“Feed Me”. Strange name for a techno artist but stunningly delicious music nonetheless. Loving the crunchy synth on this one.
I don’t know why I like this song, but I do.
Wow. This Ernesto Nazareth piece is absolutely amazing. I love the chord progression and seemingly effortless delivery.
Use netcat to check udp port status
Damn you, Windows. You’ve conditioned me to use telnet for network connectivity checks instead of superior tools like netcat (which supports UDP ports).
I nearly forgot this one so I thought I’d write it down:
nc -vzu <ip address> <udp port or port range>
- -v enables verbose mode for easier feedback.
- -z scans for listening daemons without sending any data to them.
- -u uses UDP instead of TCP.
‘Nuff said.
Thirty Second Review: Batman Vol 2 Issue 5
I’m conflicted. There’s a lot to like about issue 5 of Batman. It continues a fantastic story arch exploring the mysterious Court of Owls and along the way, there is some truly creative artwork.
But…
I still have the same grievances that I had with the preceding 4 issues: story progression is reaaaaalllly slow. So much in fact, that I’m tempted to advise new readers to wait for the inevitable trade paperback to come out.
Final Verdict: B+
DAYUM. I’m loving Madeon’s new track “Icarus” which is FINALLY getting air time! Here’s the full version (with a couple annoying promotional plugs in the middle).
A Day (Almost) Without Technology
As regular readers of my blog may or may not recall, one of my resolutions for the new year is to find ways to disconnect from technology on a regular basis. Today, my wife and I decided to try this and the results were intriguing.
New to the playlist: a string quartet arrangement of Green Day’s “Boulevard Of Broken Dreams”.
There’s ALWAYS time for more techno.
Here’s a GREAT summary of Protect-IP and how it threatens the Internet as we know it. Please watch and share.
