Oh ya... its the turtle!

It's HIP to be:

repeat 4 [fd 10 rt 90]

(psstttttt.... thats a square)

Ahh.. the good old days of Logo. Well, I am happy to say that the kewl guys over at MIT have revived logo with Star Logo, a nice Logo tool written in Java. Logo was one of the first programming languages that I enjoyed as a kid, and could be credited for the first game I ever wrote. It wasn't Quake by any means... but hey... nobody else was doing it. (So I thought at the time). I am gonna see if I can get my daughter hooked on this, and enjoy Logo as I did.

Fingers are sore. Have had to do a LOT of writing lately. Wrote 3 tech docs as well as rewrote the product section on the company web site. Now in the process of working with Limos to write a very detailed "Reviewers Guide" of the product. We shutter at the thought of the 80 page manuscript we are embarking on, just so people know how to see everything in the product. (Something we ALWAYS lacked at the old company).

REALLY wanting to attack some new ideas I have with some SNMP monitoring code. I want to enhance the monitoring with real time host watch viewing on the network. In this way you can totally follow what users are doing. Further to this, eventually I hope to have it clickable so if you want to see what a user is seeing, you could very well do it through the code I have interfacing with snort. ie: You see someone is using up some bandwidth that looks like instant messaging, when they are working. You simply could click on that session, zoom in, and then have every packet going to them also echo to your screen. The monitoring tool could resassemble it and you could read what they are reading. Or view what they are viewing. Or play it back later as part of forensic analysis. (Showing a boss his pr0n session would be quite enlightening I would think). However, we are in a code freeze while we get the sales and marketing guys every imaginable document you can think of. *sigh*

I'll get to it someday soon I hope.
