A Few Thoughts
Categories: Life
Been a long time since I posted something.
Had a few thoughts/ideas that have been running through my head lately.
Thought I might share them.
No one, no one on the face of the earth, deserves to be king.
The worst thing to happen to someone is the worst thing to happen to them; ever. To belittle them or their pain for that fact is a sickening display of pride.
Most people, even bad people, don't think of themselves as bad.
OK
That was deep thoughts with Jamie Poitra.
Sort of like Jack Handy but less funny or ironic.
Or something.

Installing Wireshark on OS X
Categories: Technology
I wrote a blog post awhile back on getting Ethereal setup on your computer. It used to be a very long drawn out process but things are much better now so I thought I would write up some quick directions again.
As some of you may know Ethereal has been superseded by a project called Wireshark. The new project has already been ported by the people at MacPorts (formerly DarwinPorts). The MacPorts version of Wireshark will compile itself for your specific processor so it works on PowerPC and Intel macs and doesn't require any of the hand-holding that the previous versions of Ethereal required.
To start you will want to follow the installation instructions found on the MacPorts site. I would then go and install the update to X11 that Apple recently released. It fixes some font issues that made previous versions a little wacky.
Then you will want to compile and install Wireshark by launching your Terminal application and typing in sudo port install wireshark and pressing Return. You will be prompted for your admin password and MacPorts will likely list some dependencies (other software that Wireshark needs in order to work). Just follow the prompts always saying yes to MacPorts' questions. Just as before the compile will likely take awhile. Once its done simply launch X11 from your utilities folder, type sudo /opt/local/bin/wireshark, and press Return.
Thats it. Wireshark works in basically the same way as Ethereal did so you will have very little to relearn.

Sleep

Sleep is for the weak... or something equally silly.
