I'm back again (my confesion)

I am back guy and I have a long story to go with it so bear with me on this one.

Our loyal l33t tech teacher Mr. Takemoto was a cool teacher. We had our own personal linux boxes set up and we could jam the net and whatever we wanted to do all day as long as we learned and did work. So manly I post from school (we got dial up at home) (though my neighbor has roadruner and an unsecure belkin54g, but thats another story). Takemoto left us for another school far far away. and now we are left with 2 weeks worth of subs (who don't even know the first thing about computers)( and an empty classroom) today we have teacher coming in who is hopefully A+ and ccna.
Now here come the confession part (why did I not post all summer) two things.
First: I did not do so hot in school so I was grounded heavily all summer
Second: My mom discovered dial-up blocks the phone line when you go on so only school work is alowwed and my mom sits and watches you and questions every thing and she always thinks she right so I had to shut down many times even though I was legit.

Well gotta go to calculus 1st period I will post back at lunch if I can.

Welcome back w00t! You were missed, believe me.

Sorry to hear about the dial up and groundings. I know how that can be, unfortunately.

Hehe, isn't it ironic how poeple who virtually nothing about computers never trust anyone who does?

Welcome back w00t...I know how parents who know nothing about computers can be ("I don't want a webcam in our house. I hear pedophiles use them to stalk kids" [I have a webcam in the form of an 80's RCA camcorder and a video capture card]).

Yes this summer was odd. Thank all of you for welcoming me back.

That web cam of yours fox, I have many projects like that in my room, (my mom does not want a web server or samba server in room because "hackers can get personal family stuff" So I have an old P2 running samba and apache to host my files. (doesn't look like a server to my mom)


Oh my first hijack since im back

I have a new project now (actually i did it in calculus yesterday cause we had a sub) I set up an ib00k to do ad hoc networking and set up web sharing and I have a blog that I update every so often. A couple people with pda's read it unfourtunatly only 1 (my freind) understood anything I posted most of it was code i wrote on paper over the summer.

Welcome Back w00t!!!

I know how parents are also...... my mom saw me on FedoraForum trying to learn how to install things using "yum", and she made me get off asking me who I was talking to .

You're lucky to post at school, I could but I would have to get my parents to sign this sheet, and my mom doesn't even know I'm on a forum

Hijack: My computer science teacher seriously thinks we do not know how to use MS Word. I mean, seriously; we all were like "[i] use Word at least once a week" and he's teaching us stuff like cut and paste, how to use the scroll bar, how to undo and redo and such but he's like, "Well what did you learn today?"

even worse we have a new networking teacher and this dude is a total noob with no certs, Me and my hacker budies know 10x what this guy knows. And he has all the power in the class. The deadline to transer out was last friday.
He will suffer for his crimes; we have ways to break him anyone up to a round of switching the teachers mouse buttons. Scripts are so fun
