Yesterday, I met a friend. Nothing special about that, one little detail was different than when I met my other friends. I had never met that friend before. I knew that nice guy from the Internet, I guess I got in touch with him 6 years ago. In that time I was surfing on some hacking boards, and we exchanged jabber id’s. From that time on we stayed in contact, many things changed, there was an evolution. When I think back, I see how things are moving, going on, people getting smarter, changing their ideologies, and following different goals. Many people gave up hacking during that time, this guy, and myself are still following the same goal, we want to understand how things really work. So yesterday, eddy14, came to Bochum, and I showed him the university, the nice side, with the parcs, ice seller, girls, sun,… and the not so nice side, dark, concrete, no nature, nerds, … no girls. He was quite impressed. After we went to my place and hacked some common air card, type 3 to make it compliant with a normal PCMCIA port. Quite good result I have to admit. I can only recommend to read his blog, yesterday he released a very interessting tool but read for yourself

Not very interesting for my readers, but yeah, I wanted to write something about this event.

Kind regards,

This is only a little update, I wrote a script to allow me to query the vrr.de (Verkehrsbund Ruhr-Rhein) page to know when the next “train” is leaving. It is a simple shell UI, that is not completely implemented yet but as I don’t seem to want to invest more time in it (and it is working for my purpose) I’ll publish it, so if you need it you don’t need to start from scratch.

Nothing special about the script, I find it quite useful and I use it as a permanent “widget” in my xmobar, so I’m always up to date when the next U35 leaves, and I don’t lose time waiting for it.

So here you go: vrr-client.tar.bz2
