Let's cut to the chase [start super cool image]:

When we attend this conference, the team will find out if we get to go to:
CALIFORNIA!!!

Of course, I'm not the only one hyped up about it. A lot of people are hyped about it, our parents, our teachers, our school, our principle, and our general region of the FBLA.

When the days go by, I'll promise to change the image a little bit.



I've been working too hard lately. On the CSS, on exams, on projects, and programming. But nevertheless, I love doing that. Even if it is a small increments. I've been getting a couple of things because of it, too. A shiny 16 GB USB Thumbdrive, a YEAR subscription to dA, a TI-84 Plus (lol), a hard drive and memory upgrade for my laptop, and a graphics card. Of course, I didn't get that all at once, I got that, too, in small increments. I've been getting generally good grades in school, English, is the one I'm worried about, since its my worst subject...

Oh, and I got Dungeon Keeper and Hellfire back and now up and running (no emulators ) but, that's aside from the point.



They go smoothly. This one especially. Again, sometime soon this will be released, but then again, I don't know and I'm not sure. Instead of having the shiny-ness on the bottom or the top, why not both? I'm currently working on this, but so far it seems to work fine on Firefox. Internet Explorer users will have to wait.

The Wii one, is also going smoothly. I just need to find a good button image and suit it for the journal. I'm practically making it from scratch at the moment. Here it is live: [link]

Well, I didn't go yet, but I'll tell you what'll happen when I go...

I get an all expenses paid trip to a hotel (somewhere in Virginia), along with my other friends who are in the FBLA with me.

I'm not sure if before we do the states competition, or the day after.

Currently, as of now, all I know is that the competition is April 11, 2008, and that I'm going somewhere I've never gone to before... And that I'm going to beat everyone in that states if its the last thing I do... Or at least try the best of me.

As for you people trying to hack me... Don't even try. I'll just trace you, regardless of what kind of twisted methods you use... I already traced one person already... And um... Well, let's just say he got a Christmas present a 'lil early.



Well, I'm in the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America, or Phi Beta Lambda for college people), and I was put in to compete in a competition with other people in Cyber Security. The competition is a test and here's what we should know:

o firewalls (very good knowledge)
o intrusion detection (good knowledge)
o network and physical security (mainly common sense, very good knowledge)
o cryptography (minimal knowledge)
o public key (good knowledge)
o authentication (minimal knowledge)
o computer attacks (e.g., virus, spam, spyware, trojans, hijackers, worms) (good knowledge)
o e-mail security (good knowledge)
o disaster recovery (very good knowledge)
o forensics security (minimal knowledge)

scale:
minimal (as in, I really don't know too much)
good (I "eh" know it)
very good(I know it damn well)

The test is supposed to be tomorrow, which I probably will be taking (even though there's some snow on the ground).

And the bad thing is, I haven't studied that well enough...

I'm studying now, so I don't let the school down... (There's only one person per school, per competition)

But the good thing is, if I don't get to state, I still get participation points for trying (YEA!). But if I do get to states, well, then its nationals in Atlanta (w00t! BIG FISHTANK FTW!!!).

And this test is nothing like the IC3 or the Office Certification - this is hard. Of course, it wouldn't be hard if I studied now would it?
