because my mind wandered to weird places regarding the lockpicking comments and because i recently saw an article here on doing some less than upstanding things to exploit software vulnerabilities - the kind that bypass DEP.
so part of me is wondering if i should post it - if i can find the source. i actually made it as part of a larger search engine scraping tool so if i gutted the google specific bits i could legally speaking "sanitize it"
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

You mean like this one[^]?
I don't see how or why that should violate google's search tos, given that it's just a command-line search, and not automated.
Calling it repeatedly from a shell with an input file of search terms would be considered "automated", but calling a browser repeatedly from a shell with an input file of search terms would be exactly the same thing, so its being a command-line tool makes no difference whatsoever.

You make a valid point, which I hadn't considered. Although I've been known to call it from a script from time to time

@OriginalGriff
In fact, I am repleter than a very replete thing. No mushrooms, so I just layered as much bacon into a 30 inch pan as I possibly could. Also, no hash-browns, as I couldn't be arsed with them. As I am not allowed to cook chips in HER kitchen*, I did fried potato cubes in the frying pan. They need constant attention to turn them, but this is a good thing, as I can multi-task it with drinking beer - not so hard when you get the hang of it. 
All the rest is as advertised by a solid English brunch.
:belch:
* Quite how it became HER kitchen, I am not terribly sure, as I recall paying for everything from the house it's in to the peppercorns in the peppermill.

I cheat: Sausage, bacon, black pudding are under the grill, eggs in a fry pan. Toast in the toaster (obviously); mushrooms, beans, and tomatoes in separate packs in the Sous Vide at 79C. Hash browns prepared earlier, go in the Heska (a Chinese "pizza cooker" that can't cook pizza to save its life but does very well with tortillas, pancakes, and near dry-fry potato objects)
Resulting washing up: plates, cutlery, one fry pan, and the grill pan (lined with foil to make that easier)
Means I only use one ring instead of four+, and only have to keep an eye on the grill instead of stirring multiple pans, until the eggs go in, and they are two minutes with a light shake every now and then.

Philistine; black pudding should be eaten au naturel as anyone from Bury would tell you.

As the saying goes, "If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying hard enough".

I cheat as well - or maybe I'm just lazy. 
Baked beans in a pot in the microwave and an empty covered plate on the pop-up rack on the toaster. Cook the potato cubes first in the frying pan, and then transfer to heated plate. Chuck all the meat products into the frying pan, and do them together, except the bacon which is done next to last. As the sausages, burgers, and kidneys are done, place on the heated plate and cook the bacon and put on the plate, microwave the beans and put a couple of eggs in the pan and your done.
One dirty pan, one dirty plate, and one microwave pot to wash up. One caveat - the pop-up rack and covered plate on the toaster can very, very hot, and actually start to recook the food, and so needs careful managing - together with drinking beer, of course, in the fully approved multi-tasking method.

Ok it was only a Master lock ( not the notoriously easy number 3 ) but I picked my first real lock 6 times - it felt like I'd climbed Everest

Bloody well done! It's a rush, isn't it?
I've got a little Yale padlock (maybe 4cm square?) that is being most reluctant to open except with the key ...
I suspect it would open on its own if LPL glanced in it's direction.

I can't open the supposedly easy Master number 3 - I get a few clicks and a miniscule bit of movement on the core but that's it - watch this space.

I found my problem with my Euro lock was that I was oversetting the low pins - I need to be more sensitive when probing I think - and if you do that it's hard / impossible to get them back without releasing tension and starting again. Which was frustrating because when I released tension after a failure, I could hear lot of little clicks as the pins dropped back to place making me think I'd got a bunch of 'em right, instead of "very wrong".
It's worth a look at the key to see if the bitting can give you any clues while we've starting?

Yes I think that's part of my problem, with these sort of locks I think less is more in terms of single picking, I got my first success this morning with a rake, but used it like a single hook , I bought the set from UKBumpkeys they come with a 14 page ebook written by Chris Dangerfield who owns the company, and he explains several different raking techniques. A lot of the purists pooh pooh raking but this guy knows his stuff and even Bosnian Bill was impressed at the detailed explanations.

There are many, many lock picking/cracking videos on Youtube of various types and complexities. I am sure you have seen them but in case you didn't...

Yes, I do. But it's a short, paracentric keyway so it's a pain to get the pick to bear - and being a Yale it likely has security pins as well which make a beginner's life much harder!
I'll get it - eventually - it give me something to aim for.

Oooh fun.
I like lockpicking and safecracking. I'm better at the latter, as my manual dexterity and fine motor skills aren't what they were. i'm shaky these days.
masterlock combination locks can be shim-released with a flattened soda can cut in a particular way.
the key ones there's no special trick. you have to pick them. good on you. i don't know if i could do it these days.
