First wrote about this stuff this morning before breakfast but lost it due to mobile web browsers. Up early today, went to bed early last night as ken and I were up all night thursday working some kinks out of the shmoocon network.

Overall shmoocon labs went well. More done this year overall than last. I don’t think there’s a great solution to the fact that a number of groups can’t get going until the network group gets them online, which tends to delay the pretty things like network monitoring. Next year we should have a small router like a linksys or whatnot and some cables ready to go for internet access for the groups and replace it in stages while the real network comes online.

I wonder if I can get my tethering on my tilt working in linux so I could hook it to a soekris and make a stompbox on short notice.

I caught a funny article in a paper while wandering around this morning about how many people copy others online dating profiles or portions thereof for themselves. The article provided a number of examples in which people had taken quips or even entire paragraphs or poems from others. I have the benefit of having written about myself in some form online for many years, so writing a profile comes pretty easy to me now, more so since i’ve put time into writing and revamping an okcupid profile. It’s interesting that in online dating coming off funny or interesting is important, as I still assume that most to the world operates as the people around me did in high school.

I’ve thought and written a bunch about stereotyping lately. People are waking up though,
