Cruzin for a Bruisin

Great weekend in Santa Cruz. Kicked it off on Friday with a quick, dark ride with local legend Jeff Kendall-Weed. No really, it was dark. The light ran out somewhere while inside of mailboxes, and being the rookie that I am, had no lights. Luckily Jeff had some which helped me get down without injury. Thanks man!

Sunday, Oct 21st, 2012. I have not ridden my bike. I can feel my sanity slipping away.

The 6 Month Festival

πŸ–ŠοΈ ⌚ πŸ”– Cycling πŸ’¬ 0

6 months. 11 races. Countless rivers, towns,  mountains and hours listing to Metallica in the car. A few too many tight corners and occasionally, one too many beers. The 2012 season was the kind of stuff that you live for, and today was my last day. After graduating from SOU last year I moved to Fairfax, CA where I lived until April when I decided a summer in the PNW was just too good to give up. And it was. The main focus of my time here consisted of racing bikes and good stuff that goes along with that.

Fun and Trickery with the Kippo SSH Honeypot

πŸ–ŠοΈ ⌚ πŸ”– Linux Technology πŸ’¬ 4

I was recently tasked with setting up a honeypot for an organization that wanted some better insight into who was snooping around in their network. For those of you too lazy to read, what is a honeypot? Well remember in 3rd grade when we made leprechaun traps out of shoeboxes that usually consisted of some elaborate setup to trick the little men into thinking they were getting their hands on a pot β€˜o gold? Well think of it like that, except with computers. And networks. And hackers, espionage, subterfuge… etc. Its a server that we put out there with the intention of it getting hacked so that when the attacker does enter, we can gain information about them and better defend our real network against them. Basically:

Moved to Fairfax!

1988 was a good year and last weekend brought 23 years since then of me walking this planet. As my friend Matt told me, growing old is a privilege and I’m happy to have made it this far.

I’ve been spending more time you youtube lately, especially on Mondays while I recover from the weekend races. Here are a couple of bike related videos that really had me glued to the screen.

Let Me Go!

I’ve been trapped in the terrible place known as finals week for too long, finally I’ve been let go. This quarter is behind me, for better or for worse. Just wanted to share a song real quick that I thought was really good, Let Me Go by Phantogram.

Copy Contents of one S3 Bucket to Another.

πŸ–ŠοΈ ⌚ πŸ”– code πŸ’¬ 12

Need to automate copying files from one Amazon S3 bucket to another? So did I. Everything I found on google, like this, was useless. Most of the scripts I found required downloading the objects first to the local machine and then reuploading them to the destination bucket. Unacceptable, especially if you are dealing with a large and or many files.
