Please do not send me any used (old) things as Mrs. bean dip would prefer this--we're trying to make some changes to our home. I like to hack on physical things these days and enjoy puzzles--if you're familiar with my crypto threads or the security fuckup thread, you get what I mean. Nothing alive or anything like that as dealing with customs is always a blast. :)

This is what I posted last year:

quote:

LIKES

- infosec, cybersecurity, cryptography, programming, etc stuff (it's my job and i post a lot about it i guess)
- stuff on older operating systems (i am writing something for mac system 7 atm using c++)
- i also code a lot in python
- classic video game consoles. i really like super nintendo-related stuff
- i also own a wii u
- i brew my own beer

DISLIKES (as in "do not send")

- anything that was once (or still is) living
- alcohol (i have a lot at home already)
- drugs
- pornography
- no. i do not like mlp
- anything large (my partner and i live in a small space and she'd probably not like large things sent to us)

I'm in British Columbia. Last year, my Santa was eschaton and he sent me some real cool poo poo. The Motorola 68k book as well as the C++ for System 7 is being used for a CTF I am working on with a few people as we speak and the Intel Compute Stick is being used to play some emulated games. :)

awesome, I'm glad you're making good use of it!

is any of your System 7 hacking happening in the open? :)

are you running Basilisk II or MAME for Mac emulation on the Compute Stick too? a USB-ADB adapter and a mouse and you could have a super fast super small 68K Mac…

nothing for the system 7 stuff is published atm but i'll probably will post it up on github at some point. i have a quadra 800 (with 128 mb of ram which is insane for this type of system) to test stuff out on :)

I have two cats and one lizard (thus I, quite literally, already have mealworms).



Here's Oliver at a previous YosMas:



Some sort of creative thing to put in the lizard cage for her to hide under would be neat. She's a leopard gecko, about two fingers wide and about as long as your hand.




I like local trinkets and similar things (even if you're from nowheresville, weird handcrafted technical stuff.

No alcohol or drug stuff please. I also already have pretty much all the Ubuntu schwag there is.

aight let's do this up good n' proper cause i just can't wait to see this little guy again


variable_h became a very sparkly person in 2014 :sparkles:
most of celexi's $300 easter present budget went to postmen in 2015 :retrogames:

here's other people being awesome at me

osi bean dip knows about hacky stuff 2015
funhilde is an artist and a chef, too bad about broken images 2014

things i like
- cooking things and then eating those things
- reading weird scifi books
- hockey stuff and construction stuff
- all nerds like tinkering with electronic things that are supposed to be assembled, programmed or adjusted in some way
- ridiculous shirts (size 40)
- bingeing on video games on steam, where i am called guywhodiesalot. if you like it and it's not a game about ethics in cartoon video game dating i'll probably like it too


things i don't do
- own pets
- maintain a place to put spare mattresses
- pay brokerage fees (i can pick up stuff at zip 13669 but the unboxing photos will suck because no loving way am i taking an unopened box of mystery goony goodness through a border crossing). parcel services are all terrible; god's own united states postal service is fine

:canada: our border services will intercept all meat and produce, most living things, weapons and anything smokable. i hate animes already but if you try to send me creepy anime kiddie crap i'm going to get a phone call from the cops and that'll make everyone feel very unchristmaslike indeed

What is the papertowel under the cave there? I have a leopard gecko as well - right now on almond substrate which is nice and soft. I need to feed soon too... I am the worst owner.
