I stumbled on this video a few weeks ago and forgot about it until now.     I think it’s hilarious, but that might be because I work as tech support for a web hosting company..

From their website :

After much taping, editing, deleting, drinking and swearing we are proud to present… Sales Guy vs. Web Dude! A mashup of true and mostly-true stories from IT hell. If you’ve ever called tech support and wondered what the hell they are doing down there… well, this should answer some questions for you.

From Wikipedia:

“Niki Belucci (born March 10, 1983) is a Hungarian erotic House music DJ, often seen hosting events nearly topless, however she is also known for her childhood gymnastics achievements and her 6 months spent as a pornographic actress.”

The girl you see here?  She was a porn star.  Maybe not an extremely famous porn star, but one none the less.  Now, she’s a (usually-topless) DJ.

I’ve only started listening to a few of her mixes so I can’t comment on whether or not she’s any good.   I would probably go just to watch her though.

Down and Out by Tantric is probably one of the best songs I’ve heard lately.   The album, The End Begins, is supposed to be released April 22, 2008.

Edit: Updated youtube video since the previous one was no longer available. - 04/08/08

The whole album is actually pretty nice.  Here’s the rest of the tracklist:

1. “Regret”
2. “Down and Out”
3. “The One”
4. “Love Song”
5. “Wishing”
6. “Something Better”
7. “Lucky One”
8. “The End Begins”
9. “Monopoly”
10. “Why Don’t You”
11. “Lay”

If you get a chance to listen to the Promo, you should.

I told my friend Levi I’d post a video of him and his sister covering Anyone Else But You by The Moldy Peaches, so here it is.

If you like it, please give it a good rating or at least comment.

Do you use Microsoft Window’s Bitlocker?   TrueCrypt?  DMCrypt?  Or whatever the hell Apple calls their disk encryption?

If you do.  Here’s something for you to think about.   That encryption key is more vulnerable than you probably realize.  It’s always going to be sitting somewhere in your ram while you’re logged onto your system.  If you put your machine to sleep, it’s going to be there.   Even if you completely power off your laptop/computer, it will still be sitting in that ram chip for at least a little while.

This video demonstrates an attack against Bitlocker:

Want to feel safe again?

• Always shutdown your computer.  Not sleep,hibernate, or any other lowpower state.
• Find a program to scramble your ram on shutdown.
• Don’t use liquid nitrogen to cool your ram.
• Reevaluate your encryption needs, because most likely you don’t need to encrypt the WHOLE disk.  If you’re using linux; look into setting up encryption per user per their home folder.

I haven’t posted anything for a few weeks probably.   I randomly saw this on youtube and thought it was worth posting.

Also.  If anyone is interested in working on a zombie-oriented website/project (zombiebait.org) with us, drop me a line at zbait@thesh17.com.   You’ll be paid for your efforts.

 Not a prank call this time, but still hilarious.  The guy basically stabs himself with the sword hes trying to sell.
