Buying a K&N filter for my motorcycle and learning that a major carb work needed to be done on my bike to have it working good with the new filter.

So i dumped the K&N, back to stock, things are much better now.  

In the US of America, in the summer time, the interior of the buildings are so fscking cold, if the weather outside was that cold, they would turn on the heaters in the buildings!

I'm going to see this movie tomorrow in Washington, DC Film Festival. It should be a nice documentary about music in Turkey and especially Istanbul. I would recommend others to see it too. Here are some more info on this.

Review by Michelle Thomas

Connect the dots:

• Belgium is a country of European Union (EU).
• EU recognizes DHKP-C as a terrorist organization.
• A member of this terrorist organization assasinates people in Turkey in 96 and Belgium authorities capture her.
• Belgium never returns her to Turkey for her trial.
• Belgium lets this terrorist loose, they say: Awww, we lost her.
• Committee R who is responsible of auditing the Intelligence Service and Commitee P for auditing the Belgium police prepares a report showing that the Ex-Minister of Interior of Belgium Antoine Duquesne made a secret deal with the lawyers of the terrorist about releasing her.

War on terror please.

Why Turkey still wants to be a part of EU? What is this non-sense? Stop the negotiations already… Current government of Turkey's agenda and EU's agenda are the same. Fuck Turkey by all means… 

We never forgot how we got our independence from colonist forces after the first world war. We will never forget The treaty of Sèvres! 

Now that is interesting!

Ever wondered why you wake up just before your alarm goes ring riinnnggg? 

What's going on lately…

I recently learned that I had high cholesterol. It must be the fatty food of USA…

I
started walking from work to home at least 2-3 times a week. It is a
serious but very pleasant walk. About 2 hours long… From Foggy Bottom to Pentagon
City. 1/4 of the walk is in thecity the
rest of it is in a beautiful trail. I have some phone cam pic. I will
share them below.

Changed my diet somewhat completely. Trying to stay away from fatty shitty food, cooking more at home.

I
started to write a small perl program to create IP ranges of a given
subnet and an exclusions list. Pretty useful if you have a big subnet
and you want to exclude some IPs from nmap or vulnerability scans. Then
I got bored. I dropped it… Don't ask, it doesn't work as of now…

Currently reading The Lord of the Rings again. (3rd time) I don't think I will be able to finish it.

I coded a php snipplet to list latest comments on my blog. I need to find a spot in my blog to place this…

Here are the crappy phone pics from my walk.

I went to The Sounds concert tonight at 9:30 club in DC. We were sooo
on time that as soon as we stepped in the concert area, they started
playing.

The song lineup was:
24 Hour
Queen of Apology
Dance with me
Night after night
Hit me
Mine for life
Song with a mission
Tony the beat
Seven days a week
Painted by numbers
Living in America
Hope you're happy now
[a mini break]
Rock'n Roll
Fire
Ego

Overall it was a very very good concert. Although I expected
a bit better performance, I was very satisfied and I really am happy to
see them in DC.

We were at the very end of the crowd since we
came a bit late. But since 9:30 club is not a super big place, I
could easily see the band performing. (And Maja of course hehe)

The
crowd was a pretty sh!tty in fact… They were either people who has no
clue where they were, or bunch of early teenager girls (I mean age of
14, 15…)

At the end of the concert I had a chance to talk to Maja outside of the club, and even take couple of pictures with her That made my day! She has a great personality and no star attitude at all! She rocks!

If you are around their tour area, please go and spend an hour with them! You won't be disappointed!

I levitate sometimes…

Here I'm going to document what I have done so far and what more needs to be done…

Here is my system profile:

• 1.86 Ghz Pentium M.
• 1 GB RAM.
• 100GB HDD.
• ATI M300 Graphic Card. (128 MB)
• 15.4″ WUXGA+ LCD (1920×1200)
• DVD Burner.
• Broadcom Ethernet Card (10/100)
• Intel PRO/Wireless card.
• Dell Bluetooth integrated.
• SD/MMC reader (Ricoh)
• Touchpad (Synaptics)

Working list so far: (03/07/2006)

ATI 2D works with xorg ati drivers. Never tested 3D
Installed the factory ATI drivers 8.22.5 following this howto. Works great! (100%)
Wireless card works great with ipw2200 driver. (even the led) (100%)
Bluetooth works great (this is a usb card btw…) (100%)
Touchpad works great. (100%)

Suspend to RAM (Working on it. It suspends, but doesn't wakeup…) (20%)
Suspend to RAM is now working with the new gentoo-2.6.15-r7 kernel and
fglrx drivers! I'll put my suspend script online soon. (%100)
Ethernet works great (100%)
DVD support is OK. I can read the DVD but still cannot set the DMA. (it
is a known problem waiting to be fixed in my queue) (50%)

I will make a detailed howto for each one of them later…

TODO:

• Kismet
• e17
• DVD burning test
• DVD DMA activation.
• MMC card reader test
• ATI offical driver install

UPDATE: I had a Logitech USB camera. I wanted to try out if I
could make it work. I works perfectly with the new pwc drivers. YAY! I
also have some major updates on other stuff on the laptop. I will
compile a document soon! 

I think the movie is the best movie I've ever seen in my life. Maybe
that's the first movie I've seen for such a long time, maybe I'm sick
and tired of the world, maybe I love comics, maybe I need a hero to
change the universe because I'm a coward… But what the hell.. The
movie is awesome!

The movie has much more than it
promises… It has potential… It tells you the present and the
future in a very good way… The message of the movie is frightening,
cause it is very possible, and real…

I hope the people are smart enough to see the messages in this movie…
(I surely hope but I don't think so, for many it will be an
comic/action movie…)
