[RIT] Humans vs Zombies - Day 1

I received my first email last night at 12:00AM.

-Attention all Students, arm yourselves immediately!

I was working on a lab experiment when I was stumbled upon a virus that, when infected, turns a human into…A ZOMBIE!

The virus has escaped and has already infected humans, it can spread by a mere touch, so be on the lookout.

I am currently working on a plan, and will be sending more information at 10pm Monday night.

Until then, stay safe and be on watch

Spring Break and the Past Month

So, I've been away for like, 2 months. By "away" I mean "too lazy to post anything" so basically here's what's gone on:

I'm still playing my drums. I'll record something later so you can hear my new beatz :D There a ton better and I apologize to the poor souls who had to hear that noise. Especially you, Waginator, Tyler, and Maximus.

I've also bought a bass! It's great because I can play it past quiet hours and, consequently, get more practice time in. It's an Ibanez.. something or other. Honestly, I've had it for over a month now and I really should pay more attention to that sort of thing but I don't really care!

I'm on Spring break and my car is dead. Luckily it was only 25 miles from home on my way here from RIT. So basically I've been sitting on my couch playing bass, facebooking, and eating sandwiches because I'm too lazy to cook. I've got an idea for a TCP/IP hack and I'll post it tomorrow and do some research to find out if I had a good, original idea or if someone's already beat me to it.

I've got Linux (Ubuntu) on my laptop and I'm bringing my server and another box back to school with me so look for more here soon on network security related stuff :)

Oh, and George Hotz has officially left RIT to cross the country in his hippy van. Good luck, George! We'll always have that manhug <3 roflcopter.

Drums: I've got them!

I was bored and feeling musically inclined so I decided to buy a drum set. Hardly ever played drums before in my life, but what the hell; they can't be that hard, right?

WRONG.

I now realise how uncoordinated I am and how much limb independency drummers need. And trying to get my new drums tuned was a pain in the ass to begin with!

But at least they're an intuitive instrument. I also play the trombone and when I first picked it up, I couldn't tell you slide positions or anything. I could name each of my drums before I even bought the set! (I'm thinking about naming my snare (the one I bang the most) Mary. Or not.)

I've gotta take pictures still but here's a poorly recorded sound sample of someone (me) trying to play these beasts. (Pardon the suck lol).

New Years

Madness? This is NYC!

So I drove to NYC and watched the ball drop from Times Square. It was amazing! George, Leslie, Felicia, and myself managed to lifehack our way through the horde of New York City's finest into the third group back from the ball.

Pros
- The trip as a whole was fun.
- I got to hang out with my friends
- I saw the ball drop in person
- Gave me a great story to tell how I got past the police ( which I won't be posting here out of concern for our national security)
- I got to ride the fucking train! (Vermont doesn't have many trains)
- George's mom made us muffins and nachos for breakfast the next day
- Running down the streets of NYC like jackasses. ("TO NEW JERSEY!!")

Cons
- It was chilly
- I wasn't sure if the liquid I was stepping in was water, soda, blood, alcohol, urine, or any combination of the aforementioned
- The ball was TINY
- I went off the road on my way back to Vermont trying to get through a killer snowstorm

Great trip. I can definately wait a few years before doing it again!
