It started with the Song "Handlebars", good song... very catchy. After I bought the CD... I've been reading the lyrics.. Love it Check it! [spoken] We are building up a new world Do not sit idly by Do not remain neutral Do not rely on this broadcast alone We are only as strong as our signal There is a war going on for your mind If you are thinking you are winning Resistance is victory Defeat is impossible Your weapons are already in hand Reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom Fight with tools Your fate and that of everyone you know depends on it

Reasons why Medical Marijuana should be ALLOWED http://reason.com/blog/show/126966.html And just so any prosecutor knows... I will always vote not guilty on "any" marijuana charges. So... you don't want me on the jury :)

In God We Trust?

McCain: America is Established as a Christian Nation I'm So sick and tired of this idea that this country was founded on some Christian establishment or ideal. Its so far from wrong it astounds me. Up until the 1950's, the national moto was E Pluribus Unum, ("from many, one") , and In God We Trust was not added until an Act of Congress in 1956. I know our school systems are bad, but since I wasn't there THAT long ago, I know they are not teaching this. So where does this non-sense come from? The Media? ie: Fox News? or what? It's absurd and I can't take it anymore. I will call anyone out on this anytime I hear it... and this reason alone, I will NOT vote for McCain.

Cisco VPN Client on Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit

June 3, 2008 Posted by mitch | cisco, ubuntu | 0 Comments

Last night i decided that running the server kernel for the PAE mods isn't really a good fix on my new ThinkPad T61, so I installed the 64bit version of Ubuntu. I had a few issues with getting the Cisco VPN client installed but found these instructions to help.

1. Untar the VPN Client # tar xzf vpnclient-linux-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz 2. Download the patch #1 # wget -q http://projects.tuxx-home.at/ciscovpn/patches/vpnclient-linux-2.6.24-final.diff 3. Download the patch #2 # wget -q http://projects.tuxx-home.at/ciscovpn/patches/cisco_skbuff_offset.patch 4. Change to the vpnclient diretory # cd vpnclient 5. Apply the patch #1 # patch <../vpnclient-linux-2.6.24-final.diff patching file GenDefs.h patching file interceptor.c 6. Apply the patch #2 # patch <../cisco_skbuff_offset.patch patching file frag.c patching file interceptor.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 646 (offset 16 lines). Hunk #2 succeeded at 685 (offset 16 lines). Hunk #3 succeeded at 807 (offset 16 lines). patching file linuxcniapi.c patching file linuxkernelapi.c 7. Open your "Makefile" and rename the CFLAGS line to EXTRA_CFLAGS 8. Now the patches have been applied and you can safely install the client #./vpn_install
