[Geeks are Sexy] technology news: Save money: How to make your own Ethernet patch cord.

Patch cord making… for reference. Another good tip… write the damn schematic on the box that holds the wire. So you don’t have to reference anything in the future.

You’ll carry the box with you, and you can do it easily enough.

bluemountain trip #2

January 24th, 2006 Lloyd Leung No comments

Fear and adrenaline are hand in hand.

I guess when adrenaline rushes through you veins, you feel alive. Even if you get injured, you’re able to recover, walk it off, and continue.

Case in point, my half pipe incident. The pipe at blue mountain isn’t a bad place as all, it’s a little icy, but the transition is wide enough, that beginners can learn.

Anyways, I hit the front side wall, no problem. Get good height, come back, backside wall. Good landing as well. Ooops… picking up lots of speed… hit the front side again… WOW! nice height.

Over compensate for the height, and catch an edge. Somehow I accelerated my knee into the flat of the pipe, and well… got some images to show.

Knee Image AKnee Image B

I guess that’s why some things are enjoyable to do. The release of endorphins is euphoric.

Cryptography: JavaScript MD5: Login System

Paj’s Home: Cryptography: JavaScript MD5: Login System

Hmm… thought in my head.

Server
$Server_Pass_Hash // Server has a hash of the users password, retrieved from a database.
var $Date = now(); // Current date as of the moment now()

Server sends the $Date to the client browser.

Client side
Client types in the password in an <input type=”password”> box. $Client_Password.

use a JS function called Hash(value) to generate a hash.

$temp = Hash($Client_Password);
$Client_Hashed_password = Hash($temp + $Date);

Send both back to server.
$Client_Hashed_password
$Date

Sever checks to see if the $Date is less than 2 minutes old (or whatever). If bad, redo, else…

Server computes
$chk = Hash ($Server_Password_Hash + $Date);
if ($chk == $Client_Hashed_password)
//then allow into the system, via a session ID.

[update]
After typing the above, it scares me a little to know that I can have a coherant thought like that. The flow works.

Art of the flamer

January 20th, 2006 Lloyd Leung No comments

I’ve been using the internet since my grade 10 year… after purchasing an account from www.io.org many years ago. “Internet Online” was the company name.

I’ve always seem flamers/trolls just general jackasses that most are accustomed to. These people would never say the things they do online… the anonymity is the trouble. What fear do they have? Maybe if we post everyone’s IP that post the crap they do.

I know I’ve done it in the past… maybe it’s just a bad day, who knows.

SHOES!

January 19th, 2006 Lloyd Leung No comments

Well, the recent event at Ken’s was fun. Jan 7th was a nice gather of people at his place.

However, someone walked off with my shoes… It was a mystery for like 2 weeks.

Rob, Dave’s cousin, was a little too drunk to realize that he walked off with MY pair of shoes. Dave msg’d me a couple of days ago, to tell me that he founds them, and apologized.

I thought it was funny. Rob was a little wasted to realize what he was doing what so ever.

Ken now just msg’d me that my shoes have returned.

horray.

Funny life I live.

Hamachi : Stay Connected

Hamachi : Stay Connected

Wow… a FREE vpn like service. I wonder will this work behind my school’s firewall?

hamachi is so easy to setup. It’s just another network adapter, with a private network setup. Making stuff work just so easily…

you’re hooked up to the network, like ICQ, with just another layer. Speeds aren’t too bad either.

So, all clients hook up to the a central server to get communication information, and then you’re able to connect to the clients without issue.

Now, it’d be nice if I could actually somehow lose the central server hookup. But I’m not complaining if it’ll allow me to go from:
laptop -> hamachi -> vnc 128bit encryption client -> vnc server -> hamachi -> workstation.

a few layers… yup. But currently school is filtering out ports 5800… so I don’t feel like digging to find out what ports are open to me. So hopefully hamachi will solve this problem. I’ll know this evening if I go to class.

Blogcritics.org: I’m A Programmer, Not A Computer Guy

The above link is a good read. Correlations between a programmer and a “computer guy” being one and the same works out well. I guess I am one and the same as well. Read more…
