Whether you just did a line or just started your career at the DEA, you can not deny that George Jung is one of the smartest and most successful businessmen of all time. Be careful though; watching this movie will make you want to become a drug dealer/mobster/gangster and if you follow through with this desire, you may land yourself in prison. That is my official warning.
So by now most people have seen the commericals put out by the Ad Council aimed at teenagers for using the word “gay” to describe something that is stupid. I just saw this for the first time yesterday, and I am appalled. This is fucking ridiculous. In no way, shape, or form could this ever stop teens from saying “gay”; it just won’t happen. I’m not saying it’s impossible to make them stop using this term, but this is definately not an effective way of doing it. In fact, after seeing this commercial, I decided to double my usage of the word gay just because of how fucking gay these commercials are.
So, it’s been a while…how have you been? Keeping up with this blog gets tough during the school months, which is a bad excuse for not posting in a while. Scribute has become a small (very small) internet archive of useful information, according to Google Analytics, which reports that a small number of people still find this website every month through a web search of something or other, usually something Linux related. However I am home from college now, so I promise at least weekly posts. I have been brainstorming some ideas for posts, so please, if there is something you want me to write about, post it in the comments.
To add something to this post that is related to the accumulation of knowledge, the point of the blog, I ask you to visit TED.com and watch some of the educational and entertaining videos which you can watch right in the browser, or download for viewing at a later time.
Fireworks. It doesn’t matter how old or mature one is, everybody loves fireworks. For me the passion was always there, just in a less destructive form. I have very fond memories of being allowed, by my parents, to light fireworks on the fourth of each July. Little did I know, this passion would soon turn into a disaster. Well, almost a disaster.
It was December of 2007 when I got the fateful call from a good friend, Sam, in the evening after dinner. He told me that he had a box of fireworks to get rid of, asking if I was able to help with his “predicament.”
“Of course!” was my default response, escaping my lips before I even had time to call it to question. So we made plans to meet up at the local WaWa gas station later that night.
Well, that time rolled around and with it—as would later come to my attention—came my old pal mischief. This may have been the night I began believing in Murphy’s Law. We met at the prearranged location along with some friends from our high school, Ian and Dan, much to my surprise. Once the usual chit-chat subsided we were off, in three separate cars—our first errata.
We pulled in to a neighborhood which had clearly just begun construction. The roads were finished, along with three or four houses, but there wasn’t much else. As Sam drove us through the residential streets looking for our citadel-de-mischief we encountered several round-a-bouts. Our second errata was not leaving to search out a different location as soon as we saw these obnoxious, law-enforcement-helping, European tragedies. Sam turned his minivan right, onto a dirt road, which we soon found out led to a path, which led to a pond. Not small nor large, this is the exact pond you would think of as the centerpiece of a nice (see: white) suburban neighborhood.
We parked the car next to the path and got out. Ian and Dan pulled up next to us. After grabbing all of the fireworks from the back seat we set out down the path. Arriving at the river, we set up shop. It was all fun and games at first; the typical teenager style of doing fireworks. You know, lighting bottle rockets in our hands and throwing them out over the river where, if we got lucky, they would plunge to their ultimate demise under the surface of this murky pond. We also discovered that if the fireworks were set off at a low enough angle relative to the surface of the water they would skip just like rocks over a lake. And so it went for, oh, about six fireworks or so, which I do realize is not many. It was that seventh rocket that sent our night into a frenzy.
To go along with the scheme of the upcoming Scribute site design, Scribute 2.0, I am releasing this wallpaper. Right now I only have it available in 1024×768, but as the new design rolls out so will more sizes. The colors used in this wallpaper will be, more or less, the colors used in the new theme. I am not going to release any details of the new theme yet *cough*Horizontal Scrolling*cough* but they will be released over time as well. If anyone has any ideas please add let me know in the comments, and who knows, maybe you’re idea will be featured in the design of Scribute.

Sorry for the lack of posts, it happens when school becomes my main focus. I have learned a lot of Python over the last few weeks, so look forward to me rolling out some custom scripts, *hopefully* soon. I am going to post some word lists and WPA password files here for visitors to try to crack as well. Hopefully I can get everything together soon so more content goes up on this site.

Why don’t we stop talking about tech for a minute and reflect on the cheating ways of NFL referees. How about today’s game, Titans vs. Ravens. Since when does a 3 sec delay of game not get called? Were they bribed or just plain dumb? Not saying the Ravens didn’t deserve it, but come on.
Here are my favorite articles of the week. Most of them have to do with media and file storage because that’s what I was messing around with the whole week.
- Converting AVI to DVD in Linux
- Setting up a LAN file server running Ubuntu
- Making that file server accessible from anywhere
- Making bank during the recession
- Diggnation clip show
If more come up before Sunday, they will also be added.
Hey everyone, welcome to Scribute.com. Just to give you a little bit of info on what to expect from this site:
The main themes of this site is Security, Hacking, Linux, occasionally Mac, but NEVER Windows. In the coming days and weeks I will be posting some interesting articles that I have already begun working on, so stay tuned for those. Pardon the very un-customized WordPress theme, that is also coming. A couple of the articles you can expect are: 1. Hacking WEP with Slackware and aircrack-ng, 2. A link round-up to some of my favorite posts by other bloggers, and 3. Random post of DIY projects pertaining to Linux and Hacking.
Just to give you a little on who I am so the title is not completely decieving:
Things I dislike:
- I despise Microsoft
- I think the United States is entirely too corporate
- I voted for Obama, but can’t believe he picked up Tom Perelli

- I hate when people misuse the word “literally”
Things I like:
