She is tired of hiding from the Turing Police choppers.
Standing outside the Evil Giga Shaft Corporation (GSC), she have hacked the buildings security, still to 'do a HAL' on the their mainframe is not gonna be a stroll in the park.
Looking up at the tiny moon, its cold appearance seems to somehow to give her strength...
As she crosses the street towards her destiny she walk the way she talk it, like every bad-ass hero she know, Bruce Lee, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Sigourney Weaver and Molly... Watching all that pirate bay old movie download is about to be put in good use to give black hat security dudes a bad day at work!
Last paragraph is of course loosely from the great author William Gibson's novel Neuromancer, particular the last name of bad-ass heroes...
At Sudama's office today, I plugged a Kensington Optical Mouse into my powerbook and remapped the buttons to be gmail actions. Right click is "archive" and the bottom left and right clicks use the vi/gmail mappings for up and down. Clicking the left and right buttons simultaneously launches gmail in your default browser. Now that I have mapped mouse buttons to vi navigation keys, I feel like the cycle of UI design is complete once and for all.
Mouse and other I/O applications usually offer application level customization. In the brave new world of thin clients and web-centric applications, users will want to customize these buttons at a web-server or even page level.
Hacker: A person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular. (From RFC 1392)
They're cool. The bad connotation seems to have come about primarily from media reports of people breaking computer security for nefarious purposes. This happened when the word wasn't widely used by people other than self proclaimed hackers. Since the news tends to report on things gone wrong, the general public only heard the word used in a negative sense.
In the positive sense, hacker can include just about anyone making and improving open source software. Thanks to their efforts, no commercial software, besides the firmware on the camera and computer, was used in the creation of this image. Instead, I used Rawtherapee, Digikam, and enfuse running on Linux.
Not all hackers look like this. Some wear suits. Some are less conspicuous. Some don't wear glasses. Some don't like coffee.
Whenever we are out and about in Dorset, we almost always come across riders hacking out along lanes, bridleways or in this case forestry tracks. The two girls passed us a couple of times and were happy to stop and say hallo so that we could give their horses a bit of fuss.
Here's a handy hack I've been using lately to carry a map and notes along with my hacked Moleskine Weekly Planner notebook.
I use a standard 3" x 5" yellow sticky note to draw a map, with directions, address, phone numbers and whatever else I might need to get to my meeting.
Then I attach the long, sticky edge to the spine side of the Moleskine (left edge) and then slide the loose edge of the stick note under the elastic band (right side), so it won't catch the corners in my pocket.
Once I'm done with the map, I can save it in the back of my Moleskine for later use, or toss it out.
This approach also works well for task lists and any other at-a-glance information you need to see without opening up the Moleskine.

8. Slickr. One of the things that is cool about Flickr is that there is an amazing amount of fanastic images online. This is cool and all but Flickr's slide show functionality sucks, it's not full screen, etc. This is where Slickr comes in. Slickr allows you the ability to point Slickr to someone's photostream, your photos marked favorites, etc., etc. and then actually download full high res photos of all of whatever you point it to to your computer. It was developed by Gabriel Hanford. Once on your hard drive you can better make use of these images for your screen saver or for your desktop backgrounds and all that. One of my favorite things to do is to sit back and watch my Media Center PC rotate through my favorites from Flickr on beautiful full high res clarity.
One note with this. You might want to check out the photo license of the photos that you choose to download with Slickr. Although Slickr works with all licenses, technically you'd be breaking the rules by downloading an all rights reserved licensed photo. Creative Commons licensed photos of course (like mine) are free to use for non commercial (in my case) use and if you want to download all of my images for your screen saver, desktop, etc., or even just one of my sets like Superfaves, feel free.

The Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a former government-owned nuclear bunker in Nantwich, Cheshire.
Hack Green's involvement in modern warfare defence began in 1941, when the area was a decoy for World War II raids on the large railway junction about ten miles away at Crewe.
From 1941 to 1949 it was a World War II radar station. In the 1950s it became part of a secret radar network codenamed Rotor, closing in 1958. It then became an Air Traffic Radar Unit.
RAF Hack Green closed in 1966 but the site was retained by the government. After a decade in mothballs, it was turned into a blast-proof nuclear bunker capable of housing a 135-man post-nuclear attack regional government team for 12 weeks. The site became fully operational in 1984, before being decommissioned and declassified in 1993.
Inspiration for some of the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
Today I woke up and decided to try hacking my iPod Touch. Rob at work had done it, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Long story short: mission accomplished! I even figured out how to rearrange the icons on my screen, even though i left the original ones just where they were. You can even switch out the bottom dock icons.
My iPod Touch is now an iPhone minus the phone part. So I've got all of the standard iPhone apps: google maps, weather and stock widgets, notes, Mail, and i've enabled the ability to add calendar events (two lines of code is all it took – adding events to the calendar was disabled for the Touch).
Thanks to the awesome world of hackers and 3rd party developers (you guys rock), i've got the NES emulator, Apollo instant messenger (serves msn, aim, a whole bunch of others), navizon GPS, sketches (like an etch-a-sketch, you even shake it to erase the image), and a whole bunch of other stuff. I am a huge apple fanboy, but i'll be damned if they don't understand that opening the iphone/touch is the way to go.
The only handicap this has is that all the web-enabled services are only useful if i'm on a wi-fi network. With the iphone you can access them through Edge anywhere as long as you've got cellular coverage.
Until the iphone comes to canada, this will do :)
and wow, photographing something that's backlit is quite a bitch, isn't it?
