Slingshot Orbit of Technology

I had followed Darkoperator’s Metasploit Framework for Mountain Lion Guide back in July of 2012. After doing a ‘brew update && brew upgrade’ the recent stable release of ruby-2.0.0.p0 breaks ‘msfconsole’. A simply way to resolve this is to remove ruby from Homebrew and install RVM for ruby version management.

ruby -v
brew doctor
brew uninstall ruby
brew remove --force ruby

\curl -#L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
source /User/<account name>/.rvm/scripts/rvm
cat ~/.bash_profile

rvm install 1.9.3
rvm --default 1.9.3

rvm list
ruby -v

Line 1 shows the current version of ruby. Run Line 2 to make sure ‘Your system is raring to brew.’ Line 3 uninstalls ruby and Line 4 removes the files from the ‘/usr/local/Cellar/’. Line 6 installs RVM with the latest stable version of Ruby. Line 7 loads RVM into the active shell session as a function (replace <account name> with your user account; if you’re not sure .. use ‘whoami’). Use Line 8 to check that RVM will loads automatically when you open a new terminal, otherwise you will have to run Line 7 each time:

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

Line 10 installs ruby-1.9.3-p393 and the following line sets the current && default ruby version in the bash prompt to 1.9.3 with the last command verifying the current version of ruby.

Marina Abramovic meets Ulay

“Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”

“En los años 70, Marina Abramovic mantuvo una intensa historia de amor con Ulay. Pasaron 5 años viviendo en una furgoneta realizando toda clase de performances. En 1988, cuando su relación ya no daba para más, decidieron recorrer la Gran Muralla China, empezando cada uno de un lado, para encontrarse en el medio, abrazarse y no volver a verse nunca más. En 2010 el MoMa de Nueva York dedicó una retrospectiva a su obra. Dentro de la misma, Marina compartía un minuto en silencio con cada extraño que se sentaba frente a ella. Ulay llegó sin que ella lo supiera, y esto fue lo que pasó”

George Hotz is known for unlocking the original iPhone and hacking the PS3 is now studying at Carnegie Mellon University. CMUbash.org has ridiculous quotes from IRC and around the computer science campus – #3936:

amwatson: George, you have to start working on the assignment! If you don’t, you won’t have time to run on the supercomputer!
geohot: Don’t worry. I have my own supercomputer!
amwatson: …You have your own 256-core machine?
geohot: Yeah! Well, I have a botnet…
