Updated my life

I feel cleaner… just got paid, and took care of my credit card balances and set aside enough to pay rent and utilities for the month.

Today being a day off for me I took to tooling around with GIMP on my Ubuntu-powered laptop. I made the beginnings of my desktop background. I’ve recently been inspired by the game Uplink where you (fictitiously) hack into servers and do hacking jobs for Uplink Corp, while employing tunnels and stuff to decrease your risk of being detected… totally fake but looks like the cool Hollywood-style of hacking. Anyway, I made this:

I just took one of my quotes and turned it into a stream of ASCII bytes, then took a simple traceroute and put it up there at a different perspective. I’m trying to figure out what else to add to it that’s not too difficult to get… maybe like a netstat or something. I was thinking of having some kind of headline and then translations into russian, arabic, chinese, and korean below it… but I’ll save that for later.

Time to see what else I can play with.
