Update on Trapping

Pretty much done the "marketing stuff" I had to do. Limos was a $DEITY-send as he took over the Reviewer's Guide which allowed me to make final changes to the technical documents I had to write, and then let me go back to some coding. Just finished adding SNMP Trap management to the tool, so you can now receive trap events to the central management console. Hopefully it will get merged into Stable soon, so I can use it on all our perimeter defenses.

Went with some friends to go see XXX again. The first time I didn't stay to watch the credits. Did this time. Holy cow those graphics are kewl. If you haven't seen XXX yet, and you plan to... stick around for the credits.

Been playing with C# a bit. I still like Java better, but can see how MS is trying to get it migrated into everything. I am not one for "web services" (actually hate them due to the bad security design - anyone who says SOAP is KEWL to run over HTTP needs to be shot... just HOW do you expect to restrict and control traffic flow if you open up your defenses to ALLOW for the application? Stupid to leave all the security at the authentication of user level for all services). If I had to write a Windows application, I would not use C# or forms. I would stick with C++ and use the MFC subsystem to deliver the UI.

Well, my daughter is really sick and I promised I would spend some time with her this morning working on homework while she was home. Good to see she loves school. She didn't get that from me. Well... should go be a teacher for the morning. TTYL
