Haha, no, I don't know anyone related to DEFCON whatsoever. I just thought it'd be awesome to read about satellite hacking in some future post.

What impresses me most is that you can just upload patches to orbiting satellites. Sounds like a party for the next DEFCON...

My personal favorite error came from the game Wing Commander III, which had such high system requirements that I used its installer's test app to benchmark my machine for a few years.

Sometime about when I got a 6x CD-ROM, it gave me the classic warning:

"Error: Your CD-ROM reads data faster than is possible."

Journal Journal: Dependency

Journal by ShadowcatBlue on Thursday February 03, 2005 @02:02PM

Wow, I am having a really bad day and it's not even lunch time. The sad part is, it's mostly because of my dependence on portable electronics...

...which I've left at home today on accident.

Yup, that's right, in a moment of stunning memory lapse I managed to leave both my iPod and my cell phone at home today which for some reason is driving me nuts. I'm really dependent on music while I work and not having my iPod is really getting to me.

Wow, people read random journals! Hmm...that puts pressure on me to write something interesting from time to time. (Well, considering my actual blog doesn't like my ftp anymore, that's probably not too bad.)
