I found some great data on enchantments the other day. But, they were in a format that did not make it very easy to read. So, I put them into some nifty charts. I hope you like them.

The telecrapper 2000 telemarketer interception system is quite possibly the greatest program of all time. Basically, you hook your phone into your computer and the computer filters out the telemarketer. That alone is a pretty great feature. But, it gets better.
You configure the application with 2 simple configuration files. The first one is a list of phone numbers to filter out. The second one is a simple list of .wav files. Instead of just hanging up the phone on the telemarketer, the application immediately plays the first .wav file in the config. The program then waits for silence. Then the app plays the next .wav file. This simple loop will continue until A) the telemarketer gives up B) the app runs out of wav files to play.
As if this was not good enough, the app records the conversations. Check out some examples…
Most people around here are family folk.
The app is open source, but it looks like the hookup to the phone is kinda janky. Check it out: TC2K

So, over Christmas Chris and Batman came by. Christmas spirit was shared over the poker table. Chris was showing off his new bail out bag that he got for Christmas from his fiance’s family. It came packed with all sorts of nifty survival stuff. A multi-tool, a length of rope, etc. Anyhow, so a couple days go by and I stumble upon a nifty little grappling hook.
This got the gears a turning. I wondered if I could find a foldable grappling hook to give away for a late christmas gift. It was about that time that the clouds parts and floating down from the internet heavens on a beam of glorious light, came this little bad ass. I found a micro grappling hook.
This thing is built of 330 stainless steel. Not-so-scientific research claims they can hold up to 350 pounds of weight. The spikes are stored inside of the device. You can add weight to the thing by filling it up with water or sand. The eyelet accepts standard 550 cord.
These hooks are the smaller cousin of a hook used to pull trip wires from a safe distance. The military wanted a smaller version, and this was their answer. County Comm had 200 made. Gave some to the military for testing, then sold the rest on their website.
Immediately, I knew I have to buy 3 of these bad boys. Two of them would go to Chris and Batman as late Christmas gifts, and I would treasure the last one.
I bought 3 plus a 100′ section of 550 cord. I cut the cord into 3 equal lengths, then gave them as gifts. I think it may have been one of my best gifts ever.
Cheers,

Factual is a new web application that facilitates the open contributing of data on the internet. Think of it as wikipedia for databases. I’m pretty stoked. I’m not sure if this experiment will turn out to be a winner or not. But, I sure hope they make it.
The data stored in it is very much open ended. For example here is a database of one of my favorite things, beer. Go ahead, edit the data. Add whatever details you you want.
