The Design and Implementation of laffer1

Today I had an interesting experience with a script kiddie.  They started attacking this site.  I've always hates captchas because they make it impossible for blind users to use websites.  A few offer audio clues, but that is very difficult to pull off in UNIX.   It's doable in Mac OS or Windows based servers.

I added a captcha to the signup page successfully.  It was a shock as I've got a terrible cold.  Cough medicine tends to make me very illogical.  I have great difficulty concentrating on programming work. 

I'm at least half way done with my programming assignment for Tuesday.  The server piece is almost done and the client requires very little modification.  It's a C based client -server messaging system.   The client connects via TCP to the server and then waits for the server to process the incoming message.  It's stateful.

Caryn and I had preordered Dance, Dance Revolution on Amazon.com.  I haven't felt much like playing the last two days, but I did get some time on it Friday night.  I thought it would be a lame chick game, but it's fun.  The pad reminds me of the old Power Pad add-on for the NES.  It uses the game cube ports on the Wii and then you use the wiimote + numchuck to do arm movements.
