Yes!

Finished my next assignment, which was to launch a series of buffer overflow attacks. Got a perfect 10 out of 10 for it. And it's not even due until next week!

Sweet...

I haven't gone biking for two weeks now, and it shows. My joints crack, my quads are tender, my drive is in lower gear, I am beginning to get back an old headache, and I'm having a harder time getting out of the bed in the morning. It's kind of like having a hangover.

Who ever said serious physical excercise isn't an addiction? I am in withdrawal.

I just finished de-activating my personalized binary bomb this morning. Managed to neutralize five out of a total of six phases, yielding a grade of 8.3 (out of a possible 10). Not bad, considering that on Saturday morning, I had only managed to get through two phases during the whole of last week. Still, it's less than the 8.8 I got for my first project. Ah, well.

For those of you who, like me until last week, do not know what a "binary bomb" is: Don't worry, it's nothing dangerous. Just a fancy name for buggy software code. And "de-activating" simply sounds more thrilling than "fixing".

Still, it was quite fun. I didn't think I had it in me.
