Okay I've been negotiating some pretty large security contracts lately ($20 000+), and I've been developing some software for the local computer store here (POS software and an Arch Linux install script). I guess developing games isn't where the money is after all. I still plan on developing games, maybe after these security contracts settle down I'll develop PixelWorld or an (MMO)RPG. We'll see, I can't wait to get my security software out there I hope it changes the way people view internet security...This is designed to never be reversed or cracked on a software or a hardware level.
After I get my first large contract I hope to move out into a house. I'm currently living with my friend Brandon, his brother Michael, and his father John. In this house I'm picturing an XMas tree, an LCD TV, a NES, and Eggnog + Vodka. What more do I need?
On another note, I also plan on doing not just network security but local security as well. My securities don't just involve encryption (In fact the network based ones involve very small amounts of encryption), so that just adds to the fun. I hope some hackers stand up and offer to test out my security because I myself cannot crack it and we're gonna be getting in a university student or two to attempt.
The current estimated time is it would take 10 million computers 3 years to retrieve one month's worth of data from one client in a perfect situation. As pleasant as this is to hear I would actually beg to differ. With a linguistics expert I would estimate that with only 10 000 computers it would take 6 months to get 1 month worth of data from one client in a perfect situation (The perfect situation is important). However I plan on increasing the security to hopefully make it take something like 100 000 computers 12 months with 3 linguistics experts. And that's just the chat protocol. Expect heavier security later on, the only issue is I wouldn't want to sacrifice speed too much but I think I may have it fixed enough to actually constitute the "10 million computers 3 years" estimate.
