You never know when some little bit of knowledge is going to be of use...

I got me 6 tuz's tonight. Now, my record is 8, which makes me a wizard of the tuz, and one day I sure would like to beat it.

I've developed a strategy..I won't share ALL of my secrets, but I've set my keyboard repeat rate as fast as it will go. I have a vintage ibm clicky click keyboard that is ultra fast. I sync to navy.mil time and I close everything possible down to minimize any possible interrupts that I can.

If you don't know what the TUZ is, then you probably don't hang around ebay. I've been doing the tuz for 3 or 4 years now. 2:22:22 on the dnf. BE THERE.

Ok, so we have a big power outtage up northeast. Here's my theory - totally unsubstantiated and without merit but offered up anyway.

The msblaster.exe worm was a snot attack for the real hacking that went on. The object was to foil any ids systems on the internet. Explains the 4 day delay too before the DOS hit windowsupdate.com.

OK, what else do I have to say today?

Looks like Redhat would get its act together so you could use useradd to add in more than 3000 folks to a user group.

I think I'll vote for Howard Dean. Or is it Dean Howard. His two first name name will surely cost him the election.

Ok, then this DCOM worm hit us around noon. Have to say that while we were not ready for it, we were smart enough to figure out what was hitting us pretty fast. (by one.)
