Very much awesome bookmarklet here. Irish Girl

I've been through 3 domain name registrars and haven't really liked any of them, I've tried godaddy, enom, and gandi respectively. Though godaddy was a long time ago and I'd be willing to give them another shot given the right feedback.

I actually looked around for a few minutes thinking it would be a sinch to find a new one, but I always found some reason not to go with them. So I made a list and it turns out I have quite a few factors that influence my choice for a DNS registrar.

1. NS Glue Records / Delegation (Use own DNS servers)
2. Registration Price
3. Reseller Program / API

So most of you know that before Nerdy and the Greek got ahold of me, I was an MBA student here. The group that I was in for my leadership class had a presentation today. We were supposed to give a workshop on "Discrimination in the Workplace and How to Prevent It."

My team wanted to do a Jeopardy style game as part of this presentation. Being the token nerd in the class, my job was to implement the game.

See it here in all its glory: http://lug.wsu.edu/~ben/jeopardy/

So I have a small project that I started a while back (and I mean a while) which allowed distributed brute force cracking of unix shadow passwords hashed with MD5. It is written in C and ran using MPICH 1, required a dedicated cluster and was rather not optimized. I'm planning on sitting down here soon to work on it with the following:

• Optimise the hash generator (currently slow)
• Make the source character table more easily modifable
• Enable generated hashes to save to a lookup table for future use

I often run into a situations where I need to do simple numerical calculations on large blocks of text. Or, I would just like to do a calculation and have the result added to the file I'm working on. One way to deal with these situations is to process them with Perl.

"I don't know Perl", you might be saying. Well, if you have used search/replace in Vim, you know more Perl than you think. And the template below is easy to modify for common situations.
