Elliott C. Back: In Aere Aedificare

I don’t usually write about my life, but today I have a lot of things to do:

*CENSORED*

3) Chinese HW

Done. I will do this while in CS430, and the hour afterwards when I eat lunch. I have one thing to make up from yesterday, but oh well. I will still get this done. Interestingly enough, this is probably the only class I will bring with me over break because it’s so hard to memorize the hanzi (??)…

4) Get NYC tix, laundry, pack, determine when I am going… ;_;

DONE. I am going to Chinese class, then heading on out of here.

5) Start music project
6) Start 430 project

These two, sadly, haven’t happened, although I asked my prof just what the 430 project entails…

7) Make sure security project is good to go

DONE. Ah yes–need to sign the certificates. Open SSL is more complicated than you might think. First I used genrsa to create a public/private key pair, then I used req to generate a self-signed CA certificate with the -x509 flag, which is important because it creates a certificate instead of a certificate request! So, here are the commands in entirety:

touch index.txt
echo “01″ > serial.txt
openssl genrsa 2048 > ca.key
openssl req -config openssl.cfg -new -x509 -key ca.key -out ca.cert
openssl ca -ss_cert andrewPemCert -cert ca.cert -keyfile ca.key -config openssl.cfg -out andrewSignedPemCert
openssl x509 -inform PEM -outform DER -in andrewSignedPemCert -out andrewSignedDerCert

8) Sun Parser, mtg

DONE. Started writing the parse, but leaving regexes for a little later. The mtg was ok.

9) Blog feedburner…

DONE. this will be my next post.

10) Buy some things from the store

Heh. When I come back from t-break?

11) ???

Heh–this will be when I sleep.
