  1. Hey, Vlad...*coughs*... I mean Rick Hadn't heard from you in a while. Anything new goin' on with you? If all goes well, I should graduate in May.
  2. Hey Red, if you're still looking for reading suggestions I came across this list at the OpinionatedGeek blog while looking for something else. "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman seemed interesting at first, especially given that cognitive bias came up in another thread, but then I read this review that made the book sound rather flawed. Still, it might be worth reading...I've just been too busy to investigate it further.
  3. Taking a break from doing research for my Capstone Project (what we do instead of a thesis here). I'll be very busy for the next 4 months :P

      Thanks guys. I just turned in the Literature Review section today, so I'm nearly halfway done.

  4. I heard "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" while we were eating out today...I'm surprised I've managed to avoid hearing it for so long ;D
  5. I'm done with class for this year; just waiting for my final grade for the last class to be posted.

  6. I was listening to the extended version of this yesterday while I was finishing a lab report:
  7. Taking a break from assignments while Flash Player downloads...I'm ony half-way through this class & I'm already looking forward to the day it ends (Dec. 16th) :o

      Keep on keeping on! So far so good over here too. Straight A's on my midterm. I am pretty sure I am going to get a refund on the Printmaking class I had to bail out of too...the guy still gave me a B on the midterm though I withdrew. Never even told us how to use the equipment safely either and burnt himself as well. The guy was a nut, I swear he was high a couple of times.  O.o

  9. Just finished reading this... Hillary's Security Detail Hated Her So Much That They Laughed When She Fell and Broke Her Arm https://pjmedia.com/trending/2016/10/20/hillarys-security-detail-hated-her-so-much-that-they-laughed-when-she-fell-and-broke-her-arm/ Hmm...this is very consistent with some of the observations Gary J. Byrne shared in "Crisis of Character".
  10. Classes are still keeping me very busy...

      I believe it.  Keep up the good work!

  11. The topic of the week (in class) is covert channels, so these were on our reading list: Steganography and Smart Phones http://www.forensicmag.com/article/2012/02/steganography-and-smart-phones Covert Channels Over Social Networks http://www.sans.org/reading-room/whitepapers/threats/covert-channels-social-networks-33960 And I still haven't gotten around to reading "Takedown Twenty" by Janet Evanovich -- or anything after that in the series, for that matter
  12. [Edit Note: Stunning revelations, news, commentaries, reviews, eceterra across the net - it will be all here. - Red Stranger.] I shared this at FUS and thought y'all might find it interesting too... What's up With: Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM Cartoon! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1A77GkEpiQ
  13. I picked up a book called "Drawing Basics and Video Game Art" by Chris Solarski. When I first saw it, I was tempted to dismiss it as fluff, but flipping through it proved it was anything but--and I ended up buying it (25$ U.S.). It covers everything from perspective to character design.
  14. My recent reading has consisted of copious amounts of cybersecurity articles & chapters from "Data Hiding" by Michael Raggo & Chet Hosmer. For example, these were on this week's reading list: Kessler Steganography http://www.garykessler.net/library/fsc_stego.html Case of the Missing Code http://www.salon.com/2002/07/17/steganography/ Guess what this week's topic is...
  15. Fall classes started this week...here I go again :P

  16. Ironic, indeed. >.< *changes the subject* I just read a rather disturbing article about a major leak that involves Microsoft: Microsoft accidentally leaks golden keys that unlock every Windows device
  17. Hiyas! Welcome to the forums...hope you enjoy posting here. Way cool avatar ya got there ^.^
  18. Hiyas! Welcome to forums! I'm big big Souls fan too...have you seen VaatiVidya's lore videos? Antibotic resistance sounds like an interesting (and very relevant) subject for a research project. I'm currently working on a Master's in Cyber-Security, so it seems like I am having to research -something- every time I turn around Hope you enjoy posting here and good luck with those PhD programs!
  19. Just submitted another lab report.Only one more week left in this class...then the Fall semester starts -.-

      How many more semesters do you have to take?

       

  20. A release date for Persona 5 in North America has been announced...February 14th. ... Yeah, we're getting it on Valentine's Day o.O;
  21. Do you remember the Monica Lewinsky scandal? There were a few incidents which pertained to that, including the numerous times White House staff helped her dodge security so she could "spend time" with Bill Clinton. And she wasn't the only woman he saw behind closed doors. {Edit: speaking of Monica, I found an interesting and somewhat recent article about her; apparently she helps out at anti-bullying organizations now. Monica Lewinsky: ‘The shame sticks to you like tar’
  22. *dances around the forum because she finished her lab report early & is in a good mood*

  23. I managed to read "Crisis of Character" by Gary J. Byrne last week (after storms took out the power over here temporarily). It was a very interesting account of Mr. Byrne's time with the Uniform Division of the Secret Service and the Federal Air Marshals (FAM); he witnessed some very disturbing things going on at the White House during the years that the Clintons were there O.O; Other than, I've been reading mostly stuff for class... http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators.html DEFCON 13: Google Hacking for Penetration Testers Yes, I know that's a video, but it's on our -reading- list
  24. *is glad all the nasty weather is gone...for now*
