  • The way of blood

    From morning until night I am physiologically assaulted in my studio apartment. Human beings are supposed to have homes to live in, places where they can live and rest. Not places where they are continually assaulted. America and many of its communities are on the wrong track. The physiological assault creates a class system of…

  • HTML5 input validation with pattern regexes

    Working on a homework assignment that requires validation of user input into HTML forms. HTML5 is great because it can do validation for you. Here are some examples: For a last name accept any alpha characters, space, apostrophe, or dash. Some names do have apostrophes such as O’Malley. Some names might have dashes for example…

  • Odd dream: Budget long-distance mass transit

    I had this really odd dream. I wanted to travel somewhere far away. Like from one coast to another, or some similar far distance. There were these places that provided really budget travel. They were in this area that seemed – I don’t know – it definitely didn’t seem like an airport at all. It…

  • Here’s my platform

    This is part of my platform for the Office of President of the United States. If anyone wants to support me I would be happy to run. At my first State of the Union I would spontaneously, without announcement, call for a constitutional convention and call upon my fellow American citizens to meet and change…

  • List of hosts that have attacked my and others’ servers

    This is not a complete list but still a pretty long list of hosts that at one point tried to attack or illegally access my server or others’ servers: sudo egrep ‘(^ALL|^SSHD)’ /etc/hosts.deny |cut -d” ” -f2 |sort -n |wc -l 3071 When one considers that there are probably tens, hundreds, or even thousands-of-thousands of…

  • Hacking with Polymer under Cygwin

    Decided to explore Polymer and prefer to work under Cygwin. One of the requirements for it is Bower, which itself requires Node.js. Node.js doesn’t exist as a Cygwin package so the easiest way to install it is to just download the Windows installer. There is also a requirement for Git and in their docs they…

  • System logging under Cygwin

    Today I installed syslog-ng in Cygwin which provides system logging. It was simply a matter of installing the package and then running the command syslog-ng-config from a Cygwin terminal run as Administrator. As you can imagine, there’s not a who lot going on in Cygwin to be logging, but there are occasionally a few things…
