The Design and Implementation of laffer1

Yet again we see a full disclosure for the two most popular web browsers.  The nature of the web makes it difficult to secure browsers or websites.  The common convention to secure an application is to figure out all the possible types of user input and then create a white list.  With Unicode there thousands of characters from numerous languages to consider.  How do you create a whitelist or even a blacklist for all times of input?  These vulnerabilities deal with iframes, tricking users with keyboard input and other issues. 

I just finished watching the latest "webcast" video.  For Eng 328, it sounds like we just need to make a personal homepage.  We need a targeted site for Eng 444.  I'm going to have trouble thinking of something interesting to do.  I already have several websites which target many of my interests.  I suppose I could do a website about different Operating Systems.  That does seem a bit boring for everyday people.  Most of my better ideas are borderline for an academic work.  I could do a new Jewel site but there would be IP issues.  The OS idea also suffers from that to some degree.  If I use graphics to represent windows, mac os, linux and so on they all are copyrighted.  The screen shots would probably be safe as long as I took them myself.  I think this might need more thought.  Oh my its almost 1 am and I have class at 9am. 

Wow. I didn't sleep at all last night. Not 5 minutes of sleep. I asked Caryn to drive me to class which turned out to be a blessing. The air was either let out of my tires or both front tires (which are 3 months old) mysterously lost about the same amount of air while the rear tires maintained pressure. I'm not happy with that. I still haven't resolved that issue.

I managed to write the blog entry but its very poor. I kept trying to sleep last night and I could have just worked on homework.

When I got home, I dropped for 5 hours. It helped a little. I'm still off on my sleep schedule. That blog assignment is scary and I can tell I'm jumping back and forth in this entry. I'm weird when I'm tired. I decided to watch a µonk episode from season 2. Mr. Monk and the Captain's wife is one of the best episodes.
