In article <3ln7pv$7m0@news.csus.edu>, emerson@sfsu.edu says... [a lot of stuff with no obhack] Yipes -- I'm breaking the rules. Apologies all around. ObHackForLastTime: Wiring a twisted-pair Ethernet cable for use between two computers without a hub, without the knowledge of which pairs go where. This shows more stubborn persistance than cleverness, but I certainly FELT like a master hacker when it finally worked. The worst part was getting rid of the 30 or 40 one-inch pieces cut off the end from each failed attempt. ObCompoundedInterestForMissedObHackHack: Working out how to somewhat successfully forge posts with WinVN. Not much of a hack, but I don't owe THAT much interest, since I caught the missed ObHack myself. ObHackInProgressForThisTime: Creating a database of short, unique, device-specific MIDI sysex requests and replies for use in automatically identifying MIDI devices attached to a computer. -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ R Pickett * This line under construction -- pardon our dust * emerson@sfsu.edu Not responsible blahblahblah my own words blahblah, emerson@opcode.com blahblah reflect the opinions blahblah get it blah? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
