Oops

I saw the terrible grammer of the essay I wrote but I'm too tired to rewrite it and publish it up again for now, maybe next week once I get a spare moment.

An understandable arhhhhhhh

My dictator went dead, even before midway into the privacy sesson today. Typical. Though my bad because I didnt take off content, I hate the software its horrid, so un userfriendly. Theres not much choice of software because of the file format, I could convert the format and use another software but I just want it to extract content and play it. I hate it, hate it. I'm frustrated because, it died on me at the worst time, as privacy is my choice for the 2nd part of the assignment. The worse part is I don't remember anything said, ok so I remember the clear points, but nothing inbetween. How frustrating is that. So much for the dictator.

Privacy sesson post and new essay

This weeks topic PRIVACY, finally, a topic I can relate to and can really get into more.

Defining what it means to me though, was not an easy step, privacy has always played a heavy role in my life, it is quite a sensitive topic. However for the expression of my comprehension on the topic, heres an small essay on 'WHAT PRIVACY MEANS TO ME?' , its on the right.

Bear in mind that it is what privacy means to me, so its a very different perspective than the average. Its worth a view if you want to see another perspective.

I need to spend time next week going through the keywords (buzzwords) , I have some material on them, especially spam. Though really need to work on the assignment, as its looking messy at the moment. Very messy.

My security essay

I've uploaded my 'What security means to me' essay, it got put in a pile and totally forgot about, but after coming across it again decided to put it up, so it wouldn't become a waste. The link for it is on the right under 'SECURITY ESSAY'. Its a small simple essay, no jargon in sight.

An important milestone

Today I attended a much needed meeting with cooper.

My major subjects and uncontrollable circumsatnces, have taken up my every waking moment. Security and privacy had to take a backseat, but I then found that I slipped into a rut with it. I didnt know where I was in the module, what my focus should be on. Also I had a lot of questions that needed yes/ nos to, mainly on my learning imparement, but without answers was uphill challege to proceed.

I feel relieved now. The meeting turned out to be quite productive. I now know my route ahead with my study. I discovered I'm not as far behind as I thought, my last week was so tough, to me it seemed like two weeks had past, with this in mind I dont think I will ask for an extension, I'll see how the week ahead pans out with my study, but for now its a no.

As for derferring, which was mentioned. I did give it a lot of time and thought. Im very realistic, however I'm even more determined and stubborn and that won over. I made a deal with myself that I would finish this year, and thats what I will do. whether it means burning myself again. Also getting the impression someone doesn't think you can do something is great at giving you a boost, to prove them wrong.



So what now:

Catch up on last weeks lecture notes. Also refresh myself on the previous lecture notes.

Carry on reading.

Look into legality and ethics for the artifact assessment.

Have a look at last weeks workshop task, attempt solving the encription, attempt.

Look into more case studys within security and privacy.
