I've always been curious about robotics and robots and now I have the urge to make one. I want it to be intel based, and probably using wifi as the main communication method. However, there are a vast number of problems related to this and so I was wondering if anyone has done this before or knows anyone who has?

I'm avoiding pre-built kits because they are rather lame and vastly limited in what they can do. Linux on a robot would be far superior to most of these kits. I want to be able to make a NFS on wheels or an autonomous robot and anything inbetween should I so desire.

I've got ~$200 as seed money for this project, but clearly thats not nearly enough. However, will be searching for the best method and deals. Also seed money could double or even quadruple in a few weeks so we shall see.

General Discussion / My town is scary...
« on: March 08, 2006, 07:33:00 pm »
So on my way to armed drill practice this morning there was a car infront of us with a "Linux" license plate. I have to say this is the first time I've seen reference to something geeky on a car.

Then after school the Army recruiter was hanging around and he admitted to being a gamemaster for a starwars rpg. What the hell has my town come too when even the military recruiters are geeks? :(

Ok so I have to post this because it involves retarded friends of mine.

iago's forum / RE: Automatic-updater
« on: January 30, 2006, 01:52:51 am »
If you ever decide to pursue this you should get in contact with me. I've got it part way started although its in C++. Currently using a dll made by someone else to read the MPQ files although it should hopefully be a simple modification to make StormLib(http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html) work with what I need, however it seems to lack an actual license for use.

Got to the actual patching part and ran away in fear because its scary =/.

New Project Announcements / Web based MUD/RPG
« on: December 22, 2005, 05:22:25 pm »
I've decided I want to make a web based MUD/RPG. I already have a story line(borrowed from a D&D world, but the creator will let me use it). Having this the next step becomes actual design of the game and world. Since this will be made in PHP and a lot of the information will be somewhat dynamic it appears the best method would be to use a MySQL database to store information about possible monsters/items that can appear in the world. The world itself will likely be hardcoded as it will be static.

Perhaps another method would be better than a MySQL database? Does anyone have suggestions and is anyone out there capable of making lots of decent 'pixelish' artwork?
