IMPORTANT! Flashing your ROM is a potentially dangerous activity and I take NO responsibility for you messing up your device or anything else. Please read this ... http://mewcetti.com/2008/08/19/how-to-flash-a-tilt-video/ Heading back to college tomorrow.  Updates will be a little more sparse for a time but will pick back up again soon. I'm currently working on a few projects, including Arduino stuff.  I'll keep you all posted for further information http://mewcetti.com/2008/08/18/college-time/ Some of you probably read about the vulnerability in Vista that doesn't just take advantage of any new exploit but rather Vista's fundamental architecture all together. Well the way this systematic attack is approached is via an arbitrary browser exploit.  But what if browser exploits were cut off from ... http://mewcetti.com/2008/08/13/vista-threat-rectified-rather-quickly/ Well apparently the new e-passports that were supposedly so good have already been hacked, furthermore with minimal equipment and within an hour. Kind of ignorant to think about something as simple as that as secure. The Public Key Directory sounds like a decent way to make it more ... http://mewcetti.com/2008/08/08/more-technological-lunacy/ Hackers, despite what you may have heard, have ethics, but apparently a couple of giddy Frenchies though they would be "1337" and sniff a few packets on a line designated as secure at hacker convention Black Hat 2008.  Turns out monitoring traffic when parties involved are not informed is a ... http://mewcetti.com/2008/08/08/crossing-the-line/ Ok so Adaptive Path's Aurora concept is very cool Aurora (Part 2) from Adaptive Path on Vimeo.

Gas in Oklahoma is going down thankfully, but it's still over $3/gallon, and is gas really that high ... http://mewcetti.com/2008/08/03/is-gas-really-that-high-now/ I took a short trip down Nokia lane today in pondering purchasing an N95.  As some of you who have read my About page, I already have an AT&T Tilt (HTC TyTN II) which is a very powerful device that I'm very happy with. However, something with the UNIX-ness ... http://mewcetti.com/2008/07/30/trip-down-nokia-lane/ So really I get quite annoyed with Mac-Addicts.  I have a great example why too.  Read this Gizmodo article.  Then check out this comment.  Pay particular attention to this part. p.s.
