Mirror Lake
We took a drive up to Mirror Lake last week while my good friend and his family were in town for a wedding.
Words can't begin to describe, so here are a couple of pictures instead.

Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood
Picked up this game from Steam this afternoon for $5. It's kinda cheesy in the animation, almost the same style as the Lego video games.
It's a single player only game, I think it'd have some great potential if it had some multiplayer capability.
The goal is to prevent the insurgents from blowing up the building that the civilians are holed up in during the allotted time.
When you cause your enemies to explode, it fills the "buckets" with blood. Kinda cheesy, but it's entertaining even at $5.

You need permission to perform this action
As I have a mix of XP and Vista desktops, and my file server is Debian using Samba for the sharing aspect, I recently ran into an issue where trying to manage files over the network share, I'd get the error 'You need permission to perform this action'. I have full administrative rights on my account, matched to the credentials on the smb server.
A quick google search reports that if UAC is enabled, this isn't a problem. I disable UAC however because it's annoying.
The problem is that Samba is obeying the DOS attribute flag, and not allowing Vista to manage the files.
All that is needed to fix this, is tell samba to not store the DOS attribute flag in your smb.conf.
store dos attributes = no
restart samba, and now you can manage your files again without being told you need permission to perform this action.

MS Walk 2009
My wife is participating in this years MS Walk in Salt Lake City.
As she is afflicted with MS, she wants to give back what she can.
Her donation page is here for those interested in helping her reach her donation goal.
Sadly, I won't be participating as it's about a 3 mile walk, and having recent knee surgery it would be too much while it's healing.

Salty Pork
Ok, not really about food, but I needed to get the md5 from a Cisco type 5 password to attempt a remote password recovery.
sed -n 's/[ :]/_/g; s/^\(.\{1,\}\)_5_\($1$[$./0-9A-Za-z]\{27,31\}\)_*$/\1:\2/p' < cisco-device-config > passwd
this little snippet will at least extract the password into a format that john or C&A can then attempt to retrieve.
