Interviewee

I have looked into an interviewee for my project.

I have found a man that has worked in forensics for many years, Mr. Edward Strimlan.

He is my mentor for my internship, which I will have next trimester.

Mr. Strimlan is also a professor at several universities.

Very interesting, he recently did a presentation on "real forensic science."

He will be a very good resource.

Work Done Today

I have gotten very far in my work today.

I have completed my essential and foundation questions, sources, and began my webliography.

Considering the time I have, I would say this is very good!

GRAD PROJECT CHANGED

My graduation project topic is changing!

It is going from school technologies to forensic science.

After meeting with the Internship Manager, Mrs. Kretschman, she informed me that it would be better to match my graduation project with my internship.

This entire blog will be changed somewhat to match the new topic.

Now my to-do list:
- New essential question
- New foundation questions
- New links
- New Webliography
- New collage
- New key terms

This should be very interesting. All this is due at the end of the week.

Key Terms

I began looking into key terms today.

They are required as part of the project.

They can be found to the right of this blog.

I find them to be subject to change, however, for they are a bit elementary.

Today

Today was a "clean-up" day.

My Webliography has been printed because yesterday's technology trouble prevented me from it.

More sources work, adding some of those extra sources into the Webliography. The rest of my day was pretty tedious.

Come Friday my Webliography should be up-to-date.

Webliography

I have my Webliography, but unable to export it. I do not know the problem but until it is resolved it stays on EasyBib.

I have my first 10 sources complete. There are 3 or 4 more that need to be done, but not required for the assignment due.

Next, working on my sources.

Today's Work

As Mr. Hamilton asked in the previous comment, I finished my Photoshop collage and it is now posted in the gadget to the right.

That took up the majority of the class. Between that and posting this blog entry, the day is about over.

Photoshop Image

Today, I worked solely on my Photoshop image.

My idea is this:
- Get a binary background for, well, the background
- Get a school building
- Mask it with a motherboard image
- Get wires coming out of the walls
- Get something hacker-related to be on the other side

Interview

I set up an interview this past week.

The man's name is Peter Djalaliev. He has a B.S in Computer Science and is currently working on his PhD.

I want to get information from him on web security and web attacks. Any information can help me. He specializes in software attacks and this is a big help.
