Wireless Security: WEP is dead?

I just got finished reading the article How to keep your wi-fi network safe. It basically states that WEP (Wireless Equivalent Protection) is outdated and very insecure.

I’m not a security expert, but most wireless networks I come across either have NO security or 64 bit WEP. I probably run into about 30 or more business and organizations that have wireless networks a month, and I’ve only come across one that had WPA encryption.

How safe are we? I will attempt to break my own key in a lab with the tools that find off of google.

One more thing, if this is all true, why is WEP still offered in wireless routers and other equipment?

Quest for the “Hot Fuzz”: May 4th

Hot Fuzz

I was recently outraged to see “Hot Fuzz” being done like “Children of Men”. So, I started emailing my local theaters since none of them were planning on showing “Hot Fuzz” the movie.

My question was:

Why isn’t Hot Fuzz showing in my area?

Malco’s Response:

Although bookings are subject to change, we currently expect HOT FUZZ to open at several addition locations on May 4th.

Thanks for your interest.

Best Regards,

Alan

LIPTON Diet White Tea with Raspberry = Awesome

I’m a big fan of the Lipton’s diet green tea. Recently at my local Wal-Mart they either refuse to sell the diet green tea or people tend to buy it more than the regular stuff.

White Tea Fans

I saw the new “White Tea” on the selves for about two weeks now. It looked like piss in a bottle, but so does the green tea.

This weekend my girlfriend and I were buying food at wally world and when we got to the check-out she pointed out the white tea with raspberry. So, I got it and tried it and now the tea is under the “awesome stuff” category in my blog.

If you are hesitant to try the new white tea like I was, don’t be… you’re just wasting good tea time :)

Programming Update: My MCAD Journey

It’s been over two weeks since I received my books on the MCAD exam. I’ve read about a 1/4 of the book. A lot of it is stuff I already knew. Most of the stuff I learned through C++ in college. The rest of it is from experience.

The book is published by Microsoft Press. Its written by Matthew A. Stoecker. The time line to read this book and take three exams to be a MCP looks a littler harder now. There is over 500 pages in this book and I’m sitting on page 123. I do know I got to keep my goals small enough to accomplish something much larger.
