Flash, and its over

Well, finished the Flash presentation yesterday. I am quite proud of myself, it looks pretty good. I even got some good feedback from people, including one guy not believing I was the narrator of the script. He really didn't think it was me. ( /me waves to Mike :P ) I can really see why people charge like $5000 - $7500 for one of those. It is a LOT of hard work, and patience. Saving the money was nice though, and I didn't do to bad a job. Worst part would have to be the audio recording, as I couldn't seem to keep the sound/tone to the same levels between tracks. I am sure there are ways to do it, I just don't have the experience. But no worries, I will live with it.

Right now I am working on my kernel mode driver for XP to deal with the packet interception before it hits the wire. I think I have figured a pretty neat way to basically rip apart the packet to inspect the payload quickly for HTTP requests. In this way I can use the same architecture to do content filtering (via URL) through the driver without any real overhead. If I can find a hack to read and integrate lists like the CyberNOT list or NetNanny, I will be able to have really good content filtering directly in my stuff to protect my daughter, and anyone elses child for that matter. Of course, this has the added benefit of doing content filtering for businesses as well, and gives me both a personal and business reason for writing it in. Who needs to hack transparent proxying and Dans Guardian when I can have it right in the stack for the operating system being used. Should be fun. If you have kids, and would like to test this when I get it working please let me know.

I need to wrap this up as I gotta go get ready for squash. Arc and I are about to beat the hell out of a little yellow dot rubber ball, and I still need to find my squash gear. I am pretty sure I left it in the laundry room when I washed my stuff, but I didn't see it there this morning. I better go find it... playing squash without a racquet would be kinda silly. TTYL
