Boredom is a gateway drug that leads to Twitter

Since Hobocomp isn't currently working on brute forcing passwords, or factoring large numbers such as U of M's RSA public-key, it has become self aware, and made itself a hobocomp twitter feed.

What would Hobocomp possibly want to talk about, you ask? Well, you'll just have to see for yourself I suppose. Feel free to talk "at" Hobocomp on twitter if you've got an account. Apparently there's some mechanism for this on twitter...I haven't figured it out. Hobocomp is the one that's good with computers and such.

In other news, Hobocomp was recently scanned by Merit in collaboration with the University of Michigan. Based off the lack of angry emails from rescomp, I would say hobocomp happened to pass this security scan with flying colors. It even managed to keep track of up to 90 HTTP requests in a single second from the scan. You can see a pretty but poorly labeled graph here (The large peak is 90 requests, and the x axis is seconds). you can also see some of the HTTP requests from this scan in the hobocomp logs (yeah, it's watching you).
