    I'm using Opera with this journal. I like Opera, but I have major beef with the nav icon bar. Why have room for the text under the buttons but not have the text showing all the time? I don't know what a goddamn star means, I don't know want to make the mental translation between a piece of paper with a folded corner and "New Page."

    The big icon bar belongs in the Interface Hall of Shame, which seems to be down right now.

    Also, -1 to Opera for not giving me the tab key for URL Auto-completion.

    Pretty good browser otherwise.

    Currently working on a fairly naive implentation of AES (128bit only) in C++ for class.

    I've got all the input and output down, the sboxes (table lookup, not calculate) and the Key expansion. Now I just have to do the actual encipher and decipher.

    In other news, we caught someone trying to crack a test account password on our mailserver. At a shallow glance they were spooding their IP, so we might not be able to track them down. Now I'm gonna go write a Perl thing to toss me reports of what IPs are using what [outgoing] mail accounts so I can investigate when there's an anomaly. We wouldn't have found out about this one if I hadn't been getting the bounce messages. Grrr.
