K.C.'s Garage

Several months ago I visited a decomissioned milk packaging plant that I once worked in as an IT engineer.  Unfortunatly, by the time I dropped by most of the interesting stuff had been removed. Though it looks like the Kool-Aid Man had gone on a rampage just before I got there!

I took Kim to New York City for her birthday this year. We stayed in an inexpensive hole-in-the-wall (read: cash only, up front) hotel in the East Village. It was a lot of fun! Here's my photos from the trip: Kim's photos can be found at http://picasaweb.google.com/nonfucious/NewYorkCityOctober2008

Some time ago I needed an automated way to get the certificate DN, signing cert DN, and expiration date from a bunch of SSL web servers. I couldn't find a free tool out there to do that, so I hacked up this script in python. You provide it the IP address and it connects, retrieves the aforementioned information, and spits it out. There isn't any error handling &etc, but I thought someone else might find it helpful. Or use it as a starting point for something more advanced. It requires the M2Crypto library, since the built-in SSL library for python is SORELY LACKING in functionality. EDIT: 2010.01.26 - Fixed broken link caused by new hosting provider! Grab it here: sslprobe.python

Just an empty warehouse in an industrial area of Atlanta.  This place has apparently been empty for about a decade, and has been well decorated with graffiti.  Oddly, around some corners and off an empty showroom is a small room with two immaculate, untouched shower models.

Kim offered to buy me a tandem skydive for my birthday last year. It took me this long to get up the courage to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. :)

For sale: One former car battery manufacturing plant. Some cleanup required.

So several months back I posted some exterior shots of an abandoned winery that I discovered on the South side of Atlanta. Well, some time later as I was driving by I noticed the place was wide open - doors and all - so I stopped by and snapped some photos of the inside.
