Jima's Search Engine Fodder

I'm going to start putting stuff here that could be of interest to the world at large, and isn't otherwise indexed somewhere (as far as I can tell, anyway).

To go full circle, apparently jer_ has also put MTCFF up for the world to see.

For those who know him, my friend Ryan (Chi)'s site is infectious.cc.

There seems to be some confusion in the TMBO community about what "MTCFF" means. To summarize: Male TMBO Creepy Fuck Factor. See here for more TMBO-related abbreviations.

I finally found a single reference to Hacker #139 online. Oddly, this didn't show up on Google at all. (I found it via Yahoo.)

I was having a discussion with another sysadmin today, when he mentioned in passing something about Secure Computing Corporation. I made some off-hand reference to my "hacker #139" beanie, which evidently confused him. A quick Google made me realize that probably only a handful of people have ever heard of these things.

Back in 1997 or thereabouts, Secure Computing had some sort of open house event at their corporate headquarters (when they were still in Roseville, MN). I was merely a geek in high school, but my mother liked to promote my interest in computers, so she took me there. Among food, drinks, and promotional literature, they were giving out souvenir beanie hackers, with the company's logo and web site address on one side, and "HACKER #139" on the other. It was made up to look like a chalk outline of a late technological ne'er-do-well, presumably after mincing packets with SCC.

As probably everyone else did, I took one. And now, 10 or so years later, I suppose I can consider myself fairly fortunate to still have it:

It's been sitting on my computer at work for maybe 6 or 7 years. I've never really thought anything of it; it didn't occur to me that it was an obscure, unknown object.

My parody of spam hawking Norton as the SoBig [virus] Killer. Yeah, whatever.

There seems to be some continued interest (at least from spiders) in my SparcStack.

Here's a link to older pictures of my wang. You know I share the love.

And because I try to be a good netizen:
