Wheee, combo 420 and Earthday post....
Have to give props to the pot people, yesterday was their day; 4/20. And in that same spirit, tomorrow is Earthday, boy what a week.
So, now on to sports...
In basketball, my Kings won a squeaker. That game could have gone either way, with the last 6 minutes being fairly pivotal. The Kings were able to come from 7 points back and take the lead with about 2 minutes remaining and that pretty much cemented the victory.
A little down Hwy 80 in Oakland, the A's were chalkin' up another loss, but hey, it's baseball and you can loose 40% of your games and still be in first place. I'd better research that comment!
And of course, cycling, one of my favorite sports is in full swing currently. We have the Tour of Georgia running this week, today is the 68th Flèche Wallonne, in Belgium. Liège-Bastogne-Liège is also this weekend, where the American, Tyler Hamilton will attempt to defend his lasts years title. Ah, breaking news... Italian Davide Rebellin of the German Gerolsteiner team has won the Flèche Wallonne. What a stud, as he won last weekends Amstel Gold Race. Quite an impressive double in such difficult races.
Ok, now on to a little scholastic report...
As you may be aware, I'm taking a Network Security/Privacy class at Chico State, I'd link the cldescriptiontion if they actually had it in the online catalog, I guess the class is that cutting edge. For me, the class has been a real eye opener as to all the potential vuneralibilities and exploits out there, not to mention the risky situations people and business place themselves and their data. To prove my point read this story at slashdot.org
On a similar note, the internet is flawed! So, you'd better make sure you have all your packets in a row! I'm sure there is to be more fall out on this subject in the very near future as this article at Yahoo paints a grim picture. In speaking with one very knowledgeable person in the industry I come to find that these could be well planned attacks from the proponents of IPV6 attempting scare tactics to promote the new protocol. Anyway, however they accomplish the task, it will be well worth it!
I believe that's all for today, Happy Day All
