old Macs never die...
Yesterday I was wondering why my old Mac LC475 was getting soooooo many visitors… it seemed as if it got about 300 visitors in one day!
You have to put this a little bit into perspective, normally the beautiful LC475 gets around 2-3 visitors a day, but then again, it hardly draws any energy.

It seemed there has been a mentioning on MacInTouch of the 68K Macintosh Webserver Directory on which my LC475 is also linked…
It’ll probably the reason half of the 68K-webservers is down at the moment (or not responding fast enough with soooo much traffic coming at them ;-) )
Anyway, my LC (named Elsie ;-)) still humms away pretty nicely…

Bluetooth Car Whispering
Today, it’s all over the news, for instance on /., Injecting Audio Into Insecure Bluetooth Handsets
Anyways, this was a presentation I attended on WhatTheHack last friday and it was quite a presentation :-)

Here you can see someone holding a BT-headset to the microphone, it didn’t work to actually let the headset play something but all of a sudden, there was a recording made through this headset on the speaker’s laptop (bad ass magic!) :-)
Well, for those interested, I made some more pictures, starting here (use the next-button to navigate through the pictures, pics 32 through 40 are from this demonstration)
...is it a bird? is it a plane? noooo...
...it’s MightyMouse!
...really, I’m not kidding… and as far as I know it’s not April’s Foolsday either… (Apple’s Foolsday maybe?)

I’m sure it’s a good product but couldn’t they’ve come up with another name? I’m mean, come on!
Oh, before I forget, Apple’s MightyMouse Productpage ...
some wonderful jazz
I just downloaded this and playing it at this moment, but put it on repeat since it’s one wonderful jazz-record (well, part of it):

These are only 10 of the 26 tracks on this soundtrack by Miles Davis. Let’s see if I can get my hands on the original (this on vinyl would be great!).
as you may notice, I am still in a very relaxed mood, even two days after WTH, did I already mention it’s been great? ;-)

What a great days it have been. I met wonderful people, saw very interesting lectures and had a whole bunch of good fun, my traintrip back was a breeze, just listening to my iPod and overthinking the last couple of days with a big smile on my face…
on the picture you see (not even) all of the stuff I got/bought on WhatTheHack (or already had, like the hat and ibook), from left to right(and top to bottom), a Chaos Computer Club-sweater, two OpenBSD-t-shirts, my own personalized t-shirt and on the bottom, my red spa-bottle I continuously filled with non-drinkable water, the official program, my hardcopy of Phrack-magazine(yeeeeeee!), my hat&armband and my modded ibook(which survived it all!) and in front of the Phrack-magazine, the money I have left, 8 euros and 85 cents :-) The money I spent has been worth every penny at least triple.
BTW, all the hardware I brought, survived!. It’s been some wet days, and none of my stuff got stolen, even better, I never felt so safe in public about my gear, I left my ibook (and other stuff too) on the table as I slept and the last thing I heard, nothing got stolen during the whole conference! So, how about that? It’s been brilliant, the conference, the people, the 24h-tostibar, everything! (and now I’m gonna take a shower ;-))
...and for the last time, I updated the WTH-photogallery, I suggest you check the WhatTheSlideshow!:-)

And then something? I got myself a personalized t-shirt! with geektechnique.org on the front…
