sexyDancer- I sniff haughtily about the presence of the CD bonus tracks violating the integrity of the original album.

to caek: not to blow my own horn too much (but hell it is the braggin' thread) I think that you will hear the album with a different sense of the band's priorities / context / process / technique after reading my book. By way of comparison, I don't give a shit about Elvis Costello but I am sure glad that I read Frankling Bruno's book about him, and it is my sincere hope that this book could work for non-fans in a similar way.

Sounds rad, thanks. I really liked your writing about Sweet Home Alabama in Yeti (that was you, right? I don't have my copy to hand), and I know its an album I should think about more even if I never learn to love it, so I will definitely pick up a copy of your book.

might be shortly working for a big company again getting six figures and change plus TEN PERCENT SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL just because I'm a night owl

El Tomboto, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:11 (sixteen years ago) link

sorry if that's TMI but it's the only thing I have right now that's BRAGGIN material

also I need to change the thread title, no?

El Tomboto, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:11 (sixteen years ago) link

I love job interviews where the salary range is like 1/2 of minimum salary. WOW I COULD BE MAKING 70 OR 110 I SHOULD GO! Of course, they never intend to offer anyone the high end

I once lived with a bass fabled to eat nachos.

bell_labs, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:31 (sixteen years ago) link

remy you know I like you mang but the reason you don't brag is because you have the WORST LUCK IN AMERICA

you could brag about surviving all the ridiculous shit you've been through since you enrolled @ college

El Tomboto, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link

if you just put ACTIVE TS/SCI CLEARANCE on the top of your resume and things like "arcsight" "encase forensic" and "snort/tcpdump" at the bottom you will get about 100 phone calls and e-mails per week starting from the minute you post that shit to monster

SNORT DUMP

El Tomboto, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:38 (sixteen years ago) link

I've been using snort since I was in high school :/

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:40 (sixteen years ago) link

"using" = "using other people's rules"

but I know tcpdump!

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:40 (sixteen years ago) link

The other stuff.... not so much

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

My band got asked to open for Times New Viking and Psychedelic Horseshit in Chicago on March 08. Not much to brag about, really, but I'm pretty smitten with both groups right now.

Trip Maker, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:47 (sixteen years ago) link

who's yr band trip?

chicago kevin, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:49 (sixteen years ago) link

the other stuff requires somebody to pay $$$$$$ for licenses so you can play around with it. arcsight & encase are kind of like the SAP/Oracle enterprise shit of the computer security & forensics world

El Tomboto, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:50 (sixteen years ago) link

writing snort rules is easy! I wish commercial IDS vendors would build in parsers and compilers to convert snort to whatever their proprietary format is, fucking mcafee

El Tomboto, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:51 (sixteen years ago) link

ENTERPRISE SHIT
SPOCK POOP

Mr. Que, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:51 (sixteen years ago) link

Psychedelic Horseshit is great but not as awesome as their bassist's side project!! pink reason was TIGHT when they played here

El Tomboto, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:52 (sixteen years ago) link

My band is called Cave. I agree with Tombot's assessment about Psych Horseshit and Pink Reason.

Trip Maker, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:54 (sixteen years ago) link

i have issues with pink reason.

Got invited to san francisco for weekend to meet with indie label owner and TALK BUSINESS

caek, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:56 (sixteen years ago) link

Honestly, I havent' kept up with computer security products since early college. But I know all sorts of stuff about TCP/IP and UNIX internals now too.

(and lots more about shitty dynamically typed languages)

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 11 January 2008 21:56 (sixteen years ago) link

I've never seen PH or PR live but I've seen TNV a couple times.
Pink Reason has been completely absorbed by Horseshit at this point, he retired the project.

Trip Maker, Friday, 11 January 2008 22:00 (sixteen years ago) link

I can live with PR but I really liked Psych H when I saw them!! Like, surprisingly, since I wasn't expecting to based on the name! That was a really fun night.

Laurel, Friday, 11 January 2008 22:04 (sixteen years ago) link

i saw tnv twice and they didn't do much for me live. like that "need more money 'cause i need more drugs" 7", really catchy.
