hah Well ive toned it down a bit in recent months.

i work in the oilfield as a CnC machinist and programmer now.

i try to stay on top of current events.
recently i parted with a 42U rack enclosure full of toys as well as my commercial internet connection. basically all i was doing was working at work and then coming home and confining myself to my system.
not too healthy. so i changed a bit. trying to be more social as it were.

i AM however pretty interested still in online privacy and such.
particularly i would like to compile a good bit of information and do some research on burning those spyware/adware bastards. those people in my opinion are getting a bit out of hand regardless of legislation. so id like to develop a better mouse trap. Im also going to be looking into this trend of ISP's "spying" on their customers traffic online. I keep seeing that pop up in the news " ISP gathering information and selling it to advertisers". doesnt quite sit well with me.

lol i know i have high hopes.
but not trying is failure in itself.
