2600

The latest issue (19:3) of 2600 came in the mail yesterday along with Freedom Downtime. The movie is really good but I must say that I recommend reading The Fugitive Game first.

If you have seen the movie Takedown, then there is no excuse for not watching Freedom Downtime to see the truth about the 91 minutes and 42 seconds or crap you sat through.

Oh, and on the back of Freedom Downtime, there’s a message that says “free and unaltered broadcasting, netcasting, and copying are encourage”. So I might rip it.

PHP!

Some of you may notice that you are now viewing home.php! No more .htm! Gasp!
This is because that old javascript randomizer I had for the upper banner was about as random as jacob is done with his site (not very) so, I replaced it with a php script (hence the .php extension)! Now, why php can generate a random number 1-9 better than javascript can, don’t ask me but the .php extension will also lead us to greater and…better stuff.

To celebrate the phpness of the site, I’ve added two new banners for a grand total of nine. See if you can guess what they are (not hard).

Oh, and merry Halloween.

review, books

Mitnick

I just finished read The Fugitive Game by Jon Littman tonight. It’s a very good read and I’d recommend it to anybody interested in Kevin Mitnick, computing history, or hacking in general. It really does a great job of seperating fact from fiction and dismissing all the media hype that followed the case. To go along with the book, I decided to order 2600’s movie Freedom Downtime for $20. I think that’ll be interesting.

Oh! Has anybody else heard the latest edition of Off the Hook (Oct. 16th, I believe)? It was a 2 hour special featuring Mitnick. Go. Download. Now.
