It worked! I got a buffer overflow to work! Wh00t!

It was from Aleph One’s article, but still… it worked!

The spot in Simi where they have the carnival was aflame this morning when I was driving out to donuts. The police were shutting down the freeway, and it looked like they were just going to let it burn itself out… There was a strong wind, blowing toward the highway, so it was unlikely to spread anywhere but toward the pavement…

It was gorgeous… really touched my inner arsonist. I wanted to stop on the side of the road and watch for a while (three other cars already had), but I’m too much the law abider…

I just got a backchannel telnet connection working… That’s when the server connects to you via telnet, which would bypass some firewall rules. Kinda neat. Now if I could only get an exploit to work, I’d be groovin’.

I drove out through Hidden Valley, down Kannan and along the PCH to ventura… Then I came back, took a shower, and pulled off my 1337-0 hax0ring. My knee is about to pop off, though… Ugh.

There was just something wrong with my flashlight this morning at about 7am. It just wouldn’t ring right. It kept cycling through all the lines, ringing once, then moving on to the next line. I couldn’t answer the damn thing!

For some reason, my mom just didn’t get what I was saying to her… I was trying to tell her that it was broken, but she looked at me like I was crazy… Bah!

(By the way, this one wasn’t a dream… Just extreme tiredness)

I was up all last night, having quaked with James and Space. I was a GOD. We were playing Square4 for some ramp room fun and battles without the threat of ending up in the water like on 2fort5r. No matter what they threw at me, they just couldn’t bring me down in the ramp room… Of course, out in the open was a different matter.

James was getting a bit better, but he still isn’t a threat. He’s playing pyro now, my old primary class… I’ll have to show him some tricks…
