Aircrack NG on iwl3945
The iwl3945 would not go into monitor mode as easily as some of the
documentation says.
To get this to work, I had to go through a peculiar set of steps.
Notice the changing argument, wlan0 or wifi0.
1. airmon-ng stop wlan0
( will say “monitor mode disabled)
2. airmon-ng stop wifi0
(will say nothing much)
3. airmon-ng start wlan0
(now it agrees to go into monitor mode:
(Monitor mode enabled on mon0)

Keep Spiders and Bots from clicking links & pushing buttons (Ruby)
Here is a useful function to detect, in your controller, when a bot or web spider is clicking your links and pushing your buttons.Place this in helpers/my_helper.rb (use your own controller name obviously).
def MyHelper.is_bot?(request)
request.user_agent.downcase =~ /bot|slurp|spider|crawl/
end
Simple enough, but useful.
In my case, on a site i’ve been building, www.movie-cat.tv, the googlebot was coming through and marking all movies as “unavailable” through a simple crawl. If the bot is detected, the controller should not mark the movie unavailable, instead return before performing some action. This solved it.
GoogleBot, MSNBot, Yahoo Slurp, BaiduSpider. Modify the regex by adding any other bots you want to exclude, and separating them with a pipe “|”.

Curvy women may be a clever bet
Women with curvy figures are likely to be brighter than waif-like counterparts and may well produce more intelligent offspring, a US study suggests.

DO my homework?
Can someone please just do my homework for me? Off to the library so hopefully I can go to Steve’s party tonight. Hopefully…. Last night was spent in front of the computer, all night. Midnight Friday due date projects suck.

I intend to write a post to rebut some contentious blog posts about my man Obama, but it will have to wait till Tueday.
