As it turns out, Homestead has shut down its ftp server, thus making updating from Blogger impossible. I had been doing some updates and they never made it up to the site. So, I'm looking for some place to hosue things, or some things, and it may be Geocities. But not everything will be in one place, mark my words.

Haven't logged in in awhile. So here's what's happening to me:
I did go to Defcon. MUON came down as well, eventually. Much moaning from him about how he lost his quasi-dyke girlfriend. No, she did not run off with some chick with short cropped black hair, like you would expect. She just got tired of his bullshit. And I am down with her on that, let me tell you.
The conference itself had about one babe for every 500 poor teenage black-garbed hacked dweebs. On that level it was somewhat pathetic, becauce me getting some in that sort of environment, and being so old and rude to boot... not going to happen.
So I called a whore.
Prostitution is not legal in Las Vegas. However, they have some of the finest high-class, high-dollar tail in the world. And in my new life as a bored, over-paid consultant,

Chapter 1044
Okay, so now I have two Zip disks filled with my old material. And most of it is crap, I am reminded, so I guess I may or may not post it. We'll see. One thing I can't find, though, is a chapter from a supposed novel by a very well-known hacker/celeb like Acid Phreak or Phiber Optik. A violent thing indeed about a young woman getting revenge on all the people in her little town who abused her, starting with her step-father, as I remember.
I received two emails this week:
NUMBER 1 :: The kind of email I get all the time: "I understand from your site you are the daddy of hacking ... I have had a problem with a bloke who has hacked my friends site and would like tyo [sic] know how to repay the compliment if you know what I mean." Oh yeah, COOPS (or should I say Cops), I know exactly what you mean. You want to lay the smack down. We all do. Does this guy think I have a rate card?
NUMBER 2 :: "... i agree with much of your words even though im not an outcast like you (no offense) ... " None taken, incubus, but I was writing about how I used to be an outcast, not how things are now. In fact, I have a cat and a dog, and a few friends, though some not very good ones who owe me a lot money. But see above :-)

Chapter 1043
To paraphrase Chris Jericho: those of you who do know me, know my pain.
Seventeen years of blood, sweat and tears, down the drain. It is as simple and tragic as that.
The life of a deep hacker is not fun. It is certainly not glamorous. To become famous is to be caught, and to have one's livelihood stripped away, possibly forever. So one has to take precautions, and when risk decreases in one area, it increases in another.
A deep hacker with a Web site? Virtually unheard of. And that's why I did it. Because as much as I love technology, what I love more is media.
The feedback was wonderful. I was connected. For awhile.
Without going into details, the site had to be erased. No, it was not hacked and it was not deleted by the sysadmin. Frankly, the government of Canada is filled with the biggest bunch of IT lamers and third-strings outside of North Korea and China. They weren't the problem.
The problem was a "client" with an agenda. To make a long story short, he went to a mutual third party and offered to tell him what 2 + 2 equals.
I had to make sure the answer was 6. The site had to go.
Now, those that follow this site know that I've been doing filez and sites since the early-1980s, before a lot of your candy asses were born. And you can guess that I kept no local copies of said filez, and therefore lost about 1000 pieces of original work. Squort and MH have been great about digging some of it up, but if you have any of my stuff, drop it in my idrive dropbox.
So here I am. Now at homestead, the free host that doesn't pack a whole lot of crap onto your page, and seems to do an okay job of giving you your props. But we'll see :-)
