Author: BBC America ran an X-File marathon a week or so ago. I miss the X-Files. There is just so much that is unexplained. I love physics and science in general. Anyways, here are the quotes from the episodes that weren’t the default “The Truth Is Out There”. I have worked for the government before and I loved to throw these in my email signature.
Trust No One — “The Erlenmeyer Flask”
Deny Everything — “Ascension”
éí ‘aaníígÓÓ ‘áhoot’é — “Anasazi” (Navajo: The truth is out there)
Apology is Policy — “731″
Everything Dies — “Herrenvolk” (German: Master race)
Deceive Inveigle Obfuscate — “Teliko”
E pur si muove — “Terma” (Italian: And still it moves — attributed to Galileo)
Believe the Lie — “Gethsemane”
All Lies Lead to the Truth — “Redux”
Resist or Serve — “The Red and the Black”
The End — “The End”
Die Wahrheit ist irgendwo da draußen — “Triangle” (German: The truth is out there.. somewhere)
In the Big Inning — “The Unnatural” (a baseball-themed episode)
Amor Fati — “Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati” (Latin: Love of fate)
Believe to Understand — “Closure”
Nothing Important Happened Today — “Nothing Important Happened Today II”
erehT tuO si hturT ehT — “4D” (The Truth is Out There backwards)
They’re Watching — “Trust No 1″
Dio ti ama — “Improbable” (Italian: God loves you)

Work got me a new ipad2. At first I thought it would be a fun toy with a little use in the work place. Being mainly a windows and Linux user I wasn’t looking forward to a device I can’t get in to the guts to tweak. I thought rooting the iPad, but since it is a work owned device I figured I shouldn’t. I have found the lack of flash very very annoying. Some of the sites I use a lot use flash for different parts. Splunk and Google use flash a lot in their tools.
But I do like the design of the iPad. I have it easy to adopt to. I have spent around $75 in apps to get it usable in my day to day jobs. I a disappointed in how many apps only run in the iPhone mode and you have to double to screen size and they don’t rotate with your screen. There are still some apps that I am looking for that I can’t find. This is causing me to look in to developing them myself. Digging in to that I found that apple really only wants you to develop on a Mac. My company is ok with us getting the enterprise developer license but that still leaves the issue of not having a Mac device to use for programming.
There has to be a way!
We all know that hackers are a proud group. We like to show off our talents like most proud parents of their honor roll students with bumper stickers. Except we don’t just plaster our cars. We put our stickers on everything. Our laptops, ipads, servers, desks, walls, and everything else they can stick to. We all wear our talents as battle armor with our t-shirts. There is almost a t-shirt for every type of nerdly, geekly, hackish, crackerish, or other weirdly thing we do. And with our late nights pouring over code or taking things apart just to see how they work (and making them better in the process), you might need a little boost. Here comes the caffeine. Before you had cubes of Mountain Dew or mounts of Jolt Cola, but now we have pure caffeine mints, energy strips, and jolt gum.
So where can you get all this?????

On June 30, 1999, sheriff’s officers in St. Louis, Missouri discovered the body of 41-year-old Ricky McCormick. He had been murdered and dumped in a field. The only clues regarding the homicide were two encrypted notes found in the victim’s pants pockets.
