How to Hack a Coke Machine





This is something that almost no one ever notices, every coke machine with a LED screen is hackable. You can find out cool stuff like how much money is in the machine, how many times one soda has been bought, etc.

Steps

Find a Coke machine that has an LED screen and says something like "Ice Cold Cokes".
Push the following buttons in the order given 4, 2, 3, 1.
If the buttons are in a column the first button is the top one.
If they are in a grid or other format, the first button is usually the top left one.
Now you have accessed the computer on the coke machine. Now you get to play around.
The first button is the back button
The second button is the up button
The third button is the down button
The forth button means enter. Or in some cases the Number Sign (#) will act as enter.

Example Commands

Cash
This command tells you exactly how much money is in the machine. This can also tell how many times a specific soda has been purchased.

Error
This shows the error messages of the machine. Basically it tells how many times a machine has been opened.

Exit
You will leave the menu.

Tips
Different machines have different commands, so learn what each new one does.
Some machines are more advanced than others. For example, I once found a machine that allowed me to change the internal tempature. Play around with it for a while.
If you need to get out fast (for example, the janitor is coming) press the change (coin return) button. This will normally quit the menu.

Mickey: Weekend Fun!

What a weekend! I had a few guests up from IU. We started things off at Rumba with latin cuisine and latin jazz music. Then we headed to the dance floor for some salsa dancing. We closed down Soundbar. Sam was backing it up on the dance floor and Alice was shaking her donkey as usual. Woohoo. What a night!

NEWS FLASH.....Only Race at the Race Track and NOT DRUNK.....

LAKE FOREST– Nicole Catsouras, 18, of Ladera Ranch was killed Tuesday afternoon when her black Porsche 911 Carrera clipped a Honda she was trying to pass on the right at more than 100 mph on the Eastern (241) Toll Road, the California Highway Patrol said.

Catsouras was driving southbound near Alton Parkway when she suddenly switched lanes and lost control of the Porsche, CHP officials said, and then cut across the center median, careened across several lanes of traffic and crashed into a tollbooth.

mr2: It's Turkey Day!!!

I just wanna wish all the members of the tlb921 to have a very nice Thanksgiving (I know it's a day early but oh well this is the only time i got)...

New Topic ...

Yo ... We need a new topic of the week. I'd like to offer a suggestion, but when it comes to me and/or mr2 nowadays, all we can think about is the Chargers. If anyone caught last night's game, the Bolts came back from 17 down AGAIN to beat the Denver Broncos. Dope game, I'm so excited about the season. Nothing new is going on over here either, except the fact that I think I'm getting sick. OH BY THE WAY, Good Find at the 99 cent store, I didn't know that they carried my brand of condoms! I used to use them when I was in San Diego, but they didn't really work so I had to move to Indiana. That's the real reason I'm out here, if any of you see kids that kind of look like me, you can thank the 99 cent store condoms! OH YEAH! OK maybe that wasn't such a great joke, I need to stretch cuz it's late. Aight kiddos, catch you laters!

P.S. Thanks for the glasses Flo! I've gotten nothing but props for them!

P.P.S. Sorry for the kissy face pose! LOL

So I was at the 99 sent store this week

So I'm at the 99 cent store near my office looking for dish racks for my
house and I'm browsing the aisles and what do I find.....fricken 12 pack
of condoms for 99 cent...

I said hell NO.....what the heck...

So far warning to the 99 cent shoppers do not but these....u get what u
pay for, or in this case ull get MORE then u paid for...

Then the Chargers created history, and me and Dan were there to witnessed it. The Bengals fans were poor loser....Who Dey, who dey think is gonna beat 'em Bengals? I think we all know what the answer is....The Chargers!!!Hey Dan, thanks for a very good weekend. Love Yah!!!!

used to sharing the space in the fridge and the cabinets and now I have
the whole thing to myself....I love it

Here are some before and afters.....

Mickey: Weekend Recap

This Friday was Kickback to Kirkwood at Joe's Bar in Chicago. I don't know about kicking back, but I definitely THREW DOWN some drinks from 8-11PM. I had an AMF (which tasted delicious by the way) and played too many rounds of sink the biz. I'll have some pics to follow. I got so drunk that I started taking pics with random people. We eventually found our way to a latin club. I remember dancing with two chicks at the same time. Yep, that's about all I remember from that club although it felt like we danced for hours. We hopped in Jaret's car and started bar crawling. I don't remember the bars...just meeting up with some girls that my friend Melvin knew. After trying to get into the last bar and finding out that it was $10 dollars, I decided to call it a night. As Jaret began the drive to my crib, everything started to spin. By the time we got to my apt, I didn't know where I was and the world had spinned so much that I vomitted as soon as I opened the car door. I remember getting home and passing out (which may have been around 1:30). Well, at least I came home with all of my belongings, which was such a surprise. In all, the weekend was great although I didn't get with any lesbians. The Chargers and Bears won, and Jason's race crew is still alive after the crash. So, I'd say we had a good weekend.

P.S. How was the chocolate cake Mr2? Where' going to have to go to J. Alexander's the next time you guys come to Chicago.

Chargers 49 ... Bengals 41

The Chargers tied for the second largest comeback in Franchise history today. They were down 28-7 at halftime and then rallied to win the game 49-41. I haven't been to a game in like 11 years, so to be here for this game was awesome! Me and mr2 saw and met maybe 40 Chargers fans tops! I lost my voice talking shit to 70,000 angry Bengals fans and luckily, I'm still here to blog about it! Unfotunately, some of the fans started throwing shit at us, pom-poms and ice and I think a handclapper thing, but all in all it was a great experience. I was going nuts, so I hope I got on TV! ON another note, mr2 and I ate dinner at Morton's steakhouse, and it was SUPER GOOD! mr2 called it an orgasm in her mouth LOL! We had the creme brulee and hot chocolate cake for dessert so we didn't get a chance to eat the new yokr cheescake flo recommended, but I'm pretty sure mr2 will want to go again. Let's hope I can get her to pay for me next time! ;P Great Weekend ... Great Game ... Great Girlfriend ... what more could I ask for?! Go Chargers!

Game over.......

Short weekend ... Boo ...I am glad that everyone is ok...

Funny sign from a podunck gas station

Says somthing to the effest that its not their fault the spent a crap
load of money on running the gas station already and ask its cutomers to
not complain because they don't care....

Rally time

In laughlin nevada racing today...

Mickey: It's Friday!

I haven't written here in quite awhile so prepare yourself for some entertaining reading. Ok, I'm on a chocolate kick since I went to Bloomington about 2 weeks ago. Yep, better believe it! It's a substitute for sex. Mind you, it's been 10 months now and I'm getting desperate. It's not that I can't get any, I'm just plain picky. So, I guess I'm going to lower my standards and go after lesbians. I know...it's not really lowering my standards. It's making things worse, but at least this will be my greatest challenge yet!. My theory is that they don't want a relationship or emotional attachment; just a penis (i.e. TLB's least favorite filipina). Haha! So my new target will be lesbians. Maybe I'll convert a few. LOL.

Tonight is Kickback to Kirkwood at Joe's Bar in Chicago. We got AMF's, Sink the Biz, and Pizza Express breadsticks. I'm totally stoked (u know any black guys that have ever said "stoked")! Anyways, I'm expecting a lot of people to show up and Jaret will be leading our table to Sink the Biz history. Although, I've told myself that I will not get drunk, don't be surprised if you receive a 2AM phone call from me. I brought my camera so I hope I'll have something to remember. I just hope I don't black out and take pics in a cowboy hat and underwear this time (at least Mr2 and Dan won't be there to capture my embarrassing moment on film...they have so many incriminating photos already).

That's about it. I'll let you know if have any success this weekend with finding lesbians. I might meet up with some dancers tonight. I hate Dan for hookin' me up with an Asian. Now I have an Asian fetish. Trust me, I've never wanted to be in the same category as white guys. But, I guess there's a secret society of black men that love Asian women (i.e. Wesley Snipes).

Beer anyone?

So...happy hour at bj's...can't beat it...come join us....

This birthday was just another day...I guess there's nothing more exciting about you're birthday when you know you're gettting old...lol. But there were some highlights of the weekend....Friday, just went out dinner to El Azteca and drank half of the 64-ounce pitcher of margarita...needless to say I was drunk when I got home...Saturday was pretty exciting coz it was the final bidding day for the Bengals vs Chargers Game in Cincinnatti, row1 in the 40-yard line, and to top that it's in the Chargers sideline....so Dan won the bidding. Yay!!!! ( I hope the Chargers win). Then, Dan got me the Grey's Anatomy Season 1 & 2!!! Isn't he nice? lol. Sunday, it was just pretty much chill, except for Tita Mely (Dan's mom) bought a ginormous T.V. 55" HDTV Ready....then we watched a filipino movie starring Diether (Diet)....lol....So that's my birthday...laters.

Is it big enough

What do u guys think....u like the setup for late night 921 karaoke?

Mickey: Weekend Recap

Let's all put our hands together for Mr2's 62nd...I mean 26th Birthday! You will have to give us your report soon. Apparently our lesbian friend was not available to give u a lap dance for 26 min on your 26th birthday.

To the weekend:

So, Friday night was just for relaxing. I stayed in and watched a few movies. I don't know why the hell I watched "The Break Up." Saturday was the big wedding. I was pumped up because I had a nice, new suit and was ready for salsa dancing (since the bride is dominican and all). The ceremony was short and sweet and as the reception began, the free alcohol begin to flow. Some of the guests that I had met, along with some othere people I knew, were placed at one table, while me and my roommate were placed at another table with strangers. I looked around and was like, "damn, this is going to suck." Surprisingly, we start chatting and our table becomes the most entertaining. After sharing laughs with the best man's parents. The best man and his parents invite me to their big 4th of July event. The worst part of the wedding had to be the music. They only played 3 salsa songs and 2 hip hop songs. And if I hear "Sexy Back" one more time, I'm going to break some backs! So after the wedding, my roommate and I decided 2 head out to the clubs. It wasn't until the second club that we got into a verbal confrontation with some guys. Some drunken guy was about to fall on Ricky so he pushed him forward (which the guy turned around and thanked him for pushing him so he wouldn't fall). It was his friends that looked a Ricky and started talking smack. I was wearing a $400 suit, so I know I wasn't going to do anything. But, apparently my friend, who is an attorney, decided that he would talk smack back. We didn't end up fighting though. We just watched the bouncer escort one of the guys out of the club. It's always good to be friends with the DJ. ;-)

Sunday was great because I had free tix (thanks to BET) to see the Ciara concert at the House of Blues. So I invited my boy who's bday was Saturday...filipino November bdays...lol. And we get to the counter and are told we have to go to a certain section to get our tix. Low and behold, they are VIP tix. There's rooms I never knew existed in that place. There were like 3 boom-boom rooms, private rooms, etc. We also took pics with the host of BET's Hotwyred. It was a great night overall. And I was happy that my present for him was a VIP tix.

That's all folks!

How to TIP for the CHEAPASSES of the world

Having fun dining outDining out can be a treat for the family or for your mate. It means no cooking, no washing the dishes, and no mess in the house. It also means that you will have to rely on the restaurant staff in order to have an enjoyable evening.


The U.S. Government taxes servers and bartenders based upon an assumption that they made a certain percentage of their sales in tips. If you do not tip a server or a bartender in America after receiving good service, you are actually costing your server money.
Remember that tipping is optional. While it is not factored into the itemized bill for small groups in most restaurants, it is, however, a well-established U.S. custom. Restaurant staff members are paid according to assumptions that this custom is followed.

Good service: Pay attention to the service during the meal. Were your glasses kept full? Were the dirty dishes removed? Were you asked how the meal was and if you needed anything? Did you ask for extra work--a special order, special drink, special sauce, etc.?

If the chef or cooks made a mistake on your order, or you just didn't like the food, it is a good reason to lower the tip. The restaraunt works as a team. Just as any team, they succeed together and the fail together. If a team is not performing, exceptional individuals can move on to better opportunities.

Look at your check when you receive it and look at your total price. If you received adequate service (all your needs were met, but the server did nothing above and beyond) an appropriate tip is 15% of the total. If you received exceptional service, the tip should be 20 or 25% or more. On the other hand, if you felt as if you received poor service (your needs were not met or server was rude), complaining to a manager and lowering the tip percentage are completely appropriate courses of action.

Keep in mind that tipping less than 15% actually takes money out of the server's pocket. At most sit-down restaurants, servers are required to "tip out" buspersons, bartenders, hosts, or food runners based on the total sale (sometimes up to 40% of their income or sales). If you don't tip servers enough to at least tip out these positions, they actually have to use some of their own money to tip out their co-workers. But if the service is truly poor, that is just too bad for the server. As in all service industries, poor performance should cost the server money.

Tips
If you don't have enough money to leave an appropriate tip in America, don't go out to eat at a sit down restaurant. You are taking up a table that your servers could be making money on.
If your servers are required to run back and forth for a lot of things, remember to leave a little extra, as well as a 'Thank You,' and a mention of this to the manager. People are quick to complain, but rarely praise their servers.They are working hard to make sure your evening was pleasant.

If you're eating with small children, remember that the servers will clean up the mess, and that this usually takes quite a bit of time. Try leaving servers a little extra for this big inconvenience.
Do not splurge on costly meals and then leave servers a meager tip. Do keep in mind, however, that in many U.S. states, waiters and waitresses are paid a base wage that is significantly lower than the regular minimum, because it's assumed that tips will make up the difference (but if not, they must be paid the minimum wage by the restaurant). Thus, unlike other countries, tipping is expected in the U.S. if you receive service that is at least satisfactory.)

An easy way to figure a 20% tip is to move the decimal point of the cost to find 10%, and then double it. For example, if the bill is $35.00, 10% would be $3.50, and a 20% tip would be $7.00. For 15%, you would halve the 10% and add it to the original number. For $35.00 again, that would be $3.50 + $1.75 = $5.25.

inspiration of the day...

Mickey: Mr2 and her Psycho!

I think it's Dan...lol. U know it's always been his dream 2 share u w/ another woman...lol. Could be Sheila? Is it S.A.? LOL. Well, anyways...congratulations on having new stalkers. I've never had one of those (crazy girl in high school didn't qualify cuz I was technically dating her...trust me, didn't know she would follow me around school), but I have had a female molester. My favorite jeans will never be the same :(

So I'm excited to go back to school. I hope the process to get in will not be difficult and I'm awarded enough financial aid. I kinda ran out of things to say, so I'm gonna fill my gut with food. Yes, lunch time...highlight of the day!
