    Ten years ago the television was used as a virtual babysitter to keep kids quiet. Now, according to Teen Research Unlimited, the Web has officially replaced television as the instant babysitter in a box. For the most part, parents have absolutely no idea what goes on when their kids are on the Web and, due to their ignorance, do not properly train their child in proper Webiquette (wow, i just pulled that word out of my ass).

  • Dinner

  • Weird plateau?

    Well, I’m at a totally weird plateau. My weight has been floating around 230.8 pounds for the past four days but I’ve dropped from 31% body fat down to 23% body fat. So, that means I’m either full of shit or my body has gone through some spacetime fabric ripple in the past three days since I’ve started weight training again.

  • Lunch

    • Grilled roast beef with cheddar cheese, lettuce, onion and pickles on low carb bread with bleu cheese dressing (8 carbs)
    • Side of egg salad (2 carbs)

  • Breakfast

    • Handful sliced almonds
    • Small piece mozzarella

  • SmoothWall – Password reset

    Since I was a complete zoomtard, I forgot all the passwords on both my Linksys wireless access point and SmoothWall firewall. After a brief brainstorming session, I was unable to break into my own hardware. So, I went on a search for resetting the password of the SmoothWall. Nothing was in the documentation, the LILO bootloader had single user mode disabled and all the suggestions from IRC pointed me in the direction of a reinstall.

  • There goes the neighborhood…

    Problem: you’ve renovated your house and you have all sorts of nasty things that need to get thrown out. Solution: rent a huge dumpster to toss everything into! Problem: the disposal company refuses (ha, I made a pun) to take the dumpster after the spare oil tank has been tossed into it! Solution: rent the loudest piece of portable machinery possible to generate as many sparks as possible around a leaking oil tank, chop it up into little bits and throw it away one chunk at a time! Pure genius! I only wish I had had the balls to toss all of our renovation debris over the fence into their dumpster while it was still there…
