Settling In
Sat, 13 Oct 2007 00:00:00 -0700
The minimal internet usage hasn't been going so successfully, but I've realized that I don't really know what I want. Sometimes, I think technology is nice and want the latest and greatest gadget. Other times, I want to get away from technology. And then, all the time I wish my memory was better and I could remember things. I have a hard time just remembering to carry my little notebook that I use to remember things. Long story short, this is just a rant post.
Settling In
Mon, 03 Sep 2007 00:00:00 -0700
I am still settling in, but I am finally here and actually making my own living. The best thing about work is that it isn't school, no more dumb assignments for homework. However, the bad part is that my social interactions are severely limited. I can go hours and without talking to anyone (in person). Anyways, updates on the computer front: as I am working in front of a computer all day, I am going to attempt to limit my computer usage outside of work and do other things instead. My target goal is ~45 minutes a day, so that leaves not too much time for coding, sorry.
A Natan leaves

Well, the day is finally here. I am moving from my current location to one that is around 3000 miles away. I begin work on Monday for a small company. The possessions I am bringing are clothing, my bass and my computer. I didn't plan on bringing alot, but I am bringing less than what I normally carry with me to school. Unrelatedly, the 3000 miles also entails 3 time zones. I am not quite used to the time zone I am in, having just gotten back from europe, I think this will frustrate the issue. On the coding front, I have not been doing much, but I do hope to begin spending my free time on old projects now that I have more time. I will have another update in the near future, assuming I have internet. I will also be updating old information on the website as well, so if you think you are my friend, get in touch with me so I can add you.
An RSS Feed Arrives
Sat, 12 May 2007 00:00:00 -0700
After talking with a friend, I decided to write an RSS feed so that my site is semi-bloglike and people can subscribe to it. Basically, I wrote a php parser for my news file that generates either an RSS feed or HTML output. It isn't that sophisticated or cool, but it works. A link to the rss feed is somewhere on the site, so just look around and you'll find it. I may put the php parser up in the code snippets section, if I ever take a look at it and clean it up. The main page only loads 5 news items at a time, which is kind of nifty.
Better than last update
Tue, 17 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0700
Better than last update, I have a few exciting things to report. Firstly: The start date on my job was moved from the end of August, to the end of July. Next up: I am going to be traveling to europe in July, so the amount of coding I am doing will drop, but the amount of fun will go up. As for coding, there haven't been many updates due to me not writing much code. I have a laptop with wireless, so I've been playing with scapy. I wrote my own drop-in replacement of airpwn that actively reconstructs the HTTP payloads, as well as a program that will sniff for AIM keep alive packets and disconnect nearby AIM users on the WLAN. Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a while, I've decided not to release either of them due to the possibility of misuse. You'll just have to take my word for how fun they are =). There is more news, but it will have to wait until I can remember it all.
