I use https://www.linkedin.com to keep track of people I know or think might be useful contacts in the future. I have 59 linkedin contacts. 59 is a good number and can connect me to a large number of people in the security industry. Some of the people I am linked to have 400 people in there linkedin list. I experience a new emotion today, linkedin elitism. I looked at a possible contact from university and turned up my nose because he only has ONE connection in his linkedin list. Am I a bad person?

I just upgraded the CPU in my file server. This is the one I pulled out. Looks like I wasn’t runnning it at full speed. I blew a motherboard a few months back and had to buy a new one. Since i assumed that the motherboard would run the CPU at the correct speed I left it set at a FSB of 100. Which gave me a speed of 1Ghz. I could have been running it at FSB 133 which would have given me its proper speed of 1.4 Ghz. |

So after looking up the info on the CPU I got the following 27016 is an athalon thunderbird A=Athlon desktop power consumption 1400= 1400 Mhz speed A= PGA/CPGA M = 1.75 core voltage S = 95’C die temperature 3 = 256 k L2 cache C = FsB of 266 (x2 multiplier) Board speed is 133 Mhz (x2) AYHJA = athalon Padmino Core ?? 01 = 2001 36 = week 36 I should have taken a photo of the new chip but that didn’t occur to me till after putting it in the socket, themeral compound and the heat sink. From New egg it should be a AMD Sempron 2800+ |

I handed in my notice yesterday. 🙂
Looks like my psion 5 is on its last legs. It keeps rebooting. I am guessing a ribbon cable or a short somewhere. I took it apart and there are two plasic lugs that the hinges for the screen connect are broken as well.
So does anyone have one sitting in a cupboard somewhere that they are not using and would be interested in parting with? 9 Years isn’t bad for a piece of electronics.
I was having a discussion with a coworker about the age of programmers/it geeks. To me it seems that there is a generation geek that were born say 1970-1985 that grew up with computers that you had to work to use. As I go to conferences and places like defcon I tend to see the same people only each year they are getting older. I don’t think there is as many younger people getting in to the security space. After reading this https://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/28/2236239&from=rss I am wondering how many people will be interested enough in programming to choose it as a career.
