So, I’ve been exercising a lot recently. I have to get ready to go to Officer Candidate School in January, and I wouldn’t like to have my heart explode after 2 days or so. I was able to get my 1.5 mile run time down to 14:30 today (quit laughing, I’ve never exercised in my life until this month). I would like to get it around 12:30 (or better). I already feel that I can breathe deeper, but now I need to psych myself up into running for longer, faster.

Read an interesting technique today on concealing e-mail addresses. Normally I just go all out with the gymnastics, replacing . with (DOT) and @ with (AT), but that’s cumbersome, and doesn’t work well for making the link clickable. The technique I read today involves replacing each character with the corresponding HTML entity equivalent. For example, an uppercase A in the address would turn into &65;. I just hacked together a Perl script to convert e-mail addresses into equivalent HTML entities. Let’s see how much more spam the webmaster@microsoft.com gets. :-)
