A lot of my time has been recently absorbed creating a social network for hunters and fishermen. A bit outside of my typical scope of interest, But fun none the less. I encourage anyone who is interested in computer programming to check out the Django framework and python. I like py much better than visual basic. Like when i switched out of windows for ubuntu. The project is built using the Pinax open source software. Registration is free, http://www.trackmytrophies.com
Iphone 2G internet sharing howto!
March 6th, 2009- Jailbroken iphone using quickpwn or pwnagetool from the (iphone dev team).
- I have signed up with T-Mobile’s 25$/month data plan which does not requie me to run any proxy hacks on the phone (i.e. Tzones hack.) But Requires me to give up my grandfathered plan goodness. Basicaly you need to have a carrier with internet access, Please look up the rates and what you are paying. Not all cell phone companies are forgiving.
- Using “Cydia” on the phone install SSH, default pass: alpine . Install 3proxy the same way.
- Connect iphone to a network. A Ad-Hoc connection directly to a PC or connecting to a router works. If one is connecting to a router, manually set iphone’s IP address and subnet mask. This can be done within the iphone’s settings. Only fill out the IP address and the subnet mask information! (if you don’t know what a subnet mask is then use 255.255.0.0) This is not needed if you can ad-hoc the phone to a WiFi card because the way in which safari and the iphone choose which network to use.
- SSH into the iphone. ssh root@x.x.x.x Since I am using Ubuntu i have SSH built in. I think PuTTY will work for windows but i dont know. Remember default pass: alpine
- Check if you have internet connection. ifconfig note the names of the connections, en0 is your WiFi connection and pdp_ip0 is your cellular connection. make sure you are getting IP address information. If no Ip information is populated for ip_pdp0 then try usig safari on the iphone. If you can get safari to work run ifconfig again.
- Run Socks on the iphone, socks once it is running all you will see is a blinking cursor this is good. Minimize this window and KEEP IT OPEN. Closeing the window will stop the socks script and end the server.
- Open a new terminal and nmap the iphone on port 1080. nmap 192.168.1.50 -p 1080 This step is redundant, as it checks to make sure the iphone is indeed running a socks server. But I feel it is important to point this out as it helps troubleshooting.
- Configure Firefox. Now that we have a proxy server and have checked that it is running we need to configure Firefox to use the socks proxy and to use the socks proxy to run DNS requests. First go to Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Network->Settings enter your iphone’s IP address and 1080 for the port number. Next navigate to about:config In the filter box type socks, we are looking for a key named network.proxy.socks_remote_dns set the boolean value to true.
- Relax for a second now that you have a working webbrowser, =D
- If you use M$ windows or wine on a linux system like ubuntu grab a copy of FreeCap. I have tested it with World of Warcraft and it works wonderful. Remember to set the socks settings.
Mandelbrot Set
February 13th, 2009The Mandelbrot Set is one of mathematics and computer sciences greatest discoveries.
It is awe-inspiring and beautiful. Many things in nature seem to take on the form of this infinite equation.
One can get lost in attempting to comprehend it. Anyone who is interested in computer sciences should study the M-set.
Urantia Book
February 12th, 2009Despite what you think about the Urantia Book. It is open sourced, massive, and defnitily makes one think. I sugest everyone takes the time to donwload some of it or read it. 
iPhone Liberation
February 12th, 2009for all you nubs out there here it is,
2G – software unlock & jailbreak (iphone dev team)
3G – hardware unlock, software jailbreak from iphone dev team.
Of course this will void any AT$T or Apple warranty. But as far as i know it is not illegal.
Beings of light.
February 8th, 2009I was listening to Terrance McKenna – True Hallucinations via audio book and was intriuged by a referance to a group of American hippies who lived together in the amazon. They used Owgii Boards to talk to a group know as “Beings of light”, among other intresting things Terrance only hinted on. This of course warrants further research.
“I must explain Solo. He was part of a fringe religion happening in South America, which
I had not found in India, called the New Jerusalem. Devotees, who seemed to be
primarily fruitarian, were a tribe of mostly Americans who since 1962 or 1963 had been
drifting down through Latin America, chiseling on each other, living with each other,
hating each other, and weaving intrigues. They communicated through Ouija boards with
entities they called “Beings of Light.” An entire mythology had been constructed around
reincarnation. According to them, everyone was a reincarnation.”
— Terrance McKenna, True Hallucinations – Chapter 2, page 21
I did not find much more info about the people Terrance was speaking of, but i did find this
All your base.
