Email
Don't bother sending any more email to my old address. The only way to email me is throught the little envelope under my userpic, when you are logged in or if I gave you my address. If I email anyone with my new address and find out they gave out my email to anyone else I will break their arms.

The other option is to simply send me a postit.

Nerd Style
So yesterday before work I noticed that my shirt was inside out. The tag out the back, the seams on the outside, etc. The sad part is today I didn't notice. Then when I came home from work at 10:30PM (ya I know, damn that's a twelve hour day) (e:terry) and (e:lilho) started laughing at me because my shirt was on inside out. It makes me wonder if anyone else noticed or not. I met with so many people at work today. I am sure someone noticed. They probably just thought, "oh he is a super programmer nerd and left it at that."

As soon as I have some money ( I guess that was my old excuse) patience with shopping - I should buy all new clothes and start dressing up for work.

surebert
I also released surebert 1.45 and updated a bunch of the docs. I think it is really a great javascript toolkit with lots of useful features but I don't include a forum or wiki on the site because I don't want to deal with people asking for features and asking for help. Since I quit teaching I kind of hate those things. That is why I don't promote lots of things I do. Speaking of which, tell me if you notice anything weird after the upgrade to surebertCo 1.45 on estrip today.

I am always looking up asbestos on ebay because I am so amazed that people sell the stuff still. Is it even legal?

This one is by far the weirdest. I can't imagine who would want it and why?

The original box that contained Keene Corporation Thermasil Calcium Silicate and Asbestos Pipe Insulation from Keene Industrial Insulation, Trenton, New Jersey. The cardboard box is labeled as shown in the images. Images 7 and 8 show the item as it contain the pipe insulation. This item does not include the asbestos pipe insulation, just the box. The box will be shipped folded.

Warning: This material contains asbestos and asbestos exposure can cause asbestos-related illness. This item will be shipped wrapped in plastic.

I love how the news jumps on shit before confirming it.

Here is the story from Ars Technica

Firefox is loaded with security flaws, according to a hacker duo that presented at this year's ToorCon. Mischa Spiegelmock and Andrew Wbeelsoi used a session at the show to highlight what they have called "a complete mess" that is "impossible to patch" in Firefox's JavaScript implementation. According to the pair, the implementation is home to at least 30 possible exploits, all of which they plan to keep to themselves. CNet's Joris Evers brought the story to light this past weekend, but reports are surfacing everywhere.

Here is the Mischa Spiegelmock's repsonse as posted on the mozilla developer network site.

Update: Possible Vulnerability Reported at Toorcon

We got a chance to talk to Mischa Spiegelmock, the Toorcon speaker that reported the potential javascript security issue referenced earlier. He gave us more code to work with and also made this statement and agreed to let me post it here:

The main purpose of our talk was to be humorous.

As part of our talk we mentioned that there was a previously known Firefox vulnerability that could result in a stack overflow ending up in remote code execution. However, the code we presented did not in fact do this, and I personally have not gotten it to result in code execution, nor do I know of anyone who has.

I have not succeeded in making this code do anything more than cause a crash and eat up system resources, and I certainly haven't used it to take over anyone else's computer and execute arbitrary code.

I do not have 30 undisclosed Firefox vulnerabilities, nor did I ever make this claim. I have no undisclosed Firefox vulnerabilities. The person who was speaking with me made this claim, and I honestly have no idea if he has them or not.

I apologize to everyone involved, and I hope I have made everything as clear as possible.

Sincerely,

Mischa Spiegelmock

Katie dropped off a box of letters that came to the 444. In them was a letter from UB dated Sept 21st that said they regret to inform me that I was removed from the list of graduation candidiates. So after freaking out for 5 minutes, I called them up and they said it was a mistake and that I really am graduating. I am so glad it is really over. For a minute I thought I was going to have to go back to UB. Frankly, I never want to see UB again. (e:shawnr) IMed me about something similar the other day. I wonder if his was a mistake too.

I got a new light fixture for my office at Royalite on Maple. It looks so much better now. The old one was so messed up. I switched to a new camera app for my phone, it takes such better quality pictures which proves its all in the software.

This was the old light fixture.





The new one.







We went to linens and things. We didn't use the coupon my mother gave me because it expired on Sept 6th. My mother apparently told me they accepted expired coupons but I forgot that part.



Curtains are ridiculously expensive. It is ridculous that they come in panels and not in pairs. (e:matthew) really wants this mirror but we had to draw the line somewhere


Wow the camera gets good details.
