Last night in the Taekwondo class, I sucked. I mean sucked big time. Oh, the
shame, the shame. I lost both the sparring matches, the second one very very
poorly. And oh yeah, yesterday I finally got the green stripe on my belt. I had
already cleared the retest and had been waiting for the stripe. Duh, it is just
green scotch tape wrapped around the belt. Fogla told me not to wash the belt;
otherwise the tape would come off. So much so for hygine.

Life goes on, I met Dr. Wenke Lee yesterday and talked about a research idea I had.
The idea was a bummer. Someone already did that work. I am right now looking at
the paper and finding out how much damage has been done and what can be
recovered. He also suggested a few new ideas and rejuvenated my enthusiasm in
the security area. I think I likes network security, worms etc. Back to the
drawing  board, I am feeing a bit better, reading and generating new ideas.
