Approaching conclusion

It was bound to happen. The end of Joshua and Tyler's Excellent Adventure is near, with just another day or so to go. But this is an adventure, right? So where is all the adventurous stuff?

Glad you asked!

So we were walking along Southbeach in Miami at some random time in the afternoon on Sunday, when out of nowhere, I see something shiny tucked in the sand. When I dug it out, I found out it was a USB memory stick - exciting huh? Well, it would be if you knew what I found on the last lost memory stick I stumbled across... No, it wasn't photos from sightseeing at the zoo or random music from some talentless indie band. That one was a high school professors gradebook and personal info for all of about 150 students at Arlington High School, plus cirriculum files some personal files as well. {Yes, I contacted that guy and tried to give it back, but that one didn't work out}

So what are the odds of me finding anything worth anything twice in a row? I mean, everyone and their mom has a memory stick filled with worthless stuff, and they probably lose it all the time....

So, after a quick load up on the laptop yesterday, lo and behold, I had a "HACHA!" moment. Apparently, I have just shy of 1 gigabyte of Cisco Systems critical partner data, including 110,000 email addresses, phone numbers, membership levels, and loads of other info of executives and contacts from their 50,000 or so WORLDWIDE partners {Asia, Europe, Africa, USA, China, Japan, the list goes on}.

And it doesn't stop there - it also had HUGE raw database queries for their client backend, so given enough time, it would be possible to figure out their entire schema {though, without access to the system it won't do too much good}. All in all, I bet I could get a nice 10 stacks for it! hahahaha, just kidding... kind of :-D

Well, time to go to Bullsh Gardens. LOL. Pictures from this and other stuff later.
