Crack a Master Lock – Mathematically, No Shim « Wonderment Blog.

Apparently it is possible to reduce 64,000 possible padlock combinations down to 100. From Mark Edward Campos, an incredibly clear How-To on cracking a master lock:

Looking for something a little more interactive? Loads of lock picking tutorial videos here.

Here’s a video that demonstrates the same method (math as opposed to shim):

‘Though he had spoken of the subject many times, in the silence of his room he added the kind of powerful phrasing that would not have occurred to him as he spoke, because its origins were in the collaboration of hand and pen’

Mark Helprin – from “A soldier of the great war”

This strikes me so and should strike many to whom conversation is somewhat clumsy. Of late I have found a much greater ability to express myself fully in the written word opposed to the standard face to face conversation/confrontation.

Had to post this.. just saw it fly by in my reader..

Christ’s death helps out Safeway customers

Christ

It’s good to know that all that suffering on the cross wasn’t in vain. Safeway prices really are to die for. Thanks, Jesus! Via The Denver Egotist. UPDATE: A guy at FAIL Blog is taking responsibility for this, and says it was a prank he pulled on a couple of Safeways in the Seattle area a few Easters ago.

I should have posted this on buygodslove.com.. heh

Well, since Office died on me the other day.. I’m getting used to OpenOffice, a free replacement for office, available at http://openoffice.org . Since Outlook is also a part of office, I am trying out Thunderbird as well.. If only the linux box was up… Anyway, the A/V scan for 2 drives has been going for about 6 hours and is still on the startup drive. Storage scares me a bit; I have a 1.5T drive around somewhere that I planned on tossing in this machine but with 5 drives already I’m thinking it a bad idea. The box that will eventually be the file server is an older dual p3 with fast drives and an approx. weight of about 80 pounds.. It is still in storage. Anyway, that is what the comp is doing today..

So, after a long couch-less time we went and got some more stuff from storage for the apt. James was by this am and complained about the visitor seating.. i figured that the more discomfort.. the shorter visit.. heh now I have my couch.. if anyone i know reads this.. don’t get any ideas..;)
