I felt so shitty. I just wanted to get to the bathroom to be alone and wash my face after that nightmare. Or daymare. Once I got to the bathroom, I saw this odd beautiful blue butterfly flutter in and right when I took a photo of it in the corner, Nathan Prescott came in freaking out, talking to himself. I hid in the corner and this punk girl came in and they started arguing about drugs and money. Then Nathan actually whipped out a gun and SHOT the girl.
This is where it gets strange
This will be the weirdest journal entry I will ever make. So weird I don’t know how or where to start. But it started with the most vivid dream of my life. I was lost in a storm by the lighthouse until I came to the edge of the cliff.
Then I saw a giant tornado headed for Arcadia Bay. It was so real that I could feel the rain stinging my face. And I was scared shitless. Then a boat hit the lighthouse and I swear I actually felt like I was going to die.
But I woke up in Mr
October. My favorite month. The best weather of the year. I love watching the leaves change color, turning into tiny flames. But it’s still too damn hot (thanks global warming) and I can’t bust out the big coats and sweaters or scary movies yet. Soon. Kate let me borrow “The October Country” by Rad Bradbury.
I haven’t read much by him (which caused Warren to almost revoke my geek cred before I held up my copy of “Battle Royale”) but he nails the autumn atmosphere of small towns. The
I am currently working on a personal project but so far, I've created a simple python script (with many comments to try and explain what is going on!) to pull data from the default tac_plus.acct (AAA Accounting file) that is created with tac_plus.
By default this file is saved in /var/log/tac_plus.acct and records user sessions (whether it is authenticated via TACACS+ or by the local database on our cisco router (10.0.100.1). The script takes an argument used to filter the specific '
I don’t know whether I love it or hate it here. I’m trying to keep up with my science class of all things. Like I give a shit or even understand it. Good thing I know Warren. Too bad I can’t clone him to take my place in class.
Ms. Grant is much cooler than the class. She explains particle physics so even boneheads like me can kinda understand. I love how she relates society to science and vice versa. I can tell she’s committed and passionate about life. Unlike some of us in her clas
Finally had a chance to take some actual shots around campus today. A perfect blue sky day. I always forget how great I feel after I take pictures when I’ve been slacking off. Speaking of pictures, Mr. Jefferson told us about the national “Everyday Heroes” photo contest he wants us all to enter.
The winner gets a trip to San Francisco and lots of publicity. He wants just one photograph from each student. This is exactly why I wanted to come to Blackwell and of course I’m scared shitl
Homework is kicking my ass. I bet the teachers grade harder just to stop you from feeling special. But Victoria Chase and her snob minions still front like they’re honored guests of Blackwell. The bros here aren’t that different. Nathan Prescott is Victoria’s male clone, with way more money and attitude, if that’s possible.
His family is the oldest in Arcadia Bay and I heard stories about them when I was a kid. The Prescotts give a shitload of bank to Blackwell, so Nathan acts like h
I have an assload of homework already. So much bullshit. At least give us noobs a day to acclimate. But, to prove I’m not a total loser, I made a new friend in my science class. His name is Warren Graham and he’s a serious geek, plus he’s dark and witty.
He comes across as kind of a know-it-all, but it turns out he does kind of know a lot. We talked about photographers, and he actually named a few I'd never heard of. We traded numbers and he’ll be a good study partner (or a good frie
Blackwell sucks ass! I told myself not to whine so soon, but damn… The day started like Christmas morning. I barely had any dreams because I was so pumped to start my first official day of my new life. Like a dork I couldn’t figure out what to wear, so I chose what was on the floor. I’m no good with names and faces right away, but I picked up some names like KateBrookeTaylorAlyssa…
And how could I forget Victoria Chase? Rich, stylish, entitled. I could feel INSTANT JUDGEMENT when she
My first entry from my new dorm room the night before my first day at Blackwell. Whew! I haven’t had any time to write or even take pictures since I got here. My shit is in boxes all over the room, which is small, but mine, and I never want to leave. I can’t wait to decorate! I plan a whole wall o’ photos. I did meet some of my dorm mates, tho I suck at remembering names so I won’t bother right now. But I think I can already see who’s going to be cool to me and who’s not. It’s a bitch trying to
Shit is krazy here. I didn’t realize how much crap I had to pack until I had to pack all my crap. Mom and Dad are gettin’ a little too excited I’m clearing out my room. Tho I caught mom crying when she was packing my shirts.
That made me want to cry like a little girl. And never leave Seattle. So instead of packing, I feel like burning all my clothes, then just raiding a thrift store to build up a new Max wardrobe over my junior year. Not that I even have an old Max wardrobe.
So this is it. I’m leaving Seattle to go back to Arcadia Bay. Usually people go to the High School closest to home. I suppose I am too, it’s just I haven’t lived there for 5 years. Out of all the best photography programs in the world, I choose to go to the smallest, back in a town I was excited about leaving.
Maybe I wanted to come back all along, just to see if Chloe and I are still even friends. But I do wish Chloe could have moved with us to Seattle… That city was made for her. W
I GOT ACCEPTED INTO BLACKWELL ACADEMY.
If words could dance this would be a rave. Even though I’ve never been to one. But who cares because I GOT INTO BLACKWELL ACADEMY, a unique and famous private school for seniors! NO KIDS ALLOWED! I didn’t think I would be so excited since it's not like I didn’t used to live in the same town. But when I saw the text from the Blackwell scholarship office, I could literally feel my pulse speed up.
I thought it was going to say, “Sorry!
I guess I gotta talk about the current state of Reptar, or rather, I'm kinda inclined to.
If you want TL;DR, me planning on what I wanted to spend my money on is why I didn't go for the R7.
Now that the TL;DR is out of the way, I amassed $220USD in total the night before my birthday, September 20th. I then started weighing my options. "Should I bust my load right here right now or should I have some money to spend then save for R7 around Christmas?"
I am getting mone
I was just testing around and finding a simple way to have a look at TACACS+ without getting a friend to obtain Cisco ACS for me. I have an Ubunutu VM that I was testing on so I thought I'd find a TACACS+ package or somewhat, many are available but I found one which is based off the original cisco TACACS+ code (doesn't provide LDAP integration but they have examples how to 'almost' fully integrate it haha)...
So this is more or less a quick post so I can look back when I need to revi
I've always wanted to do a post but felt like this is more appropriate for a blog post instead of on the networking forum. I've had a few people ask me on instagram + other social sites about building a lab and decided to create this so I can point them to it. Let us begin!
So, you're studying for a Cisco exam or want to get some 'real' hands on experience with Cisco equipment because either:
1) People are telling you real hardware experience is better than emulati
CDP - Cisco discovery protocol...
A protocol that runs on Layer 2 which means it doesn't give a damn which layer 3 protocol is running on the interface! The basic concept from our point of view with CDP is that it can obtain information related to device name, interface, management IP and more!
A tiny bit of theory that isn't really required for the CCNP level is what CDP runs on. Medias must support Subnetwork access protocol (SNAP). Essentially this is a frame format which
A common complaint I see about Intel is because they didn't have much in the way of competition from AMD for several years, they were content with releasing each new generation of processors with only "incremental" performance updates. Incremental being about 10%-15%. I wondered if in the past, we were enjoying a period of great performance improvements and so I went to looking around for benchmarks of processors from around the mid 2000s to late 2000s/early 2010s.
I found out that b
I needed a new case that was somewhat portable (the P3 was not fun to carry around) because I recently sold my laptop. I settled on the 400C and it is gorgeous. Review coming soon.
While you might have thought that I abandoned this place, I haven't, it's just that the part prices are getting higher and higher on a pretty much weekly basis, and some components, such as GPUs and RAM, are shooting up in price due to limited stock and overall shortage
But no worries, I can still make pretty good budget builds for light to moderate gaming.
I'm going to do a little twist, I'm going to give nicknames to builds, not just "Budget build" or "Content creation
