I need to read some complicated tcp code. Being able to scribble all over code makes it a lot easier for me to follow the flow of what is happening.

I tried, but I couldn't get colour to work. In the end I don't really care if it is on paper.
I am a big fan of stripe, recently using them for 57north's MakeIt-Glo workshop . The payment was smooth and easy to use, we didn't hear about any issues with stripe from any of the attendee's either.
Bitcoin I am still unsure of. I would love to make £1000's from idle speculation, but I haven't been able to buy it from anywhere other than people in the real world.
Being able to use both together can only be seen as a good thing, the more services that start to take bitcoin the better. Services like stripe that are genuinely legitimate and have good standing go a way to remove a lot of the alarmism around the currency.
Tarsnap is one of my favourite services on the internet. If you are looking for secure small scale off site backup I can't think of anything better.
The decapping of the 3DS chip is the sort of reverse engineer that just amazes me. The author mentions Bunnie's Book as a source of inspiration and I have to agree. Bunnie's book operates well above the level of chip decapping, but it gives you a window into an entire world of engineering that is usually hidden. Last year Bunnie released his book for free in memory of Aaron Swartz.
Bunnie is really cool guy and a hero of hackers around the world. Amoung other projects he is making the ultimate engineers laptop .
It is a rare day that I remember markdown link syntax.

On Saturday the 8th march 2014 we did a run through of the MakeIt-Glo workshop. Afterwards I went to the pub, leaving my bag(laptop and camera) in the space. Ed and Calum stayed in the space.
Charlene text me and awoke the hangover at 0500 on the 9th. Unable to sleep I headed into the space to get my laptop and bag and shit. The time lock was disabled at 0657 when I came in and the main door was open for the world.
I came up the stairs and saw that the door to the kitchen area had been pried open and all round damaged. I saw a guy that I thought was a lock smith(hungover head is optimistic), he pointed at our door and said something like "It is locked". I unlocked the door and walked up to him, I fumbled questions about his name and what was going on. He went to leave, but I saw my (United Pixel Workers) laptop sticker sticking out of the bag.
I said it was my laptop, he put the bag down and I grabbed it, my camera and laptop charger. He placed both the bags he was holding on the floor. I walked across the lab and put my stuff in my bag then pulled out my phone. He said "I've called the police already" my witty retort was "Well I'm doing it again". As the police call center answered he disappeared down the stairs.
Police came and took immediate details and put out a bulletin. Anther robbery happened on king st while the officers where talking with my. Logic ties the two together to both me and the officers. A crime scene officer came and printed the broken door and the items we were sure he had touched.
This bloke didn't wear gloves, tried to break through an unlocked door and didn't manage to grab our beer money jar. He broke into a dentist, I have no idea what he was expecting to steal. The bastard tried to steal our drinks cupboard.
